SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 24-KH-1148
STATE OF LOUISIANA
v.
QUINT MIRE
ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE FIFTEENTH
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF VERMILION
PER CURIAM:
Writ granted. The court of appeal incorrectly found applicant’s original
claim pursuant to Brady v. Maryland , 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 1196, 10
L.Ed.2d 215 (1963) was exhausted on appeal. Because the court of appeal
remanded applicant’s claim(s) relating to the alleged loss or destruction of a
reenactment video for an evidentiary hearing, we grant this writ for the purpose of
remanding applicant’s original Brady claim for inclusion and further consideration
after an evidentiary hearing. See Giglio v. United States , 405 U.S. 150, 92 S.Ct.
763, 31 L.Ed.2d 104 (1972) (clarifying that the rule stated in Brady applies to
evidence undermining witness credibility); see also Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419,
441, 115 S.Ct. 1555, 1569, 131 L.Ed.2d 490 (1995) (materiality evaluation done
cumulatively, rather than individually).
We additionally remand applicant’s claims about counsel’s performance for
resolution after an evidentiary hearing. In all other respects, the writ is denied.
