MICHAEL R. RICKS v. JUDGE PATRICIA M. JOYCE; CRIMINAL/DOMESTIC COMMISSIONER 24TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT IN RE MICHAEL R. RICKS
APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE NANCY A. MILLER, DIVISION "I", NUMBER 24-3721
Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy, Fredericka Homberg Wicker, and John J. Molaison, Jr.
WRIT DENIED
In this pro se writ application filed on August 27, 2024, relator, Michael R. Ricks, seeks review of the Commissioner's July 25, 2024 denial of his "Motion to Amend the Motion for Release Without Bail Pending Trial."
As an initial matter, we note that relator's writ application fails to include the trial court ruling complained of, any pleading upon which a ruling was based, the pertinent court minutes, the indictment or bill of information, or a notice of intent and return date order, as required by Uniform Rules-Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-5(C).
Nonetheless, our review of the record indicates that on July 30, 2024, in response to the Commissioner's July 25, 2024 denial of relator's motion, relator filed a motion to reconsider his motion for release without bail pending trial. The record further indicates that a pre-trial conference was scheduled for yesterday, August 28, 2024, to address the merits of relator's motion to reconsider. Therefore, we find that relator's writ application is not ripe for this Court's supervisory review. Accordingly, relator's writ application is denied.
