Writ Application from Iberia Parish Case No. 11-CR-1790
BEFORE JUDGES: Hon. John D. Saunders Hon. Phyllis M. Keaty Hon. Candyce G. Perret
As counsel of record in the captioned case, you are hereby notified that the ruling on the application for rehearing filed by State of Louisiana is:
REHEARING DENIED. The State fails to show the untimely filing of the writ application was not due to its own fault as required by Uniform Rules — Courts of Appeal Rule 4-3. Tracking information obtained from the receipt submitted with the State's rehearing application showed the package was dropped off after the final pickup occurred for that FedEx location. Thus, the package was not mailed until the next day. Accordingly, the receipt submitted with the State's writ application was not made at the time of mailing as required by Uniform Rules — Courts of Appeal Rule 2-13.
cc: Harry Daniels, III, Counsel for the Respondent
