EDDIE RICHARDS NO. 25-KH-382 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT 24TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA

September 08, 2025 Linda Tran First Deputy Clerk

IN RE EDDIE RICHARDS APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE DONALD L. FORET, DIVISION "H", NUMBER 21-1474

Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy, Fredericka Homberg Wicker, and Stephen J. Windhorst

WRIT DENIED Relator’s application for a Writ of Mandamus is hereby denied as moot.

Relator seeks mandamus relief from this Court instructing the district court to rule on his Emergency Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus dated March 3, 2025 and filed on March 17, 2025. Our review of the record indicates that the district court has, in fact, ruled on Relator’s petition.

The district court denied Relator’s petition on March 21, 2025, and the service return shows that prison authorities received a copy of that ruling on April 9, 2025. (See attached March 21, 2025 ruling). Accordingly, Relator’s application to this Court is denied as moot.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 8th day of September, 2025.
