    STATE of Louisiana v. Torbio SANTACRUZ
    No. 2019-KK-0328
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    May 6, 2019
    ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ORLEANS
   PER CURIAM:

Writ granted. We vacate the district court's ruling to the extent it ordered defendant to appear in court for periodic visits. After conducting a contradictory hearing in accordance with La.C.Cr.P. art. 648(B)(1), the district court determined that the incompetent defendant is unlikely in the foreseeable future to be capable of standing trial. Therefore, we order the district court to either order the defendant released or remanded to the custody of the Louisiana Department of Health, in accordance with La.C.Cr.P. art. 648(B)(3).
