STANLEY MOLETTE NO. 24-K-330

VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT

24TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT COURT OF APPEAL

STATE OF LOUISIANA

August 06, 2024

Linda Wiseman
First Deputy Clerk

IN RE STANLEY MOLETTE

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE JOSEPH A. MARINO,
III, DIVISION "D", NUMBER 24-1560, 24-3594

Panel composed of Judges Marc E. Johnson,
Scott U. Schlegel, and Timothy S. Marcel

WRIT DENIED

In this pro se writ application, relator, Stanley Molette filed a petition for
writ of mandamus requesting that this Court order the 24th Judicial District Court to
immediately set a hearing on the Motion for Release Without Bail Pending Trial
pursuant to La. C.Cr. P. art. 701 he filed on May 30, 2024. Review of the official
record shows that in both cases the motions were set for hearing on July 18, 2024
and were ruled upon. Specifically, the July 18, 2024 minute entry in Case #24-
3594 indicates that the trial court denied realtor’s 701 motion and transferred the
matter to Second Parish Court. The July 18, 2024 minute entry in Case #24-1560
indicates that the charges filed against relator were refused in open court and
relator was ordered released in that matter. Relator’s 701 motion was found moot.
Considering that relator’s writ application was postmarked July 13, 2024 and that
the official record shows that his motions have been subsequently ruled upon on
July 18, 2024, relator’s request for mandamus relief is moot. Accordingly, this
writ application is denied.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 6th day of August, 2024.
