Opinion text
In re Hebert, Edward J.; — Plaintiff; Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Lafayette, 15th Judicial District Court Div. E, No. 79770; to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, No. KH 03-00296. Writ granted in part; otherwise denied. Because the terms of the statutes under which relator was sentenced do not include a prohibition on diminution of sentence pursuant to R.S. 15:571.3, see R.S. 14:31, relator’s sentence is amended to delete the prohibition. Relator’s eligibility is to be determined by the Department of Corrections pursuant to R.S. 15:571.3. State ex rel. Simmons v. Stalder, 93-1852 (La.1/26/96), 666 So.2d 661 ; cf. State ex rel. Meeks v. State, 98-1930 (La.1/29/99), 736 So.2d 820 ; St. Amant v. 19th J.D.C., 94-0567 (La.9/3/96), 678 So.2d 536 . The district court is directed to make an entry in the minutes reflecting this change. In all other respects, the writ is denied.
