SHECOREY YOUNG NO. 25-K-416

VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT

DONALD A. ROWAN, JR. COURT OF APPEAL

STATE OF LOUISIANA

September 15, 2025

Susan Buchholz
Chief Deputy Clerk

IN RE SHECOREY YOUNG

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE DONALD A.
ROWAN, JR., DIVISION "L", NUMBER 16-5624

Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy,
Fredericka Homberg Wicker, and Jude G. Gravois

MANDAMUS DENIED AS MOOT

Relator, Shecorey Young, filed a Petition for Mandamus in this Court seeking an

Order to the district court to review his Motion to Sever, which the district court appears

to have received and filed into the record on July 24, 2025. The record further indicates

that on July 25, 2025, Judge Rowan signed an Order to sever defendant’s case from his

co-defendants. It is not evident from the record, however, that the 24th Judicial District

Court Clerk recorded this action or that defendant received notice of the court’s ruling on

his Motion to Sever.

Because the district court has ruled upon relator’s motion to sever by signing the

Order attached thereto and has granted the relief he requested, we deny relator’s petition

for mandamus as moot.

We further direct our Clerk’s Office to include a copy of the district court’s Order

with this disposition.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 15th day of September, 2025.
