313 So. 2d 241; 1975 La. LEXIS 4462 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State v. Bell

Concurring Opinion

DIXON, J.,

concurs, but is of the opinion that the writ should be granted. The only question on assignment No. 1 is what the record shows about “pending matters”.

Opinion of the Court

In re: John J. Bell et al. applying for supervisory writs of certiorari, prohibition, mandamus and habeas corpus.

Writ granted in part; denied in part. In regard to assignment of error No. 1, it is ordered that a hearing be held at which evidence be adduced as to this issue. As to assignment of error No. 2, insufficient showing has been made to warrant the exercise of our supervisory jurisdiction.

Concurring Opinion

BARHAM, J.,

concurs. Under assignment of error No. 2, relators have right to reapply for bail reduction and make proper showing of reduction right under C.Cr.P. 317.
