VERSUS

CHRISTOPHER GAGE FEBRUARY 1, 2021

In Re: Christopher Gage, applying for supervisory writs, 32nd
Judicial District Court, Parish of Terrebonne, No.
303, 250.

BEFORE: THERIOT, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. The instant writ application appears

to be untimely as counsel failed to include documentation of a

timely request for a return date, and the Order is not signed by
the respondent judge. See Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of

Appeal, Rules 4- 2, 4- 3, and 4- 5( C)( 11). The affidavit of

verification does not contain the respondent judge' s address and
phone number.
Relator also failed to comply with Rule 4- 5( C)( 9)
and ( 10), by failing to include a copy of any opposition or a
statement that no opposition was filed and the pertinent court

minutes. Moreover, although it is not a violation of the
Uniform Rules, note that counsel failed to
we
include a copy of
the relevant portions of relator' s trial transcript a
showing
request for jury polling was made. See City of Baton Rouge v.
Plain, 433 So. 2d 710 ( La.), cert. denied, 464 U. S. 896, 104
S. Ct. 246, 78 L. Ed. 2d 235 ( 1983). Supplementation of this writ
application and/ or an application for rehearing will not be
considered. See Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal,
Rules 2- 18. 7 & 4- 9. In the event counsel elects to file a new

application with this court, he may do so without the necessity
of obtaining a return date. The application shall be filed on
or before March 4, 2021, and must include the missing items
noted above and a copy of this ruling.
