1Opinion of the CourtBrown, C.J.
Defendant, Amethyst Baird Rathore, pled guilty to illegal possession of stolen things, in violation of La. R.S. 14:69, and possession of methamphetamines, in violation of La. R.S. 40:967, and she was sentenced to ten years at hard labor as to each of the two charges, which were ordered to run consecutively. She has appealed from the trial court's sentencing enhancement under La. R.S. 40:982 as violating her plea agreement or, alternatively, as rendering her guilty plea involuntary. Defendant also challenges as excessive her sentences for both charges. Finding no error, we affirm.
