IN RE MAURICE HONOR

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF ST JAMES, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE JESSIE M. LEBLANC,
DIVISION "D", NUMBER 7361

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

WRIT GRANTED

In this pro se writ application filed on August 12, 2024, relator,
Maurice Honor, seeks mandamus relief to order the district court to
rule on his Second or Subsequent Application for Post-Conviction
Relief.

Our review of the official record indicates that relator filed his
Second or Subsequent Application for Post-Conviction Relief on
April 9, 2024, in case number 16-7361. However, there is no
indication in the official record that the district court has ruled on
relator’s application for post-conviction relief to date.

Accordingly, we grant relator’s writ of mandamus for the
limited purpose of ordering the district court to rule on relator’s
Second or Subsequent Application for Post-Conviction Relief within
thirty days of this writ disposition, if it has not already done so. We
further order the district court to provide this Court with a copy of its
ruling.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 21st day of August, 2024.
