WASHINGTON On application of Alonzo T. Washington for MANDAMUS in No. 200,474 on the docket of the Twenty Sixth Judicial District, Parish of BOSSIER, Judge Michael Owens Craig. Counsel for: Pro se Alonzo T. Washington Counsel for: State of Louisiana John Schuyler Marvin Before STEPHENS, HUNTER, and MARCOTTE, JJ. WRIT DENIED. The applicant, Alonzo Washington, seeks a writ of mandamus ordering the trial court to rule on his notice of intent and request for a return date to file a writ application seeking supervisory review of the trial court’s December 7, 2021, ruling denying his applications for post-conviction relief. Washington alleges that he filed his notice and request for a return date in the trial court on or about April 3, 2023. In light of the deadline to seek post-conviction relief provided by La. C. Cr. P. art. 930.8, this Court does not require a pro se applicant to seek and obtain a return date from the trial court before filing a writ application seeking review of a ruling on a post-conviction relief application. Accordingly, this writ seeking mandamus is denied. Washington remains free to file a writ application compliant with U.R.C.A. 4-5(C), seeking supervisory review of the December 7, 2021, ruling. September 14 Shreveport, Louisiana, this ________ day of ________________________, 2023. ___________________ ___________________ September 14, 2023 FILED: _____________________________ _________________________________ DEPUTY CLERK ___________________
