Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

Opinion:
ORDER TO DISMISS
On June 27,1983 the Trial Judge granted the State until July 8 to file this writ application. On July 13 the State orally moved and was granted an extension.
Although the trial court may grant an extension under Rule 4-3, it may not do so after the original time for applying has expired. See State v. Sutton, 374 So.2d 1218 (La.1979); State v. Mandino, 352 So.2d 233 (La.1977).
Further, we find relator's application is without merit but we dismiss for the foregoing reason.
THEREFORE, this writ application is dismissed.
