IN RE EDWIN CODRINGTON

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE SCOTT U.
SCHLEGEL, DIVISION "F", NUMBER 95-6759

Panel composed of Judges Fredericka Homberg Wicker,
Robert A. Chaisson, and John J. Molaison, Jr.

WRIT GRANTED

The relator, Edwin Corrington, filed the instant application which seeks
mandamus relief. Specifically, the relator requests that the district court be
compelled to grant a return date within which he can file a writ application
challenging the court’s April 24, 2023 denial of his application for post-conviction
relief. The relator asserts that his Notice of Intent was timely filed into the official
record on May 8, 2023.

If Mr. Corrington does, in fact, have a timely filed Notice of Intent pending
in Twenty-Fourth Judicial District Court case number 95-6759, the trial court is
ordered to consider the motion and issue a ruling within five calendar days of this
writ disposition.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 18th day of October, 2023.
