OPINION

EHRLICH, Judge.

¶ 1 Gerardo Guytan (“defendant”) appeals, raising issues regarding the substitution of an alternate juror during jury deliberations and the constitutionality of a prison sentence of “natural life” for first-degree murder. We discuss the procedure for the substitution of a juror during deliberations, and we affirm the convictions for murder, two aggravated assaults and a drive-by shooting, and the sentence of the defendant to a term of natural life. We modify the other three sentences for terms of fixed years.
