State v. Boult

Supreme Court of Louisiana
State v. Boult, 425 So. 2d 779 (La. 1983)
1983 La. LEXIS 9488

State v. Boult

Opinion of the Court

In re Ronald Boult, applying for writ of certiorari, prohibition and mandamus. Parish of Caddo, City Court of Shreveport. Nos. B-1879, B-1880, B-1881 and B-1882.

*780Considering the application for writs as a petition for an out-of-time appeal, we grant the application and transfer the matter to the Court of Appeal for the Second Circuit. A sentence to pay a $500 fine coupled with confiscation of defendant’s revolver meets the jurisdictional minimum and makes this case appealable. La. Const, art. 5 § 10(A), CCrP 779. Since no order of appeal was entered prior to July 1, 1982, this Court does not have exclusive appellate jurisdiction; the matter will therefore be transferred to the Court of Appeal. La. Const, art. V, § 5(E).
