STATE OF LOUISIANA v. EDWIN CODRINGTON IN RE EDWIN CODRINGTON
APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE SCOTT U.SCHLEGEL, DIVISION "F", NUMBER 95-6759
Panel composed of Judges Fredericka Homberg Wicker, Robert A. Chaisson, and John J. Molaison, Jr.
The relator, Edwin Corrington, filed the instant application which seeks mandamus relief. Specifically, the relator requests that the district court be compelled to grant a return date within which he can file a writ application challenging the court's April 24, 2023 denial of his application for post-conviction relief. The relator asserts that his Notice of Intent was timely filed into the official record on May 8, 2023.
If Mr. Corrington does, in fact, have a timely filed Notice of Intent pending in Twenty-Fourth Judicial District Court case number 95-6759, the trial court is ordered to consider the motion and issue a ruling within five calendar days of this writ disposition.
