IN RE MOZINE JOHNSON

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE JUNE B.
DARENSBURG, DIVISION "C", NUMBER 05-2244

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

WRIT DENIED

Relator, Mozine Johnson, claims the 24th Judicial District Court has not yet
acted on his Emergency Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus dated April 9, 2025.
However, our review of the court record shows that Relator’s writ was not filed at
the district court, and the application does not include proof of filing – the copy of
the emergency petition included with the application, signed on April 25, 2025, is
unstamped. Further, Relator’s application contains no proof the pleading was
mailed to the district court. See Richardson v. 24th Jud. Dist. Ct. Par. of Jefferson,
No. 24-KH-529, 2024 WL 4820774 (La. App. 5 Cir. Nov. 18, 2024), reh’g denied
(Dec. 20, 2024). Without verification of Relator’s assertion that he filed the
petition with the district court, we cannot grant mandamus relief.

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