Supreme Court of Louisiana, 1975

State v. Loupe

Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided October 17, 1975 · Dixon, Intent, Long, Recess, That, Violates, Within, Year

320 So. 2d 564; 1975 La. LEXIS 4567 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

In re: Joseph B. Loupe applying for Writs of Certiorari, Prohibition, Mandamus and Stay Order.

Writ refused. The showing made is insufficient to warrant the exercise of our supervisory jurisdiction. See LSA-C.Cr.P. art. 708, comments (b).

DIXON, J., is of the opinion that the long “recess” violates the clear intent of the code requirements that the State must try misdemeanors within one year.
