1Opinion of the Court

EDWIN A. LOMBARD, Judge.

_JjThis appeal filed by counsel on behalf of the defendant, Auther Williams, is from a trial court judgment denying a motion to correct an illegal sentence. However, because a denial of a motion to correct an illegal sentence is not an appeal-able judgment, we convert the appeal to a •writ application. See State v. Hill, 2011-0683 (La.App. 4 Cir. 4/4/12), 89 So.3d 396. For the following reasons, the defendant’s application for supervisory relief is denied.
