STATE OF LOUISIANA v. JOHN LUCAS
In Re: John Lucas, applying for supervisory writs, 21st Judicial District Court, Parish of Tangipahoa, No. 501723.
BEFORE: CRAIN, THERIOT AND DRAKE, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The holdings in Trevino v. Thaler, __ U.S. __, 133 S.Ct. 1911, 185 L.Ed.2d 1044 (2013), and Martinez v. Ryan, __ U.S. __, 132 S.Ct. 1309, 182 L.Ed.2d 272 (2012), do not apply to relator's postconviction claims made in state court. Accordingly, the trial court did not err in dismissing relator's application for postconviction relief as untimely. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.8. See also State v. Deloch, 2013-1975 (La. 5/16/14), 2014 WL 2683021.
