Opinion of the Court

In re Smith, Virgil L.; —Plaintiff; Applying For Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of St. Tammany, 22nd Judicial District Court Div. F, No. 334349; to the Court of Appeal, First Circuit, No. 2009 KA 0192.

S.Ct.R. X section 5, he may no longer seek direct review in this Court.

C.Cr.P. art. 926, subject to the time limits imposed by La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.8.
