STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 25-KM-397 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT KEVIN WISE COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA

September 29, 2025 Linda Tran First Deputy Clerk

ON APPLICATION FOR REHEARING Panel composed of Fredericka Homberg Wicker, John J. Molaison, Jr., and Timothy S. Marcel

DENIED WITH REASONS FHW JJM TSM WICKER, J.

This matter comes before the Court on Relator’s Application for Rehearing from this court’s August 29, 2025 denial of his Motion for Change of Venue, Transfer to the Louisiana Supreme Court and Request for Appeal, filed in this court on August 28, 2025 in relator’s application for post-conviction Relief, currently pending before this court. In his underlying application for post- conviction relief in State of Louisiana v. Kevin Wise, 25-KH-218, relator seeks review of trial court rulings in 24th Judicial District Court cases 12-632 and 12- 633. Venue of the supervisory review of the trial court’s denial of the underlying application for post-conviction relief properly lies before this court. As in his motion for rehearing Relator provides no independent legal or factual basis upon which to grant his motion for change of venue, rather reiterates the central focus of his currently pending Application for Post-Conviction Relief, this Application for Rehearing is denied.
