Background

Willie Pogue applied for supervisory writs arising from proceedings against the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections in the 19th Judicial District Court for East Baton Rouge Parish, case number 718419.

The district court entered judgment on February 27, 2024. According to the First Circuit’s order, no appeal was taken from that judgment.

The Court’s Holding

The Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit denied Pogue’s supervisory-writ application.

In its brief order, the court stated that the district court’s February 27, 2024 judgment was not appealed and is now final. The order did not provide additional analysis or describe the underlying claims.

Key Takeaways

  • The First Circuit denied Pogue’s application for supervisory writs.
  • No appeal was taken from the district court’s February 27, 2024 judgment.
  • The First Circuit stated that the district court judgment is now final.

Why It Matters

The order records a limited procedural disposition: denial of supervisory relief alongside the court’s statement that the unappealed district court judgment is final. Because the court supplied no further reasoning, the order should not be read as announcing a broader rule beyond those stated points.
