R CURIAM:

enied. Applicant fails to show that the state withheld material exculpatory
evidence in violation of Brady v. Maryland , 373 U.S. 83, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10
L.Ed.2d 215 (1963). As to his remaining claim, applicant fails to satisfy his post-
conviction burden of proof. La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.2.
Applicant has now fully litigated several applications 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 within 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 applie s, applicant has exhausted his right to state collateral
review. The district court is ordered to record a minute entry consistent with this
per curiam.
