IN RE OLLIE COLEMAN APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ST JAMES, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE STEVEN C. TUREAU, DIVISION "D", NUMBER 72,67

Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois, Marc E. Johnson, and Hans J. Liljeberg

WRIT GRANTED Relator, Ollie Coleman, seeks mandamus relief that would order the trial court to rule upon his application for post-conviction relief filed on or about January 5, 2021. Relator attached a copy of a uniform application for post-conviction relief to his writ application; however, we cannot verify if the application has been properly filed.

Accordingly, we grant Relator’s writ application and order the trial court to rule on the APCR within 30 days of the date of this writ disposition, if it has not already done so and provided that the application was properly filed. We further order the trial court to provide this Court with a copy of its ruling.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 19th day of March, 2021.
