Opinion
WRIT DENIED: The trial court did not err by denying relator’s motion for correction of illegal sentence. The maximum penalty for distribution of cocaine is thirty years at hard labor because cocaine is elsewhere defined as a narcotic drug. See La.R.S. 40:961; La.R.S. 40:967. Any indication to the contrary in State v. Ellison, 572 So.2d 262 (La.App. 1st Cir.1990), writ denied, 575 So.2d 388 (La.1991), is erroneous and is not binding on either the trial court or this Court.
