STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2025 KW 1212
VERSUS

CHIMEZIE J. CHIAMA DECEMBER 2, 2025
In Re: Chimezie J. Chiama, applying for supervisory writs, 21st

Judicial District Court, Parish of Livingston, No. 25-
TEMP-035222,

BEFORE : THERIOT, PENZATO, AND BALFOUR, JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. The prior supervisory writ application
was untimely filed and counsel failed to provide an explanation
for the delay. Additionally, counsel failed to include
documentation showing he timely requested a return date, the return
date set by the district court, and a timely request for an
extension of the return date. This court provided counsel an
opportunity to correct the rule violations contained in the prior
supervisory writ application. See State v. Chiama, 2025-1166 (La.
App. Ist Cir. 11/14/25), 2025 WL 3188031 (unpublished). In the
new writ application, counsel included a “Request for Writ
Extension” that was filed more than thirty days after the district
court’s July 28, 2025 ruling. Accordingly, counsel failed to
comply with Rules 4-2, 4-3, and 4-5(C) (11), by failing to include
documentation of a timely request for a return date and a timely
request for an extension of the return date. Counsel also failed
to comply with Rules 4-5(C)(5) and (9), by failing to include
specifications of error and the opposition or a statement that no
opposing written document was filed. Supplementation of this writ
application and/or an application for rehearing will not be
considered. See Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules
2-18.7 & 4-9,
