Louisiana Court of Appeal · Decided May 30, 1984 · Boutall, Bowes, Du, Fresne
451 So. 2d 1192; 1984 La. App. LEXIS 8942 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. O'Conner

Opinion of the Court

BOUTALL, Judge.

Applicant was charged in First Parish Court for the Parish of Jefferson with the crime of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant, LRS 14:98.

Prior to trial applicant filed a motion demanding a jury trial which was denied by the trial judge. Applicant has applied to us for supervisory writs to annul the judge’s denial of jury trial and to order a jury trial held.

We have discussed this issue of entitlement to jury trial at length in State of Louisiana v. Vieto, — So.2d - (La. 1984). For the reasons therein expressed we conclude the ruling complained of is correct.

Writs refused.
