Background

Cordell Collins applied for supervisory writs in a criminal matter pending in the 19th Judicial District Court for East Baton Rouge Parish, docket number 05-04-0462.

The Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit considered the application before Judges Wolfe, Stromberg, and Balfour. The brief opinion does not identify the issues Collins raised or provide additional facts about the underlying proceeding.

The Court’s Holding

The court denied Collins’s supervisory writ application.

The disposition states only “WRIT DENIED.” It expresses no analysis or reasons for the denial and does not identify the legal grounds supporting the result.

Key Takeaways

  • Collins’s request for supervisory-writ relief was denied.
  • The court issued the disposition without stated reasons or legal analysis.
  • The opinion does not describe Collins’s arguments or the underlying facts.

Why It Matters

The ruling leaves Collins without the supervisory relief requested from the First Circuit in this application. Because the court provided no explanation, the opinion offers no stated reasoning for attorneys to apply in other cases.
