IN RE CLARENCE BOLDEN

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE FORTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH
OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE VERCELL FIFFIE,
DIVISION "A", NUMBER 91,63

Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois,
Marc E. Johnson, and Scott U. Schlegel

WRIT GRANTED FOR LIMITED PURPOSE

Relator, Clarence Bolden, seeks mandamus relief that would order the trial
court to set a hearing on a pleading filed earlier this year. He attached two letters—
both concerning the status of a detainer being removed from his prison record—to
his writ application. A review of the official record in district court case number
1991-CR-63 shows that Relator filed a motion to quash on February 5, 2024, seeking
the removal of a detainer. The record does not reflect that the motion has been ruled
upon by the trial court.

Accordingly, the writ application is granted for the limited purpose of
ordering the trial court to rule upon Relator’s February 5, 2024 motion to quash
within 30 days of this disposition, if it has not already done so, and to supply this
Court with a copy of such ruling.

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