STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 24-KH-366 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT MAURICE HONOR COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA

August 21, 2024 Linda Wiseman First Deputy Clerk

IN RE MAURICE HONOR APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-THIRD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ST JAMES, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE JESSIE M. LEBLANC, DIVISION "D", NUMBER 7361

Panel composed of Judges Marc E. Johnson, Scott U. Schlegel, and Timothy S. Marcel

WRIT GRANTED In this pro se writ application filed on August 12, 2024, relator, Maurice Honor, seeks mandamus relief to order the district court to rule on his Second or Subsequent Application for Post-Conviction Relief.

Our review of the official record indicates that relator filed his Second or Subsequent Application for Post-Conviction Relief on April 9, 2024, in case number 16-7361. However, there is no indication in the official record that the district court has ruled on relator’s application for post-conviction relief to date.

Accordingly, we grant relator’s writ of mandamus for the limited purpose of ordering the district court to rule on relator’s Second or Subsequent Application for Post-Conviction Relief within thirty days of this writ disposition, if it has not already done so. We further order the district court to provide this Court with a copy of its ruling.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 21st day of August, 2024.
