In Re:            Preston      G.    Demouchette,            Jr.,     applying        for    supervisory
                  writs,      19th        Judicial       District        Court,       Parish       of    East
                  Baton Rouge,            No.    734672.

BEFORE:           GUIDRY,      C.J., CHUTZ AND LANIER,                 JJ.

         WRIT      GRANTED          IN     PART    WITH        ORDER     AND      DENIED       IN       PART.
Relator,          Preston      G.        Demouchette,          Jr.,      included        in    his       writ
application a           letter dated July 25,                  2023    from the         district        court
clerk      advising         that     it    was    unable       to   process      his    pleadings         due
to   a    lack    of    funds,       noting       the    pauper     motion       was    denied      by    the
judge.       However,         the       clerk's     office      has    advised        that    the    pauper
motion       has       not     yet        been     acted       on   by     the       district        court.
Accordingly,            we     grant        this        writ    application             in    part       with
instructions           to    the    district       court       to   rule   on     the    pauper      motion
filed      by     relator,          Preston       G.     Demouchette,          Jr.,     on    or     before
October      25,    2023.          In     all    other    respects,        this      writ    application
is denied.
