625 So. 2d 1051 (La. 1993)

Opinion

No. 93-KH-2503.

October 15, 1993.

In re Green, Thomas Jr.; — Plaintiff(s); applying for supervisory and/or remedial writ; Parish of St. Tammany, 22nd Judicial District Court, Div. "A", No. 176843; to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit, No. KW92 0529.


Granted. The district court is ordered to grant relator an out-of-time appeal and to appoint counsel to handle the appeal. See Lofton v. Whitley, 905 F.2d 885 (5th Cir. 1990). If appointed counsel, after review of the record, finds no basis for assigning error on appeal, he or she may follow the procedure outlined in State v. Benjamin, 573 So.2d 528 (La.App. 4th Cir. 1990).

HALL, J., not on panel.
