Keithrick MARTIN v. STATE of Arkansas

CR 97-153                                          ___ S.W.2d ___

                    Supreme Court of Arkansas
               Opinion delivered February 24, 1997


Appeal & error -- motion for stay denied. -- Where appellant's motion for
     stay of a retrial contained a statement of service of the
     motion, showing that it has been served on all parties to the
     proceeding but not showing that it had been served on the
     trial court as required by Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 6-1(c), the
     supreme court denied the motion without prejudice for failure
     to serve it upon the trial court.


     Motion for Stay; denied.
     McCullough Law Firm, by: R.S. McCullough, for appellant.
     No response.

     Per Curiam. 
     Keithrick Martin was charged with aggravated robbery and
capital felony murder.  He was convicted of aggravated robbery, but
a mistrial resulted on the murder charge.  He has sought a writ of
prohibition to prevent a retrial on the murder charge, contending
such a trial would place him twice in jeopardy.  He asks a stay of
the retrial on the murder charge while the request for prohibition
is before this Court.
     Mr. Martin's motion contains a statement of service of the
motion showing that it has been served on all parties to the
proceeding, but it does not show that it has been served on the
Trial Court as is required by Ark. Sup. Ct. Rule 6-1(c).  The
motion is denied without prejudice for failure to serve it upon the
Trial Court.
