STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 25-KH-339 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT CHRIS LEPINE COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA
August 11, 2025 Linda Tran First Deputy Clerk
IN RE CHRIS LEPINE APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE DONALD A.
ROWAN, JR., DIVISION "L", NUMBER 21-4253
Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois, Marc E. Johnson, and Scott U. Schlegel
WRIT DENIED In this pro se writ application, relator, Chris Lepine, seeks this Court’s supervisory review of the trial court’s alleged illegal action resulting in “unlawfully jailing an indigent base[d] upon an illegal order of restitution.”
Relator argues specifically that he was ordered to pay the full amount of restitution when there were two other defendants who also caused the victim’s loss. Relator filed this writ application prior to the trial court’s ruling on his restitution hearing on August 7, 2025. The minute entry from the restitution hearing is attached to this disposition. Therefore, there are no issues presented in this writ application for this Court to review. Relator may seek supervisory review of the trial court’s August 7, 2025 ruling within the time delays allowed by law.
Accordingly, this writ application is denied.
Gretna, Louisiana, this 11th day of August, 2025.
