Opinion

STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2026 KW 0132

VERSUS

CHARLES FAIR FEBRUARY 5, 2026

In Re: Charles Fair, applying for supervisory writs, 23rd Judicial District Court, Parish of Assumption, No. 24- 51.

BEFORE: THERIOT, BALFOUR, AND HAGGERTY,! JJ.

WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. Counsel failed to comply with the

affidavit and return date requirements of Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 4-3 and 4-5. Counsel failed to comply with Rules 4-5(C) (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10), by failing to include a copy of the ruling complained of, the judge’s reasons for judgment (if any), the motion at issue, the indictment, a statement that no written opposition was filed, and the pertinent court minutes. Moreover, although it is not a violation of the Uniform Rules, we note that counsel failed to include the relevant portions of the trial transcript and a copy of any exhibits

introduced at the proceedings. Therefore, this court cannot adequately review the ruling at issue herein. See City of Baton Rouge v. Plain, 433 So.2d 710 (La.), cert. denied, 464 U.S. 896, 104 S.Ct. 246, 78 L.Ed.2d 235 (1983). 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. Any future filing on this issue should include the entire contents of this writ application, the missing items noted above, and a copy of this ruling.
