IN RE SHANNON JOHNSON

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE LEE V. FAULKNER,
JR., DIVISION "P", NUMBER 22-5739

Panel composed of Judges Fredericka Homberg Wicker,
Marc E. Johnson, and Timothy S. Marcel

WRIT GRANTED FOR LIMITED PURPOSE

Relator, Shannon Johnson, filed a writ of mandamus asking this Court to
order the trial court to rule on his pro se Motion to Quash filed on December 3,
2024.

On December 9, 2024, the district court signed an order setting a hearing on
the motion to quash for January 8, 2025. However, the January 8, 2025, minute
entry does not indicate a specific ruling on the pro se motion to quash.

It appears from relator’s writ of mandamus and our review that the trial court
has not yet acted on the motion to quash. Therefore, we grant relator mandamus
relief for the limited purpose of directing the trial court to act on relator’s motion to
quash, if it has not already done so, within thirty days of this disposition. The trial
court should also furnish relator and this Court with a copy of the action taken on
the motion to quash.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 5th day of February, 2025.
