## How later opinions describe it (automated extraction)

- holding that the circuit court’s failure to apply the mandatory enhancements contained in § 13A-12-231(13) renders the appellant’s sentence illegal

## Opinion text

I concur with the majority's conclusion that the issue of the admissibility of the certificate of analysis is not properly before this court for review. However, I dissent because I believe the majority should also analyze whether the appellant's convictions for both first-degree unlawful manufacture of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) and trafficking in methamphetamine violate double jeopardy principles.
