STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2025 KW 0402 VERSUS ERIC GROSS A/K/A LUQMAN AUGUST 18, 2025 SHABAZZ In Re: Bric Gross a/k/a Lugman Shabazz, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 09-97-0416.

BEFORE : McCLENDON, C.J., GREENE AND STROMBERG, JJ.

WRIT DENIED AS MOOT. It is well settled that a guilty plea, by its nature, admits factual guilt and relieves the state of the necessity to prove it by a contested trial. See State v. Crosby, 338 So.2d 584, 591 (La. 1976). By pleading guilty, relator waived his right to challenge the State’s case via a motion to quash.

Relator has finished serving the sentence in this matter.

Accordingly, this court declines to order a hearing, and relator’s request for mandamus relief on the motion to quash is moot.
