In Re: Preston G. Demouchette, Jr., applying for supervisory
writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East
Baton Rouge, No. 734672.

BEFORE: GUIDRY, C.J., CHUTZ AND LANIER, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED IN PART WITH ORDER AND DENIED IN PART.
Relator, Preston G. Demouchette, Jr., included in his writ
application a letter dated July 25, 2023 from the district court
clerk advising that it was unable to process his pleadings due
to a lack of funds, noting the pauper motion was denied by the
judge. However, the clerk's office has advised that the pauper
motion has not yet been acted on by the district court.
Accordingly, we grant this writ application in part with
instructions to the district court to rule on the pauper motion
filed by relator, Preston G. Demouchette, Jr., on or before
October 25, 2023. In all other respects, this writ application
is denied.
