STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2023 KW 0895

VERSUS

MARCEL DEWAYNE THOMPSON OCTOBER 23, 2023

In Re: Marcel Dewayne Thompson, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No. 558732.

BEFORE: WELCH, HOLDRIDGE, AND WOLFE, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. The record shows that in exchange for a forty -year sentence on a double bill, relator voluntarily waived his right to a habitual offender hearing and stipulated to the allegations contained in the habitual offender bill of information. As a result, relator waived appellate review of the sentence, his status as a habitual offender, and any claim that the State failed to prove the applicable cleansing period did not lapse. See La. R. S. 15: 529. 1 ( D) ( 1) ( b) ; State v. White, 2021- 0202 ( La. App. lst Cir. 10/ 4/ 21), 330 So. 3d 663, 666- 67.

Therefore, the district court did not err by denying the motion to correct an illegal habitual offender sentence.
