State Of Louisiana v. Kevin Christian Scott

STATE OF LOUISIANA COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2026 KW 0415 VERSUS KEVIN CHRISTIAN SCOTT JUNE 29, 2026 In Re: Kevin Christian Scott, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No. 1482-F-2019.

BEFORE: McCLENDON, C.J., STROMBERG AND EDWARDS, Ju.

WRIT DENIED. The application for postconviction relief is untimely on its face, and relator failed to meet his burden of proving an exception to the time limitation. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.8(A). If an application for postconviction relief is untimely under Article 930.8, it should not be considered on the merits. See State v. LeBlanc, 2006-0169 (La. 9/15/06), 937 So.2d 844 (per curiam). Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying the application for postconviction relief.
