IN THE INTEREST OF D.M.
D.M., applying for supervisory writs, Juvenile Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No. 9706-JJ.
BEFORE: GUIDRY, C.J., WOLFE AND MILLER, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. A pleading's nature is determined by its substance and not its caption. See State ex rel. Lay v. Cain, 96-1247 (La.App. 1st Cir. 2/14/97), 691 So.2d 135, 137. Counsel's attack on the constitutionality of the requirement that juvenile offenders convicted of aggravated sex offenses must register for life is in the nature of a request for postconviction relief. See State in Interest of A.N., 201801571 (La. 10/22/19), 286 So.3d 969.
