SALVADOR “SAL” BROCATO III AND THE COMMITTEE TO
ELECT SAL BROCATO, INC
versus
MICHAEL JAY MARSIGLIA AND MICHAEL JAY MARSIGLIA
CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
IN RE MICHAEL JAY MARSIGLIA AND MICHAEL JAY MARSIGLIA CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE
APPLYING FOR SUPERVISORY WRIT FROM THE TWENTY-FOURTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, DIRECTED TO THE HONORABLE
DANYELLE M. TAYLOR, DIVISION "O", NUMBER 881-564
October 30, 2026
Panel composed of Judges Susan M. Chehardy,
Marc E. Johnson, and Stephen J. Windhorst
WRIT DENIED
Relators, Michael Jay Marsiglia and the Michael Jay Marsiglia Campaign
Committee, seek emergency review of the district court’s October 29, 2026
preliminary injunction that restricts political campaign advertising regarding
Salvador “Sal” Brocato III, who is Mr. Marsiglia’s opponent in the November 3,
2026 election for Jefferson Parish First Parish Court, Division A.
Today, in addition to seeking review in this Court, the official record shows
that relators also filed an Emergency Motion for New Trial in the district court,
seeking to vacate or vitiate the preliminary injunction orally granted on October
29, 2026. Because we have neither a signed judgment nor a transcript, and because
relators also have requested an emergency motion for a new trial, we decline to
exercise our supervisory jurisdiction at this time.
Gretna, Louisiana, this 30th day of October, 2026.
