Linda Tran First Deputy Clerk

IN RE CLARENCE O. GIBSON

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE R. CHRISTOPHER COX, III, DIVISION "B", NUMBER 07-6779

Panel composed of Judges Jude G. Gravois, Marc E. Johnson, and Scott U. Schlegel

WRIT DENIED

In this pro se writ application, relator, Clarence Gibson, appears to challenge his conviction for sexual battery, asserting that he is innocent of said charge and he was wrongfully convicted by a less than unanimous jury (10 out of 12). By way of background, following a jury trial, relator was found guilty of sexual battery, and on April 3, 2009, he was sentenced to twenty-five years imprisonment at hard labor. In 2010, relator’s conviction and sentence were upheld by this Court and the Louisiana Supreme Court. See State v. Gibson, 09-486 (La. App. 5 Cir. 3/9/10), 38 So.3d 373, writ denied, 10-802 (La. 11/5/10), 50 So.3d 814. In his writ application, relator does not reference or include any recent ruling by the trial court, and fails to provide a notice of intent requesting a return date, or an order setting a return date, as required by Uniform Rules–Courts of Appeal, Rules 4-2, 4- 3, and 4-5(C). Relator has presented nothing for this Court to review. Accordingly, on the showing made, this writ application is denied.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 14th day of August, 2025.
