State ex rel. Schneider v. State
Louisiana Court of Appeal · Decided January 7, 1992
592 So. 2d 513; 1992 La. App. LEXIS 212; 1992 WL 11225 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

State ex rel. Schneider v. State

Opinion of the Court

WRIT DENIED: This Court previously has determined that Cage v. Louisiana, — U.S. -, 111 S.Ct. 328, 112 L.Ed.2d 339 (1990), is not retroactive; it is applicable only to cases pending upon direct review at the time it was decided. Moreover, in light of the strong evidence of identification presented by the victim, any error was clearly harmless. See State v. Cage, 580 So.2d 662 (La.), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 112 S.Ct. 211, 116 L.Ed.2d 170 (1991). We find no merit in relator’s claim that his counsel was ineffective.
