1Opinion of the Court
CALLOWAY, J., Pro Tempore.
|,The defendant, Kevin Morris, was convicted at a bench trial of stalking, a violation of La. R.S. 14:40.2, and remaining after being forbidden, a violation of La. R.S. 14:63.3.- The trial court imposed concurrent sentences of six -months in the parish jail. Morris now appeals. Because the record shows that the defendant was entitled to a jury trial but does not reflect whether he validly waived that right, we remand this matter to the trial court for a hearing to determine whether the defendant waived his right to a jury trial.
