STATE OF LOUISIANA v. LaSHAWN ANTHONY SMITH
In Re: LaShawn Anthony Smith, applying for supervisory writs, 32nd Judicial District Court, Parish of Terrebonne, No. 587,665.
BEFORE: McDONALD, McCLENDON, AND HOLDRIDGE, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. If the substantive claim has no merit, then the contention that counsel is ineffective for failing to raise the issue also has no merit. See State ex rel. Roper v. Cain, 99-2173 (La.App. 1st Cir. 10/26/99), 763 So.2d 1, 5 (per curiam), writ denied, 2000-0975 (La. 11/17/00), 773 So.2d 733.
