BEFORE: MaDONALD, HOLDRIDGE, AND PENZATO, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. The record of the East Baton Rouge Parish Clerk of Court shows that on January 6, 2021, the State filed a bili of information charging relator battery with aggravated

with a knife and domestic abuse aggravated assault with a knife, felonies in violation of La. R. S. 14: 34( A) and 14: 37. 7 ( A) . It is well- settled that if the bill of information is filed after the statutory period has elapsed, but before the hearing is held on a motion for release of bond obligation, the defendant is no

longer entitled to be released. See State v. Varmall, 539 So. 2d 45 ( La. 1989) ( per curiam) . Furthermore, the Clerk of Court of

East Baton Rouge Parish has no record of a pro se motion for release of bond obligation.
