STATE OF LOUISIANA v. JAMIE B. MITCHELL
Jamie B. Mitchell, applying for supervisory writs, 20th Judicial District Court, Parish of West Feliciana, No. 08-WFLN-070.
BEFORE: THERIOT, PENZATO, AND GREENE, JJ.
WRIT GRANTED.
The court, on its own motion, or upon receiving a report recommending revocation or other disposition from the conditional release program coordinator, shall immediately hold a hearing to consider the violations listed. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 658(B) (6). The writ application is devoid of any evidence of a hearing prior to the court's decision to recommit relator to the state mental institution. Accordingly, this matter is remanded to the district court for the sole purpose of holding a hearing in compliance with the applicable law, if it has not already done so. A copy of the hearing transcript and the district court's judgment on the probation revocation must be filed with this court by September 10, 2024.
