No. 53,536-KA COURT OF APPEAL SECOND CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA ***** STATE OF LOUISIANA Appellee versus BRIDGET EBARB Appellant ***** Appealed from the First Judicial District Court for the Parish of Caddo, Louisiana Trial Court No. 351,763 Honorable Ramona L. Emanuel, Judge ***** LOUISIANA APPELLATE PROJECT By: Meghan Harwell Bitoun Counsel for Appellant JAMES EDWARD STEWART, SR. District Attorney Counsel for Appellee JOSHUA K. WILLIAMS Assistant District Attorney ***** Before WILLIAMS, GARRETT and COX, JJ. NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION Rule 2-16.3, Uniform Rules, Courts of Appeal PER CURIAM. 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.
