enied. The application was not timely filed in the district court, and
applicant fails to carry his burden to show that an exception applies. La.C.Cr.P. art.
930.8; State ex rel. Glover v. State, 93-2330 (La. 9/5/95), 660 So.2d 1189.
Applicant has now fully litigated his application for post-conviction relief in
state court. Similar to federal habeas relief, see 28 U.S.C. § 2244, Louisiana post-
conviction procedure envisions the filing of a successive application only under the
narrow circumstances provided in La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.4 and wi thin the limitations
period as set out in La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.8. Notably, the Legislature in 2013 La. Acts
251 amended that article to make the procedural bars against successive filings
mandatory. Applicant’s claims have now been fully litigated in accord with
La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.6, and this denial is final. Hereafter, unless he can show that
one of the narrow exceptions authorizing the filing of a successive application
applies, applicant has exhausted his right to state collateral review. The district
court is ordered to record a minute entry consistent with this per curiam.
