IN RE ADRIAN M. DUNN

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ST JAMES, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE KATHERINE TESS STROMBERG, DIVISION "C", NUMBER 00,3208

Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy, Fredericka Homberg Wicker, and Jude G. Gravois

WRIT GRANTED FOR A LIMITED PURPOSE

Relator, Adrian Dunn, seeks mandamus relief that would order the trial court to rule upon an application for post-conviction relief filed on or about March 22, 2021. Relator attached a copy of a uniform application for post-conviction relief to this writ application; however, we cannot verify if the application has been properly filed or ruled upon.

Accordingly, we grant relator’s writ application for a limited purpose to transfer the matter to the trial court. We hereby order the trial court to rule on relator’s 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 17th day of June, 2021.
