In    Re:          Todd        William      Green,        applying         for     supervisory  writs,

                   21st        Judicial          District      Court,       Parish    of   Livingston,
                   No.    23- FELN- 046190.

BEFORE:            GUIDRY,       C. J.,     CHUTZ AND         LANIER,      JJ.

        WRIT        DENIED.          The         district          court     may      provide              for      a

defendant' s             appearance         at    the     arraignment        and     the     entry         of    his
plea        by    way     of     simultaneous           transmission            through       audio- visual

electronic          equipment.            La.    Code     Crim.     P.   art.     551( B).     The         records
of    the        Livingston        Parish         Office      of   the     Clerk     of      Court     reflect

that    on       March     16,    2023,         relator    appeared        with    counsel      before           the
court       via     audio/ video           telecommunication               and    entered         a    plea        of

not    guilty
           to the charges.    Accordingly, the district court did
not
    err by denying relator' s motion to quash.   Furthermore, the
 Motion for a 701- B hearing"  appears to be filed in this court
in    the    first        instance.             Relator    should        first    seek       relief        in    the
district          court.
