STATE OF LOUISIANA v. RICKEY LIONEL LAURANT
In Re: Rickey Lionel Laurant, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No. 517140. BEFORE: PETTIGREW, McDONALD, AND CALLOWAY, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The holding in Martinez v. Ryan, 566 U.S. 1, 132 S.Ct. 1309, 182 L.Ed.2d 272 (2012), does not apply to relator's postconviction claims made in state district court. See State v. Deloch, 2013-1975 (La. 5/16/14), 140 So.3d 1167. Furthermore, relator's second application for postconviction relief was filed outside the time delay. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.8. Accordingly, the district court did not err in dismissing relator's second application for postconviction relief.
