State Of Louisiana v. Christopher Gage

STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2020 KW 1272 VERSUS CHRISTOPHER GAGE FEBRUARY 1, 2021 In Re: Christopher Gage, applying for supervisory writs, 32nd

Judicial District Court, Parish of Terrebonne, No. 303, 250.

BEFORE: THERIOT, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. The instant writ application appears to be untimely as counsel failed to include documentation of a timely request for a return date, and the Order is not signed by the respondent judge. See Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 4- 2, 4- 3, and 4- 5( C)( 11). The affidavit of verification does not contain the respondent judge' s address and phone number.

Relator also failed to comply with Rule 4- 5( C)( 9) and ( 10), by failing to include a copy of any opposition or a statement that no opposition was filed and the pertinent court minutes. Moreover, although it is not a violation of the Uniform Rules, note that counsel failed to we include a copy of the relevant portions of relator' s trial transcript a showing request for jury polling was made. See City of Baton Rouge v. Plain, 433 So. 2d 710 ( La.), cert. denied, 464 U. S. 896, 104 S. Ct. 246, 78 L. Ed. 2d 235 ( 1983). Supplementation of this writ application and/ or an application for rehearing will not be considered. See Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 2- 18. 7 & 4- 9. In the event counsel elects to file a new application with this court, he may do so without the necessity of obtaining a return date. The application shall be filed on or before March 4, 2021, and must include the missing items noted above and a copy of this ruling.
