v.

No. CR94-1075.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.

March 22, 1995.

Morgan J. Goudeau, III, Opelousas, for State.

David Randal Wagley, Opelousas, for Gregory Rosette.

Before DOUCET, C.J., and KNOLL and SAUNDERS, Judges

SAUNDERS, Judge.

Defendant, Gregory Rosette, appeals his conviction for distribution of cocaine in violation of La.R.S. 40:967(A). Because we find that the photograph line-up was unduly suggestive and created a substantial likelihood of misidentification, we reverse.
