STATE of Louisiana
v.
Kenneth R. MORGAN.

No. 2009-KK-0261.

Supreme Court of Louisiana.

February 5, 2009.

Writ granted. There is no showing that the defendant was prejudiced by the late disclosure of the witnesses' statements; thus, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion for a mistrial. Accordingly, the court of appeal's ruling is hereby vacated and the ruling of the district court denying the motion for a mistrial is reinstated. Case remanded to district court for further proceedings.

JOHNSON, J., would deny the writ.
