Background
Jeffery Jerome Fussell applied for supervisory writs concerning proceedings in the 22nd Judicial District Court for St. Tammany Parish, case number 109-263.
Fussell sought criminal-court minute entries. The appellate court noted that the clerk of court’s records showed he had previously been provided with his case record and had also been given the cost of producing the requested minute entries.
The Court’s Holding
The Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit, denied the supervisory writ application.
The court relied on the clerk’s record showing that Fussell had already received his case record and had been informed of the production cost for the criminal-court minute entries he requested.
Key Takeaways
- The court denied Fussell’s application for supervisory relief.
- The clerk’s records showed that Fussell had previously received his case record.
- Fussell had also been provided the cost of producing the requested criminal-court minute entries.
Why It Matters
The ruling shows that supervisory relief may be denied when the record indicates that a litigant has already received available case materials and has been told the cost required to produce additional requested records.
