Judicial District Court, Parish of Lafourche, No.
619102.

BEFORE : McCLENDON, C.J., GREENE AND STROMBERG, JJ.

WRIT DENIED ON THE SHOWING MADE. Relator failed to include

failed to include with the motion for speedy trial an affidavit
executed by his counsel certifying that he and counsel are prepared
to proceed to trial within the applicable time delays. See La.
Code Crim. P. art. 701(D)(1). Thus, there is no documentation of

4/2/04), 878 So.2d 582, 593, writ denied, 2004-1105 (La. 10/8/04),

bill of information.) Supplementation of this writ application
and/or an application for rehearing will not be considered. See
