ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE FOURTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF CALCASIEU
Denied. Relator shows no abuse of discretion in the district court's decision to deny his request to further supplement his application for post-conviction relief. See State ex rel. Duhon v. Whitley, 92-1740 (La. 9/2/94), 642 So.2d 1273 (district court has no discretion to decide whether to allow a post-conviction petitioner to amend or supplement a timely-filed application for post-conviction relief); cf. La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.4(E). Within 90 days of this order, the district court is ordered to rule on all of relator's now pending claims. See State v. Reeves, 15-1668 (La. 4/4/16), 188 So.3d 257.
