State ex rel. Thibodeaux v. Waltzer
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided January 27, 1984 · Calogero, Grant, Lemmon, Watson, Writ
444 So. 2d 623; 1984 La. LEXIS 8094 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)
State ex rel. Thibodeaux v. Waltzer

Opinion of the Court

In Re: ROBERT L. THIBODEAUX applying for writ of Certiorari and review, Parish of Orleans, Number 260-072, Criminal-District Court.

Denied.

Concurring Opinion

LEMMON, J.,

concurs in the denial for the reasons stated by Justice Calogero. However, the Sherer decision is wrong and should be overruled.

WATSON, J., would grant the writ.

Concurring Opinion

CALOGERO, J.,

concurs. Even applying State v. Sherer, 411 So.2d 1050 (La. 1982), there is no practical difference to relator between the sentences imposed and those to which Sherer suggests he is entitled. Furthermore, the Sherer rule is questionable.
