IN RE COREY THOMAS

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE STEPHEN C.
GREFER, DIVISION "J", NUMBER 14-6558

Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy,
Stephen J. Windhorst, and John J. Molaison, Jr.

WRIT DENIED

The relator, Corey Thomas, filed the instant pro se pleading, captioned

as a motion to traverse, which appears to seek a review of the trial court’s

October 23, 2024 denial of the motion to traverse filed in the trial court. The

relator has also attached the trial court’s August 19, 2024 denial of his claim

that his sentence is illegal.

The relator’s application does not contain a notice of intent as required

by Uniform Rules, Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-2, and it does not show that a

return date was set by the trial court, as required by Uniform Rules, Courts of

Appeal, Rule 4-3. Also, the writ application is untimely under Uniform

Rules, Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-3; the defendant filed the application more

than 30 days from the October 23, 2024 ruling, as shown by the January 25,

2025 postmark on this filing.

For the preceding reasons, we deny the relator’s writ application based

on the showing made.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 3rd day of February, 2025.
