IN RE MICHAEL R. RICKS

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE NANCY A. MILLER,
DIVISION "I", NUMBER 24-3721

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

WRIT DENIED

In this pro se writ application filed on July 26, 2024, relator, Michael R.
Ricks, seeks mandamus relief to order the trial court to consider his “Motion to
Amend the Motion for Release Without Bail Pending Trial”.

Our review of the official record indicates that on July 23, 2024, the
Commissioner set a hearing on July 25, 2024 on a “Motion to Amend the Motion
for Release Without Bail Pending Trial” filed by relator in Case No. 24-3721. On
July 25, 2024: the commissioner set a pretrial conference on August 28, 2024,
denied the “701 motion”. and continued without date relator’s motion for bond
reduction. Defendant has subsequently also filed a “Motion to Reconsider the
Motion for Release Without Bail Pending Trial”. Thus, the motion has already
been ruled upon.

Accordingly, this writ application is denied.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 20th day of August, 2024.
