STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 25-K-51

VERSUS FIFTH CIRCUIT

CHARLES MCQUARTER III COURT OF APPEAL

STATE OF LOUISIANA

Linda Wiseman
First Deputy Clerk

IN RE CHARLES MCQUARTER III

APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE FORTIETH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT,
PARISH OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE
J. STERLING SNOWDY, DIVISION "C", NUMBER 14,169

Panel composed of Judges Marc E. Johnson,
Stephen J. Windhorst, and John J. Molaison, Jr.

WRIT DENIED

The writ application is deficient under the Uniform Rules and Courts of
Appeal Rules 4-2 and 4-3. Specifically, the relator has not included a notice of
intent or evidence of a return date.

More importantly, the relator has failed to provide a ruling for our review,
either in the form of a minute entry, written judgment, or a transcript of the trial
court's oral judgment, as required by URCA Rule 4-5. We also do not have a copy
of the original motion, the bill of information, or the State’s opposition. The
argument of counsel is not evidence.

Because the relator has provided no basis for this Court to consider the
merits of his writ application, we deny relief on the showing made.

Gretna, Louisiana, this 6th day of February, 2025.
