STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 25-K-51 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT CHARLES MCQUARTER III COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA

February 06, 2025 Linda Wiseman First Deputy Clerk

IN RE CHARLES MCQUARTER III APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE FORTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE J. STERLING SNOWDY, DIVISION "C", NUMBER 14,169

Panel composed of Judges Marc E. Johnson, Stephen J. Windhorst, and John J. Molaison, Jr.

WRIT DENIED The writ application is deficient under the Uniform Rules and Courts of Appeal Rules 4-2 and 4-3. Specifically, the relator has not included a notice of intent or evidence of a return date.

More importantly, the relator has failed to provide a ruling for our review, either in the form of a minute entry, written judgment, or a transcript of the trial court's oral judgment, as required by URCA Rule 4-5. We also do not have a copy of the original motion, the bill of information, or the State’s opposition. The argument of counsel is not evidence.

Because the relator has provided no basis for this Court to consider the merits of his writ application, we deny relief on the showing made.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 6th day of February, 2025.
