IN RE CHRIS 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 Jude G. Gravois,
Marc E. Johnson, and Scott U. Schlegel

WRIT DENIED

In this pro se writ application, relator, Chris Lepine, seeks this Court’s
supervisory review of the trial court’s alleged illegal action resulting in
“unlawfully jailing an indigent base[d] upon an illegal order of restitution.”
Relator argues specifically that he was ordered to pay the full amount of restitution
when there were two other defendants who also caused the victim’s loss. Relator
filed this writ application prior to the trial court’s ruling on his restitution hearing
on August 7, 2025. The minute entry from the restitution hearing is attached to
this disposition. Therefore, there are no issues presented in this writ application for
this Court to review. Relator may seek supervisory review of the trial court’s
August 7, 2025 ruling within the time delays allowed by law.

Accordingly, this writ application is denied.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 11th day of August, 2025.
