STATE OF LOUISIANA v. ROBERT WRIGHT
In Re: Robert Wright, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No. 544, 974. BEFORE: GUIDRY, WELCH AND THERIOT, JJ.
WRIT DENIED ON THE SHOWING MADE IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. Relator's claims that his attorney was ineffective are denied on the showing made. Relator failed to include a filed-stamped copy of the application for postconviction relief, the bill of information, the district court's ruling, the State's answer, if any, and any other portions of the district court record that might support the claims in the application for postconviction relief. Supplementation of this writ application and/or an application for rehearing will not be considered. See Uniform Rules of Louisiana Courts of Appeal, Rules 2-18.7 & 4-9. In the event relator elects to file a new application with this Court, the application shall be filed on or before May 8, 2015. Any future filing on this issue should include the entire contents of this application, the missing items noted above, and a copy of this ruling. Insofar as relator claims that his sentence was excessive, the writ application is denied. A claim of excessive sentence is not a ground for postconviction relief. See State ex rel. Melinie v. State, 93-1380 (La. 1/12/96), 665 So.2d 1172 (per curiam).
