State Of Louisiana v. Alfred Jones Simmons

STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2025 KW 0635 VERSUS ALFRED JONES SIMMONS SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 In Re: Alfred Jones Simmons, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No. 562840.

BEFORE : LANIER, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. Relator does not identify an illegal term in his sentence. Therefore, his claim may not be raised in a motion to correct an illegal sentence. See State v. Henry, 2024-01534 (La. 4/23/25), 406 So.3d 1149 (per curiam). Furthermore, it is well-settled that the Louisiana Constitution does not require a grand jury indictment for habitual offender proceedings, even if the effect of the adjudication would be a life sentence. See State v. Jolla, 337 So.2d 197 (La. 1976); State v. Overton, 337 So.2d 1201, 1207 (La. 1976); State v. Delandro, 2001-2514 (La. App. ist Cir. 5/10/02), 818 So.2d 1011.
