Summary

De'Anthony Williams, writ granted, motion to quash

What changed

The Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit granted defendant De'Anthony A'Shawn Williams's supervisory writ and ordered the 22nd Judicial District Court to consider and rule on his pending motion to quash by July 30, 2026. The defendant represents that the district court has failed to act on the motion, which was assigned for hearing on December 17, 2025.

This ruling requires the district court to issue a ruling on the motion to quash or demonstrate that it has already done so. Criminal defendants in St. Tammany Parish facing delayed rulings on pretrial motions may benefit from seeking similar supervisory relief. Defense counsel should track pending motions to quash and ensure district courts address them within reasonable timeframes.

What to do next

  1. Monitor for district court ruling on motion to quash
  2. Ensure compliance with July 30, 2026 deadline if representing defendant
