Opinion

Writ application denied.

In my view, the trial court abused its discretion in denying the States request for a continuance under the circumstances presented here, in which defense counsel failed to comply with Code of Criminal Procedure article 725 until shortly before trial. Accordingly, I would reverse the trial courts ruling, which denied the States motion to continue and remand the matter with instructions to afford the State a limited 30-day continuance. Crichton, J., would grant and assigns reasons.

McCallum, J., would grant.

Griffin, J., would grant.
