In Re: Kevin D. Thames, applying for supervisory writs, 21st Judicial District Court, Parish of Livingston, No. 10127.

BEFORE: McDONALD, LANIER, AND WOLFE, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. Ramos v. Louisiana, U. S. , 140 S. Ct. 1390, 206 L. Ed. 2d 583 ( 2020) does not apply retroactively to relator whose conviction and sentence were final at the time the decision was rendered. See also State v. Kelly, 2021- 00572 ( La. 9/ 27/ 21), 324 So. 3d 79 ( per curiam). Accordingly, the district court did not err by dismissing the application for postconviction relief.
