State ex rel. Strattman v. State
Citations: 210 So. 3d 799; 2017 La. LEXIS 434Docket: No. 2017-KH-0080
Court: Supreme Court of Louisiana; February 23, 2017; Louisiana; State Supreme Court
Writ not considered due to being untimely filed under La.S.Ct. R. X. 5. Relator has exhausted his right to post-conviction relief in state court. Louisiana post-conviction procedures allow for a second or successive application only under specific conditions outlined in La. C.Cr. P. art. 930.4, and within the time limits established by La. C.Cr. P. art. 930.8. Legislative amendments in 2013 (La. Acts 251) made procedural bars against successive filings mandatory. The District Court has denied relator's application for post-conviction relief, making this ruling final. Relator can only seek a successive application if he meets one of the narrow exceptions. The District Court is directed to record a minute entry in line with this per curiam ruling.
