1Opinion of the Court

h DREW, Judge.

Convicted of two counts of forgery, Anthony Hopson was adjudicated a second felony offender, and sentenced to two consecutive terms of 15 years at hard labor, without benefit of probation, parole or suspension of sentence. We affirm the defendant’s convictions. However, we vacate his sentences and remand this matter to the trial court for resentencing. Our review of the record suggests that the sentence re-imposed not exceed 15 years at hard labor, to be served concurrently, and without benefit of probation or suspension of sentence.
