Opinion:
In re Rogers, Henry; — Plaintiff(s); applying for supervisory and/or remedial writs; Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court, No. 275-235.
Granted. The district court is ordered to rule on the merits of relator's post conviction application, or, in the alternative, appoint counsel and give relator another opportunity, with the assistance of an attorney, to state reasons for failure to raise post-conviction claims earlier, if dismissal on that basis is contemplated. See C.Cr.P. art. 930.7.
