1Opinion of the Court
BROWN, Chief Judge.
| defendant, Oscar K. James, conditionally pled guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. He reserved his right to appeal the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress evidence seized from his vehicle and his confession. See State v. Crosby, 338 So.2d 584 (La.1976). Defendant was sentenced to 20 years at hard labor, with the first two years to be served without benefit of parole. In addition to the denial of his motion to suppress, defendant appeals his sentence as excessive. We affirm defendant’s conviction and sentence.
