IN RE GREGORY BRUMFIELD v. STATE OF LOUISIANA GREGORY BRUMFIELD
APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE R. CHRISTOPHER COX, III, DIVISION "B", NUMBER 21-4417
Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois, Marc E. Johnson, and John J. Molaison, Jr.
WRIT GRANTED WITH INSTRUCTIONS
In this pro se writ application, relator, Gregory Brumfield, seeks mandamus relief to compel the district court to rule on his "Motion to Suppress Evidence and Motion for Discovery." For the following reasons, we grant the writ with instructions.
Relator contends that he filed a motion to suppress evidence and a motion for discovery shortly after he was arraigned. Relator does not state the date these pro se motions were filed, nor does the writ application contain any documentation to show when these motions were filed. Regardless, we grant this writ application and order the trial court to rule on relator's motion to suppress evidence and motion for discovery within thirty days of the date of this ruling, if relator has in fact filed such motions and if the trial court has not yet ruled on such motions.
Further, if applicable, the trial court shall provide relator and this Court with copies of such rulings.
