STATE OF LOUISIANA v. CALEB CARTER
In Re: Caleb Carter, applying for supervisory writs, 23rd Judicial District Court, Parish of Ascension, No. 35,827. BEFORE: McCLENDON, WELCH, AND HOLDRIDGE, 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 to determine if relator is capable of representing himself; and if so, does relator desire to represent himself and forego representation by defense counsel as set forth in Thibodeaux.
