Louisiana Court of Appeal

1Opinion of the CourtDrew, J.

_JjAt jury trial, Katrina Grimble was convicted of first degree robbery. La. R.S. 14:64.1. She was sentenced to 15 years at hard labor, but without denial of benefits. The state filed a bill, charging her as a second-felony habitual offender. She was adjudicated as such and sentenced to 20 years at hard labor, again without noting the denial of certain benefits.

Grimble appeals, claiming insufficiency of evidence and a flawed adjudication. She is partially correct. We affirm the conviction. We vacate the habitual offender adjudication and enhanced sentence, and remand.
