STATE EX REL. KESTON MIMMITT NO. 21-KH-206 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT 24TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, FOR THE PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA May 04, 2021 Susan Buchholz First Deputy Clerk **CONFIDENTIAL** LSA-RS 46:1844(W) ATTORNEYS OF RECORD ONLY IN RE KESTON MIMMITT 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 18-546 Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy, Robert A. Chaisson, and Stephen J. Windhorst WRIT OF MANDAMUS GRANTED In his writ application requesting mandamus relief, relator, Keston Mimmitt, alleges that the district court has failed to act on his application for post-conviction relief filed in the district court which he allegedly mailed to the district court on December 7, 2020. Our review of the official court record reflects that relator’s application for post-conviction relief was filed in the district court on December 22, 2020, that the district court issued an order on January 12, 2021, for the State to file a response, and that the State filed its response on February 24, 2021. Since that time, it appears that no further action has been taken in this case. Accordingly, we grant relator’s request for mandamus relief and order the district court to rule upon relator’s application for post-conviction relief within fifteen days of this order, if it has not already done so. The district court is further ordered to provide a copy of its ruling to relator and to this Court. Gretna, Louisiana, this 4th day of May, 2021. RAC SMC SJW 21-KH-206 SUSAN M. CHEHARDY CURTIS B.
