Description:

Metairie, Louisiana criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with extortion and domestic abuse battery.

Defendant was charged with extortion in violation of La. R.S. 14:66 and domestic abuse battery in violation of La. R.S. 14:35.3 in August and September 2024, appears to request mandamus relief from this Court. Relator complains that the trial court has yet to hold a pretrial conference, and asks that this Court order the district court to consider his motions, once we confirm the motions "are still existence".

A review of the court record shows that a sanity commission has been appointed in Relator's case and a competency hearing is scheduled for November 20, 2024. Under La. C.Cr.P. art. 642, "there can be no further steps in the criminal prosecution" of Relator until the issue of his competency has been resolved. See Jefferson Parish v. LaBranche, 23-K-496 (La.App. 5 Cir. 11/8/23) (unpublished writ disposition). Therefore, this Court is unable to grant Relator's request for relief at this time. Id. Accordingly, the writ application is denied.
