Opinion

Writ application granted. See per curiam.

Writ granted. Relator was charged with a violation of LSA-R.S. 14:112, which requires the intent to obtain a “special privilege or advantage.” We find the evidence insufficient to show that, in assisting his daughter in obtaining a drivers license, relator had the intent to obtain a “special advantage.” We therefore reverse and vacate relators conviction and sentence. CONVICTION REVERSED; SENTENCE VACATED.
