State ex rel. Chance v. State

Opinion of the Court

In re Chance, Allen E.; Applying for Remedial Writs; to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Number K86-1203; Parish of Sabine 11th Judicial District Court Div. “A” Number.

Denied.

CALOGERO, J., would grant the writ.

Concurring Opinion

LEMMON, J.,

concurs. The appellate court’s procedure for compelling compliance with court rules and for requiring complete applications by penitentiary inmates is generally reasonable. The Court pointed out the applicable court rule and listed the items necessary to complete the application. Although the period allowed for supplementation before dismissing the writ as not considered may be too short, relator may simply refile a new application and supply the previous deficiencies.
