Opinion

STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2021 KW 0388

VERSUS

JAYVON R. SCHAFFER JUNE 71 2021

In Re: Jayvon R. Schaffer, applying for supervisory writs, 21st Judicial District Court, Parish of Tang_ipahoa, No. 1602000- C.

BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C. J., WELCH AND CHUTZ, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. Relator' s postconviction relief claim is without merit on its face. The district court record shows that on March 11, 2019, relator was advised of and voluntar_ly and

intelligently waived his triad of constitutional rights associated with a trial on the manslaughter charges including the right to trial by jury, the right to confront one' s accusers at trial, and the privilege against compulsory self- incrimination, otherwise known as the right to remain silent at trial. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 556. 1; Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U. S. 238, 243, 89 S. Ct. 1709, 1712, 23 L. Ed. 2d 274 ( 1969).

Therefore, the district court did not err by summarily denying the application for postconviction relief without ordering the state to file a response and without holding an evidentiary hearing.
