Rule 2-16.3, Uniform Rules, Courts of Appeal

This appeal arises from the conviction and sentence of the defendant.

Pursuant to La. C. Cr. P. art. 821, the trial court is required to rule on a

defendant’s motion for post-verdict judgment of acquittal prior to

sentencing. Failure to do so requires the sentence be vacated and the matter

remanded for further proceedings. Accordingly, the defendant’s sentence is

set aside and vacated, and the case is remanded for further proceedings on

the defendant’s motion for post-verdict judgment of acquittal.
