STATE v. RIVERS

No. 28565-KA.

681 So.2d 39 (1996)

STATE of Louisiana, Appellee, v. Phillip D. RIVERS, Appellant.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Second Circuit.

September 25, 1996.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Indigent Defender Board by David Hilburn, for Appellant.

Richard Ieyoub, Attorney General, James M. Bullers, District Attorney, Whitley R. Graves, Assistant District Attorney, for Appellee.

Before HIGHTOWER, WILLIAMS, and STEWART, JJ.

HIGHTOWER, Judge.

Originally charged with armed robbery, La.R.S. 14:64, Phillip Rivers pled guilty to conspiracy, La.R.S. 14:26, to commit that crime. On appeal, he argues that the district judge imposed an excessive sentence and had not previously advised him of the sentencing range. Our review discloses an error patent invalidating defendant's plea. Accordingly, we reverse the conviction and remand the case for further proceedings.
