STATE OF LOUISIANA * NO. 2016-KA-0579 VERSUS * COURT OF APPEAL RYAN HICKMAN * FOURTH CIRCUIT * STATE OF LOUISIANA * * ******* CONSOLIDATED WITH: CONSOLIDATED WITH: STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2016-K-0367 VERSUS RYAN HICKMAN JENKINS, J., CONCURS IN PART AND DISSENTS IN PART I concur with the majority in finding that the State produced sufficient evidence to establish defendant’s status as a fourth felony offender. However, in consideration that an adjudication of this defendant as a fourth felony offender subjects him to a mandatory minimum sentence of not less than twenty years and a maximum of a life sentence, I would remand this matter for a full sentencing hearing with instructions for the trial court to comply with Article 894.1(C) and I would reserve the right to defendant to seek appellate review of the sentence imposed. See State v. Ellis, 14-1170 (La. App. 4 Cir. 3/2/16), 190 So.3d 354.
