STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT
JOHN DOE NO. 2024 CW 0333

VERSUS

THE LOUISIANA BOARD OF JULY 16, 2024
ETHICS

In Re: The Louisiana Board of Ethics, applying for supervisory
writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East
Baton Rouge, No. 734769.

BEFORE: WOLFE, HESTER, AND MILLER, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. This writ application is
untimely. Rule 4-3 of the Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of
Appeal provides that the return date in civil cases shall not
exceed 30 days from the date of notice of judgment, as provided in
La. Code Civ. P. art. 1914. Although the notice of intent was
timely filed, the return date order set the return date "in
accordance with lawn. Notice of the judgment was mailed on
November 16, 2023, and therefore, the deadline for filing this
writ application was December 18, 2023. Rule 4-3 further provides
that a court can extend the time for filing the application upon
the filing of a motion for an extension of the return date filed
within the original or an extended return date period. While
relator filed a motion for extension of the return date with this
court on April 4, 2024 (2024 CM 0299), such motion was untimely
and was denied.

Supplementation of this writ application and/or an
application for rehearing will not be considered. Uniform Rules of
Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 2-18.7 & 4-9.
