STATE of Louisiana v. Thomas FAYARD.
    No. 87-KP-0232.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 20, 1987.
   In re Fayard, Thomas; Applying for Writs of Certiorari, Review, Mandamus and Prohibition, to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number K-7031; Parish of Orleans Criminal District Court Div. “I” Number 243-941.

Granted and remanded to the district court to conduct an evidentiary hearing on the question of whether the 1975 guilty plea was voluntarily and intelligently entered by the relator. State v. Warren, 402 So.2d 662 (La.1981); State v. Cusher, 400 So.2d 601 (La.1981).

CALOGERO, J.,

additionally concurs,

and LEMMON, J., concurs.

Relator is entitled to this action because he is, or may be suffering collateral consequences from the 1975 conviction. State ex rel Becnel v. Blackburn, 410 So.2d 1015 (La.1982). On the other hand even should relator be successful with his collateral attack on the 1975 conviction it will likely be of no help to him in attacking his more recent firearm conviction. See Lewis v. United States, 445 U.S. 55, 100 S.Ct. 915, 63 L.Ed.2d 198 (1980) and State v. Williams, 392 So.2d 448 (La.1981).
