El-Mumit v. Fogg

In re El-Mumit, Abdullah Hakim a/k/a; Sparks, Thomas Jr.; applying for mandamus, certiorari, supervisory, remedial; Parish of Livingston, 21st Judicial District Court, Div. “A”, No. 48509.

Denied. On the showing made there does not appear to have been error in denial of relator’s motion for new trial without his having had an opportunity to subpoena and question his witnesses. Furthermore the method of hearing motions for a new trial is generally left to the discretion of the trial judge.
