STATE OF LOUISIANA

COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2023 KW 0623

VERSUS

TODD WILLIAM GREEN SEPTEMBER 25, 2023

In Re: Todd William Green, applying for supervisory writs,

21st Judicial District Court, Parish of Livingston,
No. 23- FELN- 046190.

BEFORE: GUIDRY, C. J., CHUTZ AND LANIER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. The district court may provide for a

defendant' s appearance at the arraignment and the entry of his
plea by way of simultaneous transmission through audio- visual

electronic equipment. La. Code Crim. P. art. 551( B). The records
of the Livingston Parish Office of the Clerk of Court reflect

that on March 16, 2023, relator appeared with counsel before the
court via audio/ video telecommunication and entered a plea of

not guilty
to the charges. Accordingly, the district court did
not
err by denying relator' s motion to quash. Furthermore, the
Motion for a 701- B hearing" appears to be filed in this court
in the first instance. Relator should first seek relief in the
district court.
