STATE v. SANTIAGO

No. 2003-KA-0693.

853 So.2d 671 (2003)

STATE of Louisiana v. Ulysses A. SANTIAGO.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

July 23, 2003.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Eddie J. Jordan, Jr., District Attorney, Claire Adriana White, Assistant District Attorney, Orleans, LA, for Plaintiff/Appellant.

Pamela S. Moran, Louisiana Appellate Project, New Orleans, LA, for Defendant/Appellee.

(Court composed of Judge PATRICIA RIVET MURRAY, Judge JAMES F. McKAY, III, Judge DENNIS R. BAGNERIS, SR.).


PATRICIA RIVET MURRAY, Judge.

In this appeal by the State, the sole issue presented is whether the trial court erred in granting the motion to quash the bill of information filed by the defendant, Ulysses Santiago. Because we find under the facts of this case the fifteen-month delay in prosecution did not constitute a violation of Mr. Santiago's right to a speedy trial, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
