NOT DESIGNATED FOR PUBLICATION Brian S. Lestage, Beauregard Clerk of Co In Proper Person P. O. Box 100 DeRidder LA 70634-0100 Judgment on rehearing rendered and mailed to all parties or counsel of record on April 1, 2026

REHEARING ACTION: April 1, 2026 Docket Number: 26 00153-CW THOMAS A. MCCARTNEY VERSUS BRIAN S. LESTAGE Writ Application from Beauregard Parish Case No. C-20240145 BEFORE JUDGES: Hon. Candyce G. Perret Hon. Jonathan W. Perry Hon. Wilbur L. Stiles As counsel of record in the captioned case, you are hereby notified that the ruling on the application for rehearing filed by Brian S. Lestage, Beauregard Clerk of Court is: MOTION FOR REHEARING GRANTED IN PART. We grant rehearing in this matter for the sole purpose of clarifying our prior ruling, to any extent necessary. Nothing in our prior ruling affected McCartney's pauper status, which had previously been revoked and was not before this court.

Accordingly, he was required to pay whatever fees were associated with the specific filings at issue. For thoroughness, we clarify that our prior order to the Clerk of Court required him to accept and file the documents at issue only if payment for those documents was also submitted at the time the documents were attempted to be filed.
