Welch, J., dissents and would grant the writ application. If It has not already conducted the preliminary examination (or made a determination the request has been withdrawn) , I would order the trial court to conduct the hearing promptly, or to order relator released from his bond obligation. See La. Code Crim. P. arts. 292 & 293. COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT
