    STATE of Louisiana
    v.
    James SIMMONS.

    No. 2011-KK-2130.

    Supreme Court of Louisiana.

    October 11, 2011.

    Granted. Although the Defendant did not make a jury waiver "no later than 45 days prior to trial," the State did not object and the case proceeded to trial, ending in a mistrial. The ruling of the trial court allowing the Defendant to revoke his irrevocable waiver of a jury trial is therefore reversed, and the case is remanded to the trial court for a bench trial.

    JOHNSON and WEIMER, JJ., would grant and docket.
