1Opinion of the Court
BROWN, Chief Judge.
11 Defendant, John G. Cross, was convicted by a unanimous six-person jury of arson with intent to defraud, a violation of La. R.S. 14:53. Defendant was adjudicated a second-felony habitual offender and sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment at hard labor. He was also ordered to pay a $2,000 fine and make restitution to the victim in the amounts of $1,355 and $750. Defendant now appeals. As the $2,000 fine was not authorized under La. R.S. 15:529.1, defendant’s sentence is amended to delete the fine. Otherwise, defendant’s conviction and sentence, as amended, are affirmed.
