State of Louisiana v. Macqael Brown

Opinion

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2026 KW 0794

VERSUS

MACQAEL MARKEITH BROWN AUGUST 10, 2026

In Re: State of Louisiana, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. DC - 25- 00243.

BEFORE: WOLFE, STROMBERG, AND BALFOUR, JJ.

WRIT GRANTED. The district court' s ruling granting respondent' s motion to quash is reversed, the motion is denied, and this matter is remanded to the district court for further proceedings. Whether respondent was properly served with notice of the protective order is a question of fact that goes to the merits of the offense charged and exceeds the permissible scope of a

motion to quash. See State v. Faggin, 2014- 0326 ( La. 10/ 24/ 14), 150 So. 3d 298, 299 ( per curiam) . See e. g. State v. Marcelin, 2013- 0893 ( La. App. 4th Cir. 12/ 18/ 13), 131 So. 3d 427, 431- 32.
