STATE OF LOUISIANA v. SAREEL POINDEXTER
In Re: Sareel Poindexter, applying for supervisory writs, 17th Judicial District Court, Parish of Lafourche, No. 531,327. BEFORE: McCLENDON, WELCH, AND HOLDRIDGE, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. An attempt to re-litigate claims that have been previously disposed of on appeal by couching them as a postconviction ineffective assistance of counsel claim should be generally unavailing. See State v. Lee, 2014-2374 (La. 9/18/15), 181 So.3d 631, 638 (per curiam). See also La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.4(A). Furthermore, if the substantive claims the inmate says should have been raised on appeal are without merit, the claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel is also without merit. State v. Williams, 613 So.2d 252, 256-57 (La. App. 1st Cir. 1992).
