STATE OF LOUISIANA v. JACOB FAY LUKE, SR.
Jacob Fay Luke, Sr., applying for supervisory writs, 32nd Judicial District Court, Parish of Terrebonne, Nos. 794927, 794928, 794929, 794930, 805338, 814515, 795699.
BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C.J., WELCH AND CHUTZ, JJ.
WRIT GRANTED. This matter was previously referred to 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.
