State ex rel. Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

In re Jones, Vernell; — Plaintiff; Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Jackson; 2nd Judicial District Court Div. B, No. 33,234; to the Court of Appeal, Second Circuit, No. 34373-KH.

Denied.

Concurring in Part

CALOGERO, C.J.,

would grant in part, otherwise deny. The district court should be ordered to hold a hearing at which it would determine whether relator’s medical treatment on the day of his guilty plea rendered him incompetent to plead guilty. See generally La.Code Crim. Proc. art. 642; State v. Nomey, 613 So.2d 157 (La. 1993). In all other aspects, the application should be denied.

JOHNSON, J., would grant and remand to the district court for hearing.
