STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2025 KW 0351 VERSUS STEVEN JERMAINE CHARLES JUNE 16, 2025 In Re: Steven Jermaine Charles, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No. 548792.

BEFORE : McCLENDON, C.J., GREENE AND STROMBERG, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. Relator’s sentence was imposed in 2015. The sentence reductions in Act 403 of 2001 and Act 45 of 2002 apply retroactively only to inmates who committed crimes, were convicted, or sentenced under one of the enumerated offenses prior to June 15, 2001. See La. R.S. 15:308(A) (1) & (2) (prior to amendment by 2014 La. Acts No. 340, § 1). Furthermore, aggravated flight from an officer is defined as a crime of violence. See La. R.S. 14:2(B) (39). Moreover, the 2017 amendments to the habitual offender law do not apply retroactively. See 2017 La. Acts No. 297, § 2. Accordingly, the district court did not err by denying the motion to correct an illegal sentence.
