350 So. 2d 1225; 1977 La. LEXIS 4779 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State ex rel. Matthews v. Dees

Concurring Opinion

TATE, J.,

concurs. At the time relator was paroled in 1965, he did not forfeit good time credit previously earned. La.R.S. 15:574.9 (1956). I do not believe that the 1968 amendment (La.R.S. 15:574.9E) is applicable, which permitted discretion in the boards to allow or disallow such credit when the parole is revoked.

Opinion of the Court

In re: Robert Matthews, applying for writ of certiorari. ■

Granted. The trial judge is to hold a hearing and make a record which will demonstrate the reason relator is or is not entitled to good time credit.
