WILLIAM POWELL JANUARY 31, 2022

In Re: William Powell, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of Washington, No. 10- CR3- 110833.

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 was 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.
