1. “This Court addressed the same problem in State v. Winfrey, 97-427 (La.App. 5th Cir.10/38/97) (sic), 703 So.2d 63 , writ denied, 98-0264 (La.6/19/98), 719 So.2d 481 . In that case, the defendant filed a motion to reconsider his one-hundred year enhanced sentence, which, on appeal, defendant claimed was excessive. This Court found that it would be premature to rule on the excessiveness issue while a motion to reconsider sentence was pending, and remanded the case with these instructions: Rather than rule on the excessiveness issue while a motion for reconsideration is pending which may vacate the present sentence, we remand the case for a ruling on the motion and supplementation of the record with the results. If the motion to reconsider is granted and defendant is re-sentenced, he may appeal the new sentence. If the motion is denied or if it has already been ruled on, defendant must move to re-lodge this appeal within sixty days of the date of the ruling on the motion to reconsider sentence or the date of this opinion, whichever is later. State v. Winfrey, supra at 81 ; See also LSA C.Cr.P. art. 881.4-C; State v. Smith, 96-285 (La.App. 5th Cir.10/1/96), 683 So.2d 826 ; State v. Sanders, 618 So.2d 904 (La.App. 1st Cir.1993).”
