OPINION

BARKER, J.

We granted this appeal by Ronnie William (Billy) Taylor, the appellant, in order to address issues pertinent to the sentences he received in the trial court. In our review, however, we notice as plain error an invalid conviction that was imposed upon appellant for an offense that was not charged in the indictment. 1 Accordingly, for the reasons outlined below, we vacate the invalid burglary conviction and affirm the trial court’s judgment as modified. The cause is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
