STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 25-KH-439 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT EDDIE THOMAS COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA

October 09, 2025 Linda Tran First Deputy Clerk

IN RE EDDIE THOMAS APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE SHAYNA BEEVERS MORVANT, DIVISION "M", NUMBER 14-6486

Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy, Marc E. Johnson, and Stephen J. Windhorst

WRIT DENIED In this pro se writ application, relator, Eddie Thomas, seeks review of the trial court’s May 19, 2025 ruling denying his motion to correct illegal sentence.

Upon review, we find relator’s application is deficient. Relator failed to include a copy of (1) any pleading or motion filed in the trial court; (2) an opposition, if any, to the motion; (3) the judgment, order, or ruling of which relator seeks review; (4) a minute entry; (5) a notice of intent and return date; or (6) the bill of information or indictment. La. U.R.C.A., Rules 4-2, 4-3, and 4-5.

Further, under La. U.R.C.A., Rule 4-3, relator was required to file his writ application within thirty days of the ruling at issue. On September 22, 2025, relator’s writ application, signed and dated September 17, 2025, was stamped as filed with this court, more than thirty days from the trial court’s May 19, 2025 ruling. Because relator’s writ application was not filed within thirty days of the trial court’s ruling it is untimely.

Accordingly, this writ application is denied.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 9th day of October, 2025.
