State ex rel. Broyard v. Lombard

Citations: 442 So. 2d 448; 1983 La. LEXIS 12179Docket: No. 83-KH-2258

Court: Supreme Court of Louisiana; November 17, 1983; Louisiana; State Supreme Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

Larry Anthony Broyard applied for supervisory and remedial writs, including a writ of mandamus, regarding his case in the Criminal District Court, specifically in cases Nos. 277-289 and 277-302, in the Parish of Orleans. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal, No. K 1465, granted the application. The trial court is mandated to provide Broyard with a transcript of his guilty plea. The decision reaffirms that the court's policy on supplying transcripts of guilty pleas remains unchanged despite the precedent set in State v. Bland, 419 So.2d 1227 (La.1982).
