WRIT OF MANDAMUS GRANTED
In his writ application, relator, Pedro Monterroso, complains that the district court has failed to act on a motion for speedy trial allegedly filed in December of 2020. Accordingly, we grant relators request for mandamus relief and order the district court to expeditiously set relators motion for speedy trial for contradictory hearing in accordance with La. C.Cr.P. art. 701(F), 1
if the trial court has not already done so.
Gretna, Louisiana, this 22nd day of March, 2021.
