STATE v. TOOMEY (2021)

Writ application granted. See per curiam.

Granted. The district court erred in vacating defendant's guilty plea and sentences. The transcript of the defendant's guilty plea hearing shows that he was properly advised of his rights, confirmed that he understood and waived those rights, indicated that he understood his sentence, and set forth that he was satisfied with his representation by defense counsel. State ex rel. Jackson v. Henderson, 260 La. 90, 103, 255 So.2d 85, 90 (1971). In these circumstances, defendant does not demonstrate that he did not understand the consequences of his decision to plead guilty, or that he did not do so voluntarily. La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.2. Accordingly, the decision of the district court is reversed and this case is remanded for consideration of the defendant's remaining assignments of error.

Weimer, C.J., would deny. Hughes, J., would deny. Griffin, J., would deny.
