WEIMER, J., recused.

HUGHES, J., additionally concurs and assigns reasons.

Hughes, J., additionally concurs.

Proper venue for the review of an LPLRA proceeding is in the parish where the offenders prison is situated. See R.S. 15:1184(F) ; see also La. Dist. Ct. R. 60.1(C) & 60.3(A). Thus, the 19th JDC was not empowered here to grant petitioner the relief that he prayed for in his ARP petition. Petitioner is entitled to a hearing on the motion to set aside the dismissal for abandonment.
