State ex rel. Jones v. State
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided October 23, 2015
177 So. 3d 1058; 2015 La. LEXIS 2256; 2015 WL 6443823 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

State ex rel. Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

liNot considered. La.S.Ct. Rule IX § 6 (“An application for rehearing will not be considered when the court has merely granted or denied an application for a writ of certiorari or a remedial or other supervisory writ”).

Similar to federal habeas, see 28 U.S.C. § 2244, Louisiana’s post-conviction procedures envision the filing of second or successive petitions only under the narrow circumstances provided for in La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.4. Notably, the Legislature in 2013 La. Acts 251 amended that article to make the procedural bars against granting relief on successive filings mandatory. Relator’s claims are now all fully litigated in state collateral proceedings in accordance with La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.6 and the denial of relief has become final. Hereafter, unless relator can show that one of the narrow exceptions authorizing the filing of a successive application applies, relator has exhausted his right to state collateral review.
