STATE OF LOUISIANA v. DEDRICK MATTHEWS
Dedrick Matthews, applying for supervisory writs, 19th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No. 04-14-0587.
BEFORE: McDONALD, McCLENDON, AND HOLDRIDGE, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. Relator's arguments in the motion to vacate illegal sentences do not relate to the legality of his sentences themselves under the applicable statutes; and, thus, the issues may not be raised in a motion to vacate illegal sentences. See State v. Parker, 98-0256 (La. 5/8/98), 711 So.2d 694, 695 (per curiam); State v. Gedric, 99-1213 (La.App. 1st Cir. 6/3/99), 741 So.2d 849, 851-52 (per curiam), writ denied, 99-1830 (La. 11/5/99), 751 So.2d 239.
