IN RE RANDELL MASON

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE R. CHRISTOPHER
COX, III, DIVISION "B", NUMBER 16-3898

Panel composed of Judges Robert A. Chaisson,
Stephen J. Windhorst, and Scott U. Schlegel

WRIT DENIED IN PART; GRANTED IN PART

Relator, Randell Mason, filed this application for writ of mandamus and/or

supervisory writs, asking this court to compel the trial court to rule upon his notice

of intent to appeal or seek supervisory writs of the trial court’s denial of his motion

to correct illegal sentence.

As indicated by the attached order, the trial court signed relator’s notice of

intent on October 24, 2023 and set a return date of November 27, 2023. As a result,

the present writ application is moot.

Because the time period for relator to file his writ application on the denial of

his motion to correct illegal sentence has passed, we grant this writ in part to extend

the time for filing a writ application on the motion to correct illegal sentence until

December 30, 2023.

See, Anderson v. 24th Judicial District Court, 10-34 (La. App. 5 Cir. 2/2/10)

(unpublished writ disposition).

Gretna, Louisiana, this 1st day of December, 2023.
