STATE OF LOUISIANA v. STEVIE TARVER
In Re: Stevie Tarver, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of Washington, No. 14-CR6-127184. BEFORE: WELCH, CHUTZ, AND PENZATO, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. For felony cases in which the defendant has been sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor, there is no authorization for the court to amend the sentence after execution of the sentence has begun unless the court grants a timely filed motion to reconsider sentence. State v. Gedric, 99-1213 (La. App. 1st Cir. 6/3/99), 741 So.2d 849, 852 (per curiam), writ denied, 99-1830 (La. 11/5/99), 751 So.2d 239. Relator's motion was untimely. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 881.1(A)(1). If relator is making a complaint with regard to the computation of his sentence, La. R.S. 15:1171(B) grants authority to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to adopt administrative remedy procedures to receive, hear, and dispose of complaints of time computations of sentences. Any complaint pertaining to the time computation, including credit for time served, must be made under the Corrections Administrative Remedy Procedure (CARP) as provided in La. R.S. 15:1171-79.
