First Deputy Clerk

IN RE CHRIS A. LEPINE

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 21-4253

Panel composed of Judges Stephen J. Windhorst,
John J. Molaison, Jr., and Timothy S. Marcel

WRIT DENIED

In this pro se writ application, relator, Chris A. Lepine, seeks mandamus

relief, ordering the trial court to rule on a motion for a bond hearing filed on January

14, 2024. Pursuant to this court’s January 17, 2025 writ disposition instructing the

trial court to rule on relator’s motion for habeas corpus relief, a hearing is set for

February 3, 2025. Both the motion for habeas corpus relief and the motion to fix

bond seek the same relief, relator’s release on bond. Considering a hearing is

currently set to consider relator’s bond, we find no basis upon which to grant relator

relief. We therefore deny this writ application.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 4th day of February, 2025.
