STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 25-K-72 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT JERILYN MAGEE & ERIC ROGERS COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA

February 18, 2025 Morgan Naquin Deputy Clerk

IN RE JERILYN MAGEE AND ERIC ROGERS APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE STEPHEN D. ENRIGHT, JR., DIVISION "N", NUMBER 24-4704, 24-4705

Panel composed of Judges Marc E. Johnson, Stephen J. Windhorst, and John J. Molaison, Jr.

WRIT DENIED Relators/defendants, Jerilyn Magee and Eric Rogers, seek review of the trial court’s order setting this matter for trial on February 21, 2025.

A trial court has the “duty to require that criminal proceedings . . . be conducted with dignity and in an orderly and expeditious manner and to so control the proceedings that justice is done.” La. C.Cr.P art. 17; State v. Reimonenq, 19- (La. 10/22/19), 286 So.3d 412, 417. This authority includes the authority to set a case for trial. Reimonenq, 286 So.3d at 417. Here, counsel for relators concedes she initially agreed to the date but then she subsequently objected on the record because the State indicated it would file a written motion to continue. On the showing made, we do not find the trial court abused its discretion in setting the trial on February 21, 2025.1

1 As for the State’s written motion to continue the February 21, 2025 trial, there is no indication that the motion was set or ruled on by the trial court. Thus, there is nothing for this court to review at this time.

Accordingly, this writ application is denied.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 18th day of February, 2025.
