Opinion

DERRICK CHAIRS NO. 25-K-368 VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA JUDGE MILLER COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF LOUISIANA

August 20, 2025 Linda Tran First Deputy Clerk

IN RE DERRICK CHAIRS APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE NANCY A. MILLER, DIVISION "I", NUMBER 25-1201

Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy, Scott U. Schlegel, and Timothy S. Marcel

WRIT DENIED Relator, Derrick Chairs, filed a writ of mandamus asking this Court to order the district court to rule on his motion to quash the bill of information filed against him in the captioned matter. Relator contends that the motion was set for hearing on August 7, 2025. According to the record, relator appeared before the district court for a plea status hearing on August 4, 2025. The minute entry from that date indicates that defense counsel requested a continuance; the plea status hearing was continued to September 8, 2025; and the motions set on August 7, 2025, including the motion to quash, were continued to September 11, 2025. Because relator’s motion to quash is set for an upcoming hearing, we find that relator is not entitled to relief at this time. Accordingly, we deny this writ.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 20th day of August, 2025.
