STATE OF LOUISIANA VERSUS ALPHONSO ALLEN FILED: 03/03/15

On application of Alphonso Allen for Writ of Review in No. 74392 on the docket of the Eleventh Judicial District Court, Parish of Sabine, Hon. Stephen Bruce Beasley.

Counsel for: Pro se Alphonso Allen Counsel for: Hon. Don M. Burkett State of Louisiana Lake Charles, Louisiana, on March 17, 2015.

WRIT DENIED: Although titled “Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus,” Defendant’s pleading, in reality, requests relief under La.Code Crim.P. art. 701. There is no time limitation for the contradictory hearing required by art. 701. In this case, the district court has scheduled a hearing for March 19, 2015. We find such time period reasonable.

Accordingly, we deny Defendant’s writ.
