IN RE LARRY DAVIS

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE RAYMOND S.
STEIB, JR., DIVISION "A", NUMBER 19-3252

Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy,
John J. Molaison, Jr., and Scott U. Schlegel

WRIT DENIED AS MOOT

The relator, Larry Davis, has filed a pro se writ application seeking a writ of

mandamus to compel the district court to provide him with a copy of the transcripts

from his criminal trial. While the instant application is deficient, we observe from

his prior writ application that on June 24, 2025, the trial court granted trial

counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel of record, granted the relator’s motion for

appeal, and appointed the Louisiana Appellate Project to represent the relator for

purposes of his appeal. Davis v. State, No. 25-KH-274, 2025 WL 1826057 (La.

App. 5 Cir. July 2, 2025). We also note that the record for Mr. Davis’s appeal was

lodged with this Court on August 29, 2025.

After Mr. Davis has received the NOTICE OF LODGING OF RECORD

from his appellate counsel, he will have 10 DAYS from the date that notice was

mailed to him by his attorney to file a written request to view the record on appeal

with this court. For this reason, we deny Mr. Davis’s writ application seeking

mandamus relief directed toward the district court as moot.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 25th day of September, 2025.
