State ex rel. Jackson v. Sheriff of Caddo Parish
Louisiana Court of Appeal · Decided April 14, 1970 · Culpepper, Frugé, Hood, Miller, Savoy, Tate
236 So. 2d 93; 1970 La. App. LEXIS 5260 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State ex rel. Jackson v. Sheriff of Caddo Parish

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The relator, James Henry Jackson files a petition for supervisory relief arising out of his detention under criminal charges in Caddo Parish Jail. However, the Louisiana Courts of Appeal have neither appellate nor original jurisdiction to issue supervisory writs involving the question of confinements arising by reasons of criminal proceedings. State ex rel. Simien v. Sheriff of Calcasieu Parish, La., App. 3 Cir., 186 So.2d 669; State ex rel. Jones v. Sheriff of Calcasieu Parish, La., App. 3 Cir., 185 So.2d 80.

The relator’s application is therefore denied.

Writ denied.
