PER CURIAM.

Granted in part.

La.Rev.Stat. 15:529.1 requires that the sentencing judge vacate the 44 original sentence and resentence the defendant as a multiple offender. In resentencing, the judge must impose a sentence authorized by La.Rev.Stat. 15:529.1. That statute does no authorize the imposition of a fine, but only provides for enhanced sentences relating to the term of imprisonment. The trial judge was therefore without authority to impose a fine on resentencing under La.Rev.Stat. 15:529.1

According, the fine and default provisions of defendant's sentence are deleted. The application is otherwise denied.
