STATE of Louisiana v. Billy Edward DYE.
    No. 85-OK-1482.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Oct. 4, 1985.
   CALOGERO and LEMMON, JJ.,

concur. Normally the trial court should entertain post-conviction habeas for ineffective assistance of counsel and requests for out-of-time appeal. State v. Counterman, 475 So.2d 336 (La.1985). This relator is so clearly entitled to relief, an out of time appeal, that we concur in this short-cut procedure.

DIXON, C.J.,

concurs. An adequate showing has been made that the delay in taking the appeal was not the fault of defendant but of his appointed counsel.
