State v. Ostarly - Writ Granted, District Court Ordered to Rule on Postconviction Relief
Summary
The Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit, granted a supervisory writ in State v. Ostarly, docket 2026 KW 0083, ordering the 22nd Judicial District Court in St. Tammany Parish to rule on the defendant's remaining application for postconviction relief claims. The district court must act by May 22, 2026 and file its ruling with the appellate court by May 29, 2026.
“If relator's representation is correct, the district court is ordered to act on the claims, if it has not already done so, on or before May 22, 2026 and to file a copy of its ruling with this court on or before May 29, 2026.”
What changed
The court granted the relator's supervisory writ, finding that the district court had failed to act on his remaining postconviction relief claims. The appellate court ordered the district court to issue a ruling by May 22, 2026, and to file a copy of its ruling with the appellate court by May 29, 2026.
Postconviction relief applicants in Louisiana should be aware that supervisory writs remain available where district courts fail to rule on pending applications within a reasonable time. Courts subject to appellate supervision should prioritize ruling on outstanding postconviction matters to avoid similar writ actions.
