State ex rel. Lamar Lamont Woods, Gregory Ponray Crawford, Jessica Monique Jean Carter, Christopher Lamont Robbins…

Summary

The Court quashed its preliminary writ because the grand jury indictment charging Woods rendered his request for a preliminary hearing moot, leaving no effective relief available. The Court also held that the capable-of-repetition exception did not apply because Woods failed to show that the alleged violation would recur under the circumstances. The Court nevertheless explained that Rule 22.09(a) imposes mandatory deadlines and requires a meaningful good-cause inquiry before granting a continuance.
