State Of Louisiana v. Andrew Wetzel

STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2021 KW 0143

VERSUS

ANDREW D. WETZEL MAY 10, 2021

In Re: Andrew D. Wetzel,
applying for supervisory writs, 22nd
Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No.
1077- F- 2021.

BEFORE: MCDONALD, HOLDRIDGE, AND PENZATO, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. The record of the St. Tammany Parish Clerk of
Court' s Office shows that on March S, 2021, the State filed a
bill of information charging relator with one count of simple

burglary, a felony in violation of La. R. S. 14: 62. Therefore,
relator' s request for mandamus relief pursuant to La. Code Crim.
P. art. 701( B) is moot. The record further shows that the
motion for speedy trial was filed on April 5, 2021, and relator
failed to include with his motion an affidavit from defense
counsel certifying that counsel and relator are prepared to
proceed to trial. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 701( D)( 1). Thus,

there has been no substantial delay in the district court acting
on relator' s motion for speedy trial or setting it for a

hearing.
