    STATE of Louisiana v. Otis James LEWIS.
    No. 58774.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 9, 1977.
    Sam Nelken, Natchitoches, for defendant-appellant.
    William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., Ronald C. Martin, Dist. Atty., Eric R. Harrington, Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

While there is no merit to defendant’s assignment of error, the sentence to twenty-five years at hard labor without benefit of probation, parole or pardon is improper. The gubernatorial power to pardon may not be precluded by the terms of a sentence. La.Const. Art. 4, § 5(E) (1974); State v. Williams, 338 So.2d 672 (La.1976); State v. Spotville, 308 So.2d 763 (La.1975).

Defendant’s conviction is affirmed, but the sentence is vacated and set aside. The case is remanded to the trial court for re-sentencing in accordance with the foregoing.
