Susan Buchholz
Chief Deputy Clerk

IN RE LARRY DAVIS

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE RAYMOND S.
STEIB, JR., DIVISION "A", NUMBER 19-3252

Panel composed of Judges Robert A. Chaisson,
Stephen J. Windhorst, and John J. Molaison, Jr.

WRIT OF MANDAMUS GRANTED

In his writ application requesting mandamus relief, relator contends that the

district court has failed to rule on pre-trial motions, including a motion to quash

and petitions for writ of habeas corpus, which he allegedly filed on July 21, 2022,

and June 24, 2022, in the Twenty-Fourth Judicial District Court, Case Number 19-

3252.

We first note that relator has failed to attach a copy of these motions to his

writ application. However, in the event these motions were properly filed, we

grant relator’s request for mandamus relief and direct the district court to rule on

these motions, if it has not already done so, within twenty days from the date of

this disposition and to furnish relator and this Court with a copy of the rulings.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 23rd day of January, 2023.
