MARK PRIEST NO. 18-KH-489 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA, 24TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA August 30, 2018 Susan Buchholz First Deputy Clerk IN RE MARK PRIEST 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 ''D'', NUMBER 16-4724 Panel composed of Judges Fredericka Homberg Wicker, Jude G. Gravois, and John J. Molaison, Jr. WRIT GRANTED FOR LIMITED PURPOSE Relator, Mark Priest, filed the instant application for a writ of mandamus, which seeks to compel the district court to rule upon his pro se Motion For Appeal, filed on July 31, 2018. Our review of the official record in this case shows that the trial court denied relator’s pro se motion for appeal on August 14, 2018, upon finding that relator’s counseled motion for appeal was previously granted in open court on May 24, 2018. Thus relator’s instant application is moot. Out of an abundance of caution, and to ensure that relator has received the trial court’s August 14, 2018 ruling, the Clerk of Court for the 24th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Jefferson is directed to mail a copy to relator at his current address, listed as: Mark Priest, 733459 RLCC Cajun 3 C1 1630 Prison Road Cottonport, LA 71327 In all other respects, relief is denied. Gretna, Louisiana, this 30th day of August, 2018. JJM FHW JGG 18-KH-489 SUSAN M. CHEHARDY CHERYL Q. LANDRIEU CHIEF JUDGE CLERK OF COURT MARY E. LEGNON FREDERICKA H. WICKER CHIEF DEPUTY CLERK JUDE G.
