STATE v. BAKER

No. 2006-K-2175.

970 So.2d 948 (2007)

STATE of Louisiana v. Monolo Anton BAKER.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

Dissenting Opinion on Denial of Rehearing January 7, 2008.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Roach & Roach, Annette Fuller Roach, Lake Charles, for applicant.

Charles C. Foti, Jr., Attorney General, Paul Carmouche, District Attorney, Lea R. Hall, Jr., Tommy Jan Johnson, Jonathan Dhu Thompson, Catherine Marion Estopinal, Assistant District Attorneys, for respondent.

TRAYLOR, Justice.

The issue presented is whether a sentence imposed for possession of a firearm by a felon, a violation of La. R.S. 14:95.1, is subject to further enhancement under the habitual offender law, La. R.S. 15:529.1 Because we find nothing in the language of either statute which would prohibit the enhancement of a sentence imposed for a violation of La. R.S. 14:95.1 under the circumstances of this case, we affirm the appellate court decision.
