Opinion

STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2021 KW 0376

VERSUS

JACOB FAY LUKE, SR. JUNE 7, 2021

In Re: Jacob Fay Luke, Sr., for applying supervisory writs,

32nd Judicial District Court, Parish of Terrebonne, Nos. 794927, 794928, 794929, 794930, 805338, 814515, 795699.

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

WRIT GRANTED. This matter was referred to previously defense counsel by the district court pursuant to State v.

Thibodeaux, 2017- 0705 ( La. 12/ 6/ 17), 236 So. 3d 1253 ( per

curiam). Thus, the matter is now remanded to the district court to conduct a contradictory hearing in this matter regarding pro se motions filed by relator. If defense counsel declines to adopt relator' s motions, then the court should evaluate their disruptive potential in light of State v. Melon, 95- 2209 ( La. 9/ 22/ 95), 660 So. 2d 466, before determining whether to conduct a hearing consistent with State v. Alexander, 2007- 1236 ( La. App. 3d. Cir. 4/ 9/ 08), 980 So. 2d 877. See State v. Thibodeaux, 236 So. 3d at 1256.
