STATE OF LOUISIANA v. TAURIUS MARQUES HOLMES
In Re: Taurius Marques Holmes, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of Washington, No. 05-CR3-92375.
BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C.J., WELCH AND CRAIN, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The holding in Martinez v. Ryan, 132 S.Ct. 1309, 182 L.Ed.2d 272 (2012) appears to affect federal habeas corpus proceedings for defendants alleging ineffective assistance of counsel, but it does not create any right enforceable in state criminal postconviction proceedings. Accordingly, the trial court did not err in denying relator's application for postconviction relief. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.8.
