¶1dissent. La. R.S. 15:574.4(A)(1) provides that: “A person convicted of a third or subsequent felony and committed to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections shall not be eligible for parole”. While defendant is only a second felony offender under the habitual offender law in La.R.S. 15:529.1, for the purposes of La.R.S. 15:474.4(A)(1) he should be considered a third felony offender as the statute clearly provides.
