F, No. 401-227; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 99-KA-1412. Writ granted in part; otherwise denied. Because R.S. 40:967(B)(4)(b) allows and requires a prohibition on parole only for “the first five years” of the sentence, relator’s sentence is amended to change the prohibition on parole for the entire 15-year term to a prohibition for only five years.
