On considering ‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍petition of the relator in the above entitled and numbered cause, it appears that the trial court judge was correct in denying a preliminary hearing on the two ‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍misdemeanor charges which are now supported by bills of information. However, the charge of contributing to delinquency of a juvenile is a felony under Act 647 of 1968, ‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍and relator is entitled to a preliminary examination under that felony charge.

It is ordered that the Honorable Edward A. de la Houssaye, III, Judge of the Sixteenth Judicial ‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍District Court, Parish of St. Mary, grant relator’s motion for a preliminary examination on the felony charge of contributing to delinquency of juveniles and to forthwith hold such ‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‍examination in this cause bearing docket No. 73,602, or show cause to the contrary.
