GERARD ANTHONY BELL

On Supervisory Writ to the 23rd Judicial District Court, Parish of Ascension

PER CURIAM
Writ granted. Because the defendant failed to first seek relief in the court of
appeal and did not establish “extraordinary circumstances” to bypass said review
pursuant to La. Sup. Ct. R. X, §5(b), this matter is transferred to the Louisiana Court
of Appeal, First Circuit, for consideration of defendant’s writ application.
