WIL
Theriot J., dissentsand would deny the writ application. The district court did not err in denying relator's motion to compel. Relator is not entitled to a free copy of his guilty plea transcript because the time limitation to seek postconviction relief has expired. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.8(A). Furthermore, there is no indication that relator made a showing of a particularized need by filing an application for postconviction relief which would fall under the exceptions to La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.8(A). See State ex rel. Fleury v. State, 93-2898 (La 10/13/95), 661 So.2d 488.
