SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 24-CK-0972
STATE OF LOUISIANA
v.
C. S.
ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE JUVENILE
COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON
PER CURIAM:
Writ granted. We vacate the juvenile court’s ruling in part to the extent that
it “kept open” three misdemeanor delinquency charges. After conducting a
contradictory hearing in accordance with La.Ch.C. art. 836(A), the juvenile court
determined that the juvenile was incompetent. Therefore, we remand and order the
juvenile court to either dismiss the remainder of the petition in accordance with
Article 876 or to adjudicate the family of the child to be in need of services and
proceed to a disposition in accordance with Chapters 10 and 12 of Title VII of the
Louisiana Children’s Code, in accordance with La.Ch.C. art. 837(C).
