State ex rel. Williams v. Louisiana State Board of Parole
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided March 7, 1975 · Barham, Dixon, Tate
309 So. 2d 340; 1975 La. LEXIS 5134 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State ex rel. Williams v. Louisiana State Board of Parole

Concurring Opinion

DIXON, J.,

concurs in the denial. 15:574.9 was correctly interpreted by the Board. However, the Board’s indication that the subsequent conviction made the matter “moot” under 15 :574.10 is in error.

Opinion of the Court

In re: Edward Williams applying for Writ of Mandamus and Habeas Corpus.

Writ denied. The showing made does not warrant the exercise of this Court’s supervisory jurisdiction. The ruling of the trial court is correct.

Concurring Opinion

BARHAM and TATE, JJ.,

we concur. Institution of revocation proceeding was commenced prior to expiration of his parole term. La.R.S. IS :574.9, subd. C. We are doubtful that a parole may be revoked under La.R.S. 15:574.10 without notice prior to expiration of a parole term and deem advisable a legislative clarification, such as by providing a delay period following expiration of the parole term within which proceedings to revoke a parole (because of 15:574.10) may be instituted.
