State v. Bumpus

OPINION

BURKE, Justice.

After pleading no contest, Donald L. Bumpus was convicted of two counts of first degree burglary, a class B felony. A divided court of appeals concluded that Bumpus’ resulting sentence was excessive and his case was remanded with instructions setting an upper limit for any new sentence. Bumpus v. State, 776 P.2d 329 (Alaska App.1989). The state petitioned for hearing from the decision of the court of appeals, and the petition was granted. Having now examined the case on its merits, we affirm in part and reverse in part.
