KEITH BARROW
IN RE KEITH BARROW
APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE
STEPHEN D. ENRIGHT, JR., DIVISION "N", No. 01-6237
November 10, 2026
Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy,
Scott U. Schlegel, and Timothy S. Marcel
REHEARING DENIED
Relator, Keith Barrow, seeks supervisory review of a writ application that he
previously filed in this Court in State of Louisiana v. Barrow, 26-KH-478, on
October 8, 2026. He attaches a letter to the pending writ application that explains
he would like the pending writ application to be filed in place of the previous writ
application due to his counsel’s “errors of misprint of several words.” As noted by
relator, the current writ application is almost “word for word” similar to the writ
application filed in 26-KH-478.
On October 14, 2026, this Court denied the writ application filed in Case
No. 26-KH-478, finding that “[r]elator’s writ application is time-barred and
successive,” and also “successive and repetitive under La. C.Cr.P. art. 930.4.” See
State of Louisiana v. Barrow, 26-KH-478 (La. App. 5 Cir. 10/14/26) (unpublished
writ disposition).
As such, the pending writ application filed on October 26, 2026 is
essentially, verbatim, an application for rehearing of the writ application that
relator previously filed and this Court previously denied. Louisiana’s Uniform
Rules–Courts of Appeal, Rules 4-9 and 2-18.7, do not permit rehearing from a writ
denial.1
Therefore, given the procedural deficiencies of this application and in
accordance with the Uniform Rules–Courts of Appeal, Rule 4-9 and Rule 2-18.7,
this request for rehearing is denied.
Gretna, Louisiana, this 10th day of November, 2026.
