¶1*433 William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., J. Nathan Stansbury, Dist. Atty., Louis G. Garrott, Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.

¶2David Clarke, Lafayette, for defendant-appellant.

¶3PER CURIAM[*].

¶4Defendant Steven Huntsberry was charged by bill of information with the crime of armed robbery, in violation of La. R.S. 14:64. On November 19, 1980, he was tried by a twelve person jury and found guilty as charged. He was thereafter sentenced to fifty years at hard labor without benefit of parole, probation or suspension of sentence.

¶5On appeal originally, this Court affirmed his conviction, but upon finding that the trial judge failed to comply with the sentencing guidelines of La.C.Cr.P. art. 894.1, vacated the sentence and remanded the case to the district court for resentencing in accordance with law. State v. Huntsberry,409 So.2d 555 (La.1982).

¶6On May 17, 1982, the trial judge again imposed a sentence of fifty years' imprisonment at hard labor without benefit of parole, probation or suspension of sentence. Defendant again appeals, arguing that the sentence is still inadequately reasoned under La.C.Cr.P. art. 894.1 and that it is excessive. We find no merit in either of these arguments.

Decree
