1Opinion of the Court

RAPER, Chief Justice.

The appellant-defendant Jesus Monje Sanchez pleaded guilty in the district court . to a third-degree sexual assault, § 6-4-304, W.S.1977, and was sentenced to a term of not less than one year and eight months nor more than four years in the Wyoming State Penitentiary. This appeal challenges the sentence on the ground that the district court erred in stating it could not consider probation.

We will vacate the judgment and sentence and remand the case for further proceedings.

We premise this decision on the ground that the record, as it stands, simply will not support a plea…
