State ex rel. Hegwood v. Blackburn
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided June 15, 1979 · Dixon, Grant, Hearing
373 So. 2d 522; 1979 La. LEXIS 6605 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State ex rel. Hegwood v. Blackburn

Opinion of the Court

In re Talmon Hegwood, Jr. applying for writ of certiorari. Parish of Terrebonne.

Writ denied. We treat this petition as an application for a writ of mandamus, which is moot because the district court has not acted to deny the habeas corpus application. As to the petitioner’s request that the court assist him in recovering money allegedly illegally seized from him, the petitioner should file in the district court a contradictory motion pursuant to La.R.S. 15:41.

DIXON, J., would grant an evidentiary hearing.
