1Opinion of the CourtDrew, J.
| ¶ Russell Jones was charged with distribution of Schedule I narcotics, a violation of La. R.S. 40:966 which allegedly occurred on February 28, 2012. He first pled not guilty, but on a later date pled guilty in exchange for a 15-year sentencing cap and the state’s agreement not to prosecute him as an habitual offender. The court that same day sentenced Jones to serve 14 years at hard labor. Jones untimely filed a motion to reconsider sentence, which was denied by the trial court. He appeals the excessiveness of his sentence.
