VERSUS

MITCHELL W. RIDER DECEMBER 16, 2024

In Re: Mitchell W. Rider, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 08- 17- 0860.

BEFORE: GUIDRY, C. J., PENZATO AND STROMBERG, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. Counsel failed to comply with Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rule 4- 5( C)( 10) and ( 11), by failing to include all the pertinent criminal court minutes and a signed return date order reflecting the return date set by the district court. Counsel also failed to comply with Rule 2- 12. 2( C) ( 2), as several documents attached to the writ are not 14 point larger or computer font. Moreover, although it is not a rule violation, we note that counsel failed to include a copy of the transcript of the guilty plea proceedings held on June 10, 2019, and a copy of any exhibits introduced at the hearing. See City of Baton Rouge v. Plain, 433 So. 2d 710 La.), cert. denied, 464 U. S. 896, 104 S. Ct. 246, 78 L. Ed. 2d 235 1983). Supplementation of this writ application and/ or an application for rehearing will not be considered. See Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 2- 18. 7 & 4- 9. Any future filing on this issue should include the entire contents of this application, the items missing noted above, and a copy of

this ruling. Insofar as counsel contends the district court abused its discretion by not allowing relator to withdraw his guilty plea, the writ application is denied. " Upon motion of the defendant and after a contradictory hearing, which may be waived by the State in writing, the trial court may permit a plea of guilty to be withdrawn at any time before sentence." La. Code Crim. P. art. 559( A). There is no record of and the documents included with the writ do not show that relator filed a motion or orally requested to withdraw the in this guilty plea case before or after sentencing.
