IN RE MARK WARNER

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE STEPHEN C.
GREFER, DIVISION "J", NUMBER 24-1990

Panel composed of Judges Marc E. Johnson,
Stephen J. Windhorst, and Scott U. Schlegel

WRIT DENIED

In this pro se writ application, relator seeks mandamus relief, ordering the trial

court to rule upon his motion for bond reduction.

The official record shows that relator’s motion for bond reduction was filed

on July 26, 2024. On July 30, 2024, the trial court promptly signed an order setting

a hearing date on relator’s pro se motion for September 18, 2024. On September 9,

2024, defendant filed a motion to enroll John Fuller as attorney of record and defense

counsel filed several motions,1 which the trial court set for hearing on the same day

as relator’s pro se motion for bond reduction. On September 18, 2024, defendant

was present in court, defense counsel requested a continuance, and defendant’s

1 Defense counsel filed the following motions: (1) motion for preliminary examination; (2) motion to
suppress evidence seized with a warrant; (3) motion to suppress evidence seized without a warrant; (3)
motion for bill of particulars and discovery and inspection; (5) motion to suppress statement; and (6) motion
to suppress identification.

motions, including the motion for bond reduction, were reset for hearing on October

16, 2024.

Considering that defendant’s motion for bond reduction is currently set for

hearing on October 16, 2024, and according to the trial court record, was delayed on

relator’s motion, this request for mandamus relief is without merit.

Accordingly, this writ application is denied.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 1st day of October, 2024.
