STATE OF LOUISIANA v. IAN JONES
In Re: Ian Jones, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of Washington, No. 2010-CR5-111242. BEFORE: WHIPPLE, C.J., McCLENDON AND HIGGINBOTHAM, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.3 sets out the exclusive grounds that may be raised in an application for postconviction relief, and the article does not provide the basis for review of errors in the habitual offender adjudication or other sentencing errors after the conviction. See State ex rel. Melinie v. State, 93-1380 (La. 1/12/96), 665 So.2d 1172 (per curiam); State v. Hebreard, 98-0385 (La. App. 4th Cir. 3/25/98), 708 So.2d 1291. Additionally, the Louisiana Supreme Court has indicated that a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel at the habitual offender adjudication is not a ground for postconviction relief. See State v. Cotton, 2009-2397 (La. 10/15/10), 45 So.3d 1030 (per curiam).
