Head Matter:
STATE ex rel. James PORTER v. John WHITLEY, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
No. 92-KH-2595.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Sept. 24, 1993.

Opinion:
In re Porter, James; — Plaintiff(s); applying for supervisory and/or remedial writs; Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court, Div. "B", No. 271-700.
Granted. The district court is ordered to grant relator an out-of-time appeal and appoint counsel to handle the appeal. See Lofton v. Whitley, 905 F.2d 885 (5th Cir.1990). If appointed counsel, after review of the record, finds no basis for assigning error on appeal, he or she may follow the procedure outlined in State v. Benjamin, 573 So.2d 528 (La.App. 4th Cir.1990).
HALL, J., not on panel.
