IN RE DERRICK CHAIRS

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE NANCY A. MILLER,
DIVISION "I", NUMBER 25-1201

Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy,
Scott U. Schlegel, and Timothy S. Marcel

WRIT DENIED

Relator, Derrick Chairs, filed a writ of mandamus asking this Court to order
the district court to rule on his motion to quash the bill of information filed against
him in the captioned matter. Relator contends that the motion was set for hearing
on August 7, 2025. According to the record, relator appeared before the district
court for a plea status hearing on August 4, 2025. The minute entry from that date
indicates that defense counsel requested a continuance; the plea status hearing was
continued to September 8, 2025; and the motions set on August 7, 2025, including
the motion to quash, were continued to September 11, 2025. Because relator’s
motion to quash is set for an upcoming hearing, we find that relator is not entitled
to relief at this time. Accordingly, we deny this writ.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 20th day of August, 2025.
