STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Edward WILLIAMS v. LOUISIANA STATE BOARD OF PAROLE.
    No. 55865.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    March 7, 1975.
   In re: Edward Williams applying for Writ of Mandamus and Habeas Corpus.

Writ denied. The showing made does not warrant the exercise of this Court’s supervisory jurisdiction. The ruling of the trial court is correct.

BARHAM and TATE, JJ.,

we concur. Institution of revocation proceeding was commenced prior to expiration of his parole term. La.R.S. IS :574.9, subd. C. We are doubtful that a parole may be revoked under La.R.S. 15:574.10 without notice prior to expiration of a parole term and deem advisable a legislative clarification, such as by providing a delay period following expiration of the parole term within which proceedings to revoke a parole (because of 15:574.10) may be instituted.

DIXON, J.,

concurs in the denial. 15:574.9 was correctly interpreted by the Board. However, the Board’s indication that the subsequent conviction made the matter “moot” under 15 :574.10 is in error.
