STATE OF LOUISIANA, EX-REL. TAVIS JOSEPH v. THE 24TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA
Susan Buchholz First Deputy Clerk IN RE STATE OF LOUISIANA, EX-REL. TAVIS JOSEPH APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE CORNELIUS E. REGAN, DIVISION "B", NUMBER 13-4308 Panel composed of Judges Stephen J. Windhorst, Hans J. Liljeberg, and Timothy S. Marcel, Pro Tempore
WRIT GRANTED FOR A LIMITED PURPOSE
Relator seeks a writ of mandamus directing the district court to afford him judicial review of his application for post-conviction relief filed on January 25, 2018. The district court rendered judgment on May 9, 2018, denying relator's application for post-conviction relief. While the relief relator requested must be denied due to the district court's previous order of May 9, 2018, the record does not contain a service return indicating that relator was served with the order. As it appears relator did not receive notice under La. C.Cr.P. art. 930.1, we grant relator's writ application for the limited purpose of directing the district court clerk to properly serve a copy of the May 9, 2018 judgment on relator at the return address provided on his most recent writ application: "Camp-D; Raven-3-L-#8, LA State Prison, Angola, LA 70712."
Gretna, Louisiana, this 6th day of August, 2019.
