Opinion:
APPEAL DISMISSED WITH ORDER: The district court did not follow the proper procedures set forth in La.C.Cr.P. arts. 924, et seq. in acting on defendant's application for post-conviction relief. It is not proper to grant an out-of-time appeal in an ex parte fashion. The district court is ordered to reconsider defendant's application for post-conviction relief in accord with La.C.Cr.P. arts. 924, et seq. See State v. Counterman, 475 So.2d 336 (La.1985).
