Supreme Court of Louisiana

Theophilus Roland, Jr. v. Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections

May 9, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Louisiana affirmed the Court of Appeal’s reversal of the district court’s judgment reinstating Theophilus Roland’s commercial driver’s license, holding that the appellate court applied the wrong standard of review but nonetheless reached the correct result because the traffic stop was valid and the statutory disqualification applies.
