MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Jeffrey Warner ["Warner" or "appellant"] appeals the trial court's imposition of a sentence of life imprisonment under 14 V.I.C. § 923(b). Warner argues the life term imposed by the court was not permitted under the applicable statute and, therefore, constituted an improper exercise of discretion. For the reasons stated below, Warner's sentence will be vacated and the matter remanded for resentencing.
