MARK WARNER NO. 24-K-385 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT HONORABLE JUDGE, 24TH JDC COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA October 01, 2024 Linda Wiseman First Deputy Clerk IN RE MARK WARNER APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE STEPHEN C. GREFER, DIVISION "J", NUMBER 24-1990 Panel composed of Judges Marc E. Johnson, Stephen J. Windhorst, and Scott U. Schlegel WRIT DENIED In this pro se writ application, relator seeks mandamus relief, ordering the trial court to rule upon his motion for bond reduction. The official record shows that relator’s motion for bond reduction was filed on July 26, 2024. On July 30, 2024, the trial court promptly signed an order setting a hearing date on relator’s pro se motion for September 18, 2024. On September 9, 2024, defendant filed a motion to enroll John Fuller as attorney of record and defense counsel filed several motions,1 which the trial court set for hearing on the same day as relator’s pro se motion for bond reduction. On September 18, 2024, defendant was present in court, defense counsel requested a continuance, and defendant’s 1 Defense counsel filed the following motions: (1) motion for preliminary examination; (2) motion to suppress evidence seized with a warrant; (3) motion to suppress evidence seized without a warrant; (3) motion for bill of particulars and discovery and inspection; (5) motion to suppress statement; and (6) motion to suppress identification. motions, including the motion for bond reduction, were reset for hearing on October 16, 2024. Considering that defendant’s motion for bond reduction is currently set for hearing on October 16, 2024, and according to the trial court record, was delayed on relator’s motion, this request for mandamus relief is without merit. Accordingly, this writ application is denied. Gretna, Louisiana, this 1st day of October, 2024. SJW MEJ SUS SUSAN M. CHEHARDY CURTIS B. PURSELL CHIEF JUDGE CLERK OF COURT SUSAN S.
