IN RE JUDICIAL DEFENDANTS

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE
ELIZABETH P. WOLFE, JUDGE AD HOC, DIVISION "A", NUMBER 814-743

Panel composed of Judges Robert A. Chaisson,
Hans J. Liljeberg, and John J. Molaison, Jr.

WRIT GRANTED FOR LIMITED PURPOSE

Relators seek supervisory review of the trial court’s March 8, 2022 Order

that granted respondent’s Ex Parte Expedited Motion to Stay Indefinitely All

Further Proceedings. Subsequent to the trial court’s March 8, 2022 Order, on

March 23, 2022, relators filed a Motion for New Trial, or in the alternative, Motion

to Set Aside the trial court’s March 8, 2022 Order granting the indefinite stay. 1

1
The official court record also reflects that two other groups of defendants in this litigation have filed separate
Motions for New Trial, or in the alternative, Motions to Set Aside relative to the trial court’s March 8, 2022 Order.

22-C-195

The official court record reflects that the trial court has not yet taken action to set

relators’ Motion for New Trial for hearing, or otherwise taken any action thereon

(or on the similar motions filed by the two other groups of defendants).

Considering relators’ outstanding Motion for a New Trial, or in the

alternative, Motion to Set Aside (as well as the similar motions filed by two other

groups of defendants), which are still pending in the trial court, we find this writ

application to be premature and therefore decline to exercise our supervisory

jurisdiction to consider the merits of relators’ application at this time. However,

we exercise our supervisory jurisdiction for the limited purpose of ordering the

trial court to set these three outstanding Motions for New Trial, or in the

alternative, Motions to Set Aside the March 8, 2022 Order, for a contradictory

hearing within thirty days of the date of this disposition.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 17th day of May, 2022.
