        WRIT      DENIED.         The   failure       to    file       a    pretrial       motion            to
quash       waives     any    challenge       to   the      grand      jury.        See         La.     Code
Crim.       P.    arts.      535( C),   521( A), &          535( D).          Furthermore,               the

criminal court minutes show that the indictment was concurred by
at least nine of the grand jury members, indorsed " a true bill",
and    signed by the foreperson. Therefore, the district court did
not     err  by denying the motion.  No   contradictory hearing is
required.
