State Of Louisiana v. Glen Thompkins

Opinion

STATE OF LOUISIANA

COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2021 KW 0370

VERSUS

GLEN THOMPKINS A/ K/ A GLENN AUGUST 3, 2021 THOMPKINS

In Re: Glen Thompkins a/ k/ a Glenn Thompkins, applying for

supervisory writs, 17th Judicial District Court,

Parish of Lafourche, No. 558, 909.

BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C. J., WELCH AND CHUTZ, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. An evaluation of the facts and circumstances

surrounding the multiple offender proceedings in this case show

that the delay in adjudicating relator as a habitual offender

was reasonable. There is nothing in the record to establish any abusive or vindictive behavior on the part of the State. See State v. Muhammad, 2003- 2991 ( La. 5/ 25/ 04), 875 So. 2d 45; State

v. Broussard, 416 So. 2d 109, 110 ( La. 1982). Accordingly, the

district court did not err by denying relator' s " Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus" or his " Motion to Vacate Habitual

Offender Adjudication and Vacate an Illegal Habitual Offender

Sentence."
