TUNYA HARRIS AND LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY v. KELVIN WELLS
In Re: Kelvin Wells, applying for supervisory writs, 23rd Judicial District Court, Parish of Ascension, No. 00102073.
BEFORE: KUHN, PETTIGREW AND WELCH, JJ.
WRIT DENIED.

JEW
Kuhn, J., concurs. Mr. Wells has been a party in over 100 appeals and writs filed in this Court. Many of the filings were confusing and appeared to be in conflict because some involved suits against Mr. Wells seeking enforcement of child support orders and payment of child support arrearages, while others involved suits filed by Mr. Wells, individually and on behalf of his minor children. Our review of these matters, however, reveals that Mr. Wells is being sued for child support arrearages for a child he fathered with Ms. Tunya Harris, while he filed suits on behalf of other children he shares with Ms. Kelda Wells.
The instant writ involves the on-going dispute seeking to collect child support from Mr. Wells. This application, like many others filed by Mr. Wells, exhibits a failure to comply with the requirements of the Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal. As to the trial court's rulings denying the motion to recuse and granting the motion to transfer the case, the trial court did not err in denying the motion for appeal. Review of those rulings is by supervisory jurisdiction and not by appeal. Insofar as relator seeks a writ of mandamus related to a motion for contempt or to compel sanctions and seeks review of a ruling denying appointed counsel, relator has not provided sufficient information to review these claims.
