PRESTON DEMOUCHETTE v. LOUISIANA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND CORRECTIONS
In Re: Preston Demouchette, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 666583. BEFORE: GUIDRY, THERIOT, AND PENZATO, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Relator's allegations do not support a claim for habeas relief. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 362. Rather, relator's claims are in the nature of a request for post-conviction relief, which must be filed in the parish of conviction. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 925.
