STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2023 KW 0686

VERSUS

GARY DEANDRE HANSOMS AUGUST 4, 2023

In Re: Gary Deandre Hansome, for
applying supervisory writs,
22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany,
No. 4286- F- 2022.

BEFORE: McCLENDON, HESTER, AND MILLER, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED. The trial court' s ruling limiting the
priority list to only those cases handled by the public
defender' s office is reversed. The priority list should indicate
the order in which the cases to be
are called for trial,
including both cases in which a defendant is represented by
appointed counsel, and cases in which a defendant is represented
by private counsel. " Since adequate notice is a fundamental
element of due process . . . the criminal docket for a

particular day must indicate the order in which cases are to be
called for trial." State v. Simpson, 551 So. 2d 1303, 1305 ( La.
1989); see also State v. Tanner, 2021- 00698 ( La. 5/ 23/ 21), 316
So. 3d 826. Accordingly, this matter is remanded to the trial

court for further proceedings consistent with this ruling.
