Bofill Duhe District Attorney - 16th Judicial District Robert Clauson Vines Assistant District Attorney 300 Iberia Street, Suite 200 New Iberia, LA 70560 (337) 369-4420 COUNSEL FOR APPELLEE: State of Louisiana Edward Kelly Bauman Louisiana Appellate Project P. O. Box 1641 Lake Charles, LA 70602-1641 (337) 491-0570 COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT: Phillip Andrew Schane Gremillion, Judge. On March 13, 2017, Defendant, Phillip Andrew Schane, filed a writ application with this court seeking review of the trial court’s January 17, 2017 denial of his motion to reconsider sentence. On April 5, 2017, this court transferred that writ application to the Louisiana Supreme Court. State v. Schane, 17-247. On June 29, 2017, this appeal was lodged. In his notice of appeal, Defendant listed several sentencing errors, including the denial of the motion to reconsider sentence addressed in the writ application transferred to the supreme court. Because the appeal involved issues being considered by the supreme court, the appeal proceedings were stayed. State v. Schane, 17-607 (La.App. 3 Cir. 9/27/17) (unpublished opinion).1 On April 6, 2018, the supreme court vacated Defendant’s sentence and remanded the matter to the Sixteenth Judicial District Court for further proceedings consistent with the views expressed in State v. Montgomery, 13-1163 (La. 6/28/16), 194 So.3d 606, and for resentencing pursuant to La.Code Crim.P. art. 878.1. State v. Schane, 17-582 (La. 4/6/18), 239 So.3d 286, clarified on rehearing, 17-582 (La. 6/1/18), 244 So.3d 433. The supreme court has taken action on Defendant’s writ application. Accordingly, the stay issued on September 27, 2017, is lifted. Furthermore, the supreme court vacated Defendant’s sentence, necessitating no further action by this court on Defendant’s appeal. Defendant’s appeal is, therefore, moot. STAY LIFTED. APPEAL MOOT. 1 2017 WL 4280781.
