State of Louisiana v. Steven Stiles

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana affirmed the lower courts' denial of expungement for Steven Stiles, holding that his conviction was not eligible for set‑aside or expungement because the underlying offense is excluded from deferral under La.Cr.P. art. 893(E)(1)(b). The Court also noted that Stiles may seek expungement in the future under the ten‑year provision of art. 978(A)(2).
