State of Louisiana v. Russell Housely

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2026 KW 0665

VERSUS

RUSSELL HOUSELY AUGUST 10, 2026

21st
In Re: Russell Housely, applying for supervisory writs,

Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Helena, No.
25575.

BEFORE: WOLFE, STROMBERG, AND BALFOUR, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. The record of the

St. Helena Parish Office of the Clerk of Court reflects that on
December 5, 2025, the district court acted on relator' s request

for copies of the bill of information and criminal court minutes.
Though the record shows that the guilty plea transcript was

processed on January 12, 2026, there is no record showing that the
transcript was forwarded to relator. Accordingly, the writ is
granted and the St. Helena Clerk' s Office is ordered to forward a
copy of the guilty plea transcript to relator on or before
September 1, 2026, if it has not already done so.
