COREY THOMAS NO. 25-KH-37 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA

February 03, 2025 Linda Wiseman First Deputy Clerk

IN RE COREY THOMAS APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE STEPHEN C.

GREFER, DIVISION "J", NUMBER 14-6558

Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy, Stephen J. Windhorst, and John J. Molaison, Jr.

WRIT DENIED The relator, Corey Thomas, filed the instant pro se pleading, captioned as a motion to traverse, which appears to seek a review of the trial court’s October 23, 2024 denial of the motion to traverse filed in the trial court. The relator has also attached the trial court’s August 19, 2024 denial of his claim that his sentence is illegal.

The relator’s application does not contain a notice of intent as required by Uniform Rules, Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-2, and it does not show that a return date was set by the trial court, as required by Uniform Rules, Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-3. Also, the writ application is untimely under Uniform Rules, Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-3; the defendant filed the application more than 30 days from the October 23, 2024 ruling, as shown by the January 25, 2025 postmark on this filing.

For the preceding reasons, we deny the relator’s writ application based on the showing made.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 3rd day of February, 2025.
