State ex rel. Washington v. State
State ex rel. Washington v. State
Opinion of the Court
1 iDenied. Relator has not identified an illegal term in his sentence, and therefore, his filing is properly construed as an application for post-conviction relief. See State v. Parker, 98-0256 (La.5/8/98), 711 So.2d 694, As such, it is subject to the time limitation set forth in La:C.Cr.P. art. 930.8. Relator’s application was not timely filed in the district court, and he has failed to carry his burden to show that an exception applies. La.C.Cr.P. art, 930.8; State ex rel. Glover v. State, 93-2330 (La.9/5/95), 660 So.2d 1189.
Relator has now fully litigated his application for post-conviction relief in state court. Similar to federal habeas relief, see
