STATE OF LOUISIANA v. BRYANT VAUGHN
In Re: Bryant Vaughn, applying for supervisory writs, Ascension Parish Court, Parish of Ascension, No. 577210. BEFORE: McCLENDON, WELCH, AND HOLDRIDGE, JJ.
WRIT NOT CONSIDERED. Counsel failed to include a copy of the photographs introduced by the State and considered by the court at trial. Therefore, this court cannot adequately review the trial court's judgment. 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); La. Code Crim. P. art. 912.1(C)(1). The writ application is not properly bound, and counsel failed to include the telephone numbers of opposing counsel and the judge in the affidavit. See Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-5(A) & (B). Counsel failed to comply with Uniform Rules 4-2 and 4-3, by failing to include documentation of a timely request for an extension of the original May 24, 2019 return date. Counsel also failed to comply with Rule 4-5(C)(3), (8), and (10), by failing to note the status of the case, and by failing to include a copy of the bill of information and the pertinent court minutes, if any. 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. In the event counsel elects to file a new application with this court, the application shall be filed on or before September 20, 2019. The application should include the missing items noted above, proof of a timely request for an extension of the original return date, and a copy of this ruling.
