Article 148-8 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Where the person under investigation intends to refer the matter to the Investigating Chamber pursuant to the provisions of Articles 140, third paragraph, 148, sixth paragraph, or 148-4, his request is made, in the forms provided for by articles 148-6 and 148-7, to the clerk of the relevant investigating chamber or to the head of the prison, who will ensure that it is forwarded.

Where the president of the investigating chamber finds that this court has been directly seised, on the basis of articles 140, 148, sixth paragraph, or 148-4, of an application for release from judicial supervision or for release that is manifestly inadmissible, he may decide, by a reasoned order that is not subject to appeal, that there is no need to rule on this application; in this case, the application and the order are placed in the case file.

Article 148-8

Lorsque la personne mise en examen entend saisir la chambre de l’instruction en application des dispositions des articles 140, troisième alinéa, 148, sixième alinéa, ou 148-4, sa demande est faite, dans les formes prévues par les articles 148-6 et 148-7, au greffier de la chambre de l’instruction compétente ou au chef de l’établissement pénitentiaire qui en assure la transmission.

Lorsque le président de la chambre de l’instruction constate que cette juridiction a été directement saisie, sur le fondement des articles 140,148, sixième alinéa, ou 148-4, d’une demande de mainlevée du contrôle judiciaire ou de mise en liberté manifestement irrecevable, il peut décider, par une ordonnance motivée non susceptible de voie de recours, qu’il n’y a pas lieu de statuer sur cette demande ; dans ce cas, la demande et l’ordonnance sont versées au dossier de la procédure.
