COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT
STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2025 KW 0789
VERSUS
JAMES BISHOP OCTOBER 6, 2025
In Re: James Bishop, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd
Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No.
611058.
BEFORE : McCLENDON, C.J., GREENE AND STROMBERG, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. Relator’s claim that the trial court erred in
failing to grant a mistrial following the expert’s testimony in
this matter was addressed by this court on appeal. Furthermore,
when the substantive issue that an attorney has not raised has no
merit, then the claim the attorney was ineffective for failing to
raise the issue also has no merit. State v. Williams, 613 So.2d
252, 256-257 (La. App. lst Cir. 1992). The district court did not
abuse its discretion in summarily denying the application for
postconviction relief. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 929(A).
