COUNSEL FOR APPELLANT:
Chonquaro Green

Saunders, Judge

The Defendant was charged by bill of indictment with count one, aggravated

kidnapping, a violation of La.R.S. 14:44, district court docket number 12-K-3734-

D, and count two, aggravated rape, a violation of La.R.S. 14:42, district court

docket number 12-K-3670-C. The State moved to have the matters consolidated,

and the request was granted by the trial court. The charges were consolidated into

district court docket number 12-K-3670-C.

On July 25, 2013, the jury found the Defendant not guilty of aggravated

kidnapping, count one. The jury returned a verdict of guilty to the lesser included

offense of forcible rape, count two.

In March 2014, this court lodged the record from district court docket

number 12-K-3734-D consolidated with 12-K-3670-C assigning it appellate docket

number 14-335. On April 24, 2014, this court issued a rule to show cause why the

appeal, 14-335, should not be dismissed because district court docket numbers 12-

K-3670-C and 12-K-3734-D were consolidated into 12-K-3670-C. Additionally,

the Defendant was acquitted of the charge of aggravated kidnapping, originally

assigned district court docket number 12-K-3734-D. No response was received by

Defendant.

Accordingly, we hereby dismiss Defendant’s appeal.
