N SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE FIRST
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF CADDO
PE
R CURIAM:
T
he Nineteenth Judicial District Court erred previously when it directed
defendant to seek relief in the First Judicial District Court. See La.R.S. 15:571.15;
see also State v. Brooks, 53, 161 (La. App. 2 Cir. 8/8/19) (unpub’d) (finding that
the First Judicial District Court did not err in rejecting defendant’s claims because
venue is in East Baton Rouge Parish). We grant defendant’s application for the
sole purpose of transferring it to the Nineteenth Judicial District Court to consider
as an action contesting the computation of defendant’s sentence, his discharge date,
and his eligibility for parole.
