STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT
STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2025 KW 1138
VERSUS
RODERICK D. COLEMAN DECEMBER 30, 2025
In Re: Roderick D. Coleman, applying for supervisory writs,
19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton
Rouge, No. 12-08-0013.
BEFORE : LANIER, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The district court record shows that on January
8, 2009, the State dismissed the second degree murder charge in
docket number 12-08-0013. Thus, relator’s request for habeas
relief regarding 2008 KW 2375 is moot. Furthermore, a post-verdict
attack on the sufficiency of an indictment should be rejected
unless the indictment failed to give fair notice of the offense
charged or failed to set forth any identifiable offense. See State
v. Thibodeaux, 98-1673 (La. 9/8/99), 750 So.2d 916, 930, cert.
denied, 529 U.S. 1112, 120 S.Ct. 1969, 146 L.Ed.2d 800 (2000).
Additionally, in the event relator elects to seek review of the
district court’s ruling dismissing his application for
postconviction relief, filed in 2021 under docket number 02-13-
0950, the application shall be filed on or before February 27,
2026, and it should include all the necessary documents needed to
review his claims, and a copy of this ruling.
