¶1In re Ballom, Wayne; Applying for Supervisory and/or Remedial Writ; Parish of Orleans Criminal District Court Div. “I” *861Number 313-943; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, Number KW-8969.
¶2Prior report: La.App., 520 So.2d 476.
¶3Granted. The jurisdiction of the trial court was divested and that of the appellate court attached upon the entering of the order of appeal on Sept. 19, 1986. Thereafter the trial court had no jurisdiction to dismiss the previously taken appeal. La.C. Cr.P. art. 916; State v. Arbuthnot, 367 So.2d 296 (La.1979). The trial court should prepare the record for appeal, appoint counsel if previous appellate counsel has been relieved of the duty to represent relator, and lodge the record within 60 days of the date of this order.
¶4dissents from the order. However, the court’s order reinstating the appeal arguably aborts the plea bargain and leaves the prosecutor free to institute prosecution on the theft charge which the prosecutor agreed not to pursue.
