Theriot, J., concurs. Relator' s conviction, habitual offender adjudication, became final and sentence fourteen days after September 15, 2017, when he failed to seek a rehearing on this court' s opinion an his appeal the Louisiana with Supreme Court. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 922( B). Thus, relator' s claim that the 2017 changes to the Habitual Offender Law, which have prospective application only, is without merit on its face, as his conviction and sentence became final before November 1, 2017, which is the effective date of the changes to the law.
