STATE OF LOUISIANA v. RON A. BROWN
In Re: Ron A. Brown, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, Nos. 503846 & 503932. BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C.J., GUIDRY AND McCLENDON, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The district court did not err by denying relator's third motion for production of documents which was filed in May 2016, when the limitations period of La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.8 has expired. See State ex rel. Brown v. State, 2003-2568 (La. 3/26/04), 870 So.2d 976, 977 (per curiam). Furthermore, an inmate cannot make a showing of a particularized need unless he files an application for postconviction relief which sets out specific claims of constitutional errors requiring the requested documentation for support. See State ex rel. Bernard v. Criminal District Court Section "J", 94-2247 (La. 4/28/95), 653 So.2d 1174, 1175 (per curiam). Despite this Court's previous action in 2014 KW 0301, there is still no indication that relator has filed an application for postconviction relief in the district court.
