Opinion

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 24-KH-512 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT CLARENCE BOLDEN COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA

November 21, 2024 Linda Wiseman First Deputy Clerk

IN RE CLARENCE BOLDEN APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE FORTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE VERCELL FIFFIE, DIVISION "A", NUMBER 91,63

Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois, Marc E. Johnson, and Scott U. Schlegel

WRIT GRANTED FOR LIMITED PURPOSE Relator, Clarence Bolden, seeks mandamus relief that would order the trial court to set a hearing on a pleading filed earlier this year. He attached two letters— both concerning the status of a detainer being removed from his prison record—to his writ application. A review of the official record in district court case number 1991-CR-63 shows that Relator filed a motion to quash on February 5, 2024, seeking the removal of a detainer. The record does not reflect that the motion has been ruled upon by the trial court.

Accordingly, the writ application is granted for the limited purpose of ordering the trial court to rule upon Relator’s February 5, 2024 motion to quash within 30 days of this disposition, if it has not already done so, and to supply this Court with a copy of such ruling.

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