2015 La. LEXIS 1265; 2015 WL 3421606
State ex rel. Simmons v. State
Opinion of the Court
In re Simmons, Kentell;—Plaintiff; Applying For. Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Jefferson, 24th Judicial District Court Div. P, No. 10-2508; to the Court of Appeal, Fifth Circuit, No. 14-KH-288.
Writ granted in part; because R.S. 14:31 does not authorize the court to deny eligibility for parole, relator’s sentence is amended to delete the restriction. Relator’s parole eligibility is to be determined by the Department of Corrections pursuant to R.S. 15:574.4. St. Amant v. 19th J.D.C., 94-0567 (La.9/3/96), 678 So.2d 536; cf. State ex rel. Simmons v. Stalder, 93-1852 (La 1/26/96), 666 So.2d 661. In all other respects, the application is denied.
