ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON

Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Writ granted. The district court's grant of an out-of-time appeal and appointment of appellate counsel is vacated for failure to comply with State v. Counterman , 475 So.2d 336 (La. 1985) and La.C.Cr.P. arts. 924 - 930.7. The district court is directed to reconsider whether the applicant will be granted an out-of-time appeal after affording the State the opportunity to respond to the application. See La.C.Cr.P. art. 927(A). The matter is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this ruling.
