STATE OF LOUISIANA v. DELCOME EVANS IN RE DELCOME EVANS
APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE FORTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE J. STERLING SNOWDY, DIVISION "C", NUMBER 2015-CR-144.
Panel composed of Stephen J. Windhorst, John J. Molaison, Jr., and Scott U.Schlegel, Judges.
WRIT GRANTED; REMANDED
Relator, Delcome Evans, seeks mandamus relief that would order the trial court to rule upon his Motion to Request Documents in Anticipation of Filing an Application for Post-Conviction Relief (“the motion”) filed on July 19, 2023. Relator attached a copy of the motion to his writ application; however, we cannot verify if the application has been properly filed or ruled upon.
Accordingly, we provisionally grant relator's writ application and order the trial court to rule on the motion within 30 days of the date of this writ disposition, if it has not already done so, and provided that the motion was properly filed.
We further order the trial court to provide this court with a copy of its ruling referencing our case number above.
