In Re: Samuel Lee Hamilton, Jr., applying for supervisory
19th
writs, Judicial District Court, Parish of East
Baton Rouge, No. 09- 88- 0898
BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C. J., GUIDRY AND BURRIS,' JJ.
WRIT DENIED AS MOOT. The Clerk of Court of East Baton Rouge
Parish has no record of receiving a Petition for Writ of Habeas
Corpus ( allegedly filed on November 11, 2019). Relator should
file the motion with the clerk of court of the district court
before seeking relief from this court. Further, the record
reflects relator has been billed, tried, and convicted for the
charge at issue in his petition for a writ of habeas corpus.
Therefore, a request for release under La. Code Crim. P. art.
701( B) is moot. See State v. Varmall, 539 So. 2d 45 ( La. 1989)
