STATE OF LOUISIANA v. FRANCIS WINCHESTER
In Re: Francis Winchester, applying for supervisory writs, 16th Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Mary, Nos. 1998-150349, 2001-157877. BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C.J., WELCH AND CHUTZ, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The district court did not err in denying relator's motion for credit for time served. If relator is making a complaint with regard to the computation of his sentences, La. R.S. 15:1171(B) grants authority to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to adopt administrative remedy procedures to receive, hear, and dispose of complaints of time computations of sentences. Any complaint pertaining to the time computation, including credit for time served, must be made under the Corrections Administrative Remedy Procedure (CARP) as provided in La. R.S. 15:1171-79.
