THIBODEAUX, Chief Judge.
11 David F. Pittman was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, a violation of La.R.S. 40:966. He entered a plea of not guilty.
After a jury trial, Pittman was found guilty as charged and was sentenced to thirty years at hard labor. Then, Pittman was adjudicated a sixth offender and sentenced to forty-five years at hard labor. Pittman’s Motion to Reconsider Sentence was denied. Because we find the evidence insufficient for the conviction, we reverse and order the entry of a judgment of acquittal.
