STATE OF LOUISIANA v. WILLIE CAULEY
In Re: Willie Cauley, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No. 601363 BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C.J., GUIDRY AND BURRIS, JJ.
Judge William J. Burris, retired, serving pro tempore by special appointment of the Louisiana Supreme Court. --------
WRIT GRANTED. The petition in this matter was filed on March 23, 2020. According to the St. Tammany Parish Clerk of Court's Office, on March 30, 2020, the district court directed the matter to be set for hearing. However, according to the clerk's office, this matter has not yet been heard and that office cannot provide this court with a date that it will be heard. Considering the above, and in accordance with the Louisiana Supreme Court's order issued April 6, 2020, deeming bond hearings as matters that should be handled expeditiously, the district court is ordered to rule on relator's "Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus/Bail Reduction/Habeas Corpus Ad Testificandum," filed March 23, 2020, on or before April 23, 2020.
