STATE v. SHANKLIN

No. 2006-KA-1151.

953 So.2d 84 (2007)

STATE of Louisiana v. Devairr SHANKLIN, Jr.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

February 14, 2007.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Eddie J. Jordan, Jr., District Attorney—Parish of Orleans, David S. Pipes, Assistant District Attorney—Parish of Orleans, New Orleans, LA, for Plaintiff/Appellant.

Court composed of Chief Judge JOAN BERNARD ARMSTRONG, Judge PATRICIA RIVET MURRAY, Judge MICHAEL E. KIRBY.


PATRICIA RIVET MURRAY, Judge.

This is a criminal case. The State is the appellant. The sole issue presented is whether the district court erred in granting the motion to quash the bill of information filed by the defendant, Devairr Shanklin, Jr., after the State entered a nolle prosequi on the day of trial and five months later reinstated the charge. Answering that question in the affirmative, we reverse and remand.
