N SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE TWENTY-FIRST
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF LIVINGSTON
PE
R CURIAM:
W
rit granted. This Court issued a per curiam denying writs in State ex rel.
Church v. State, 18-0064 (La. 12/3/18), 257 So.3d 1254, explaining that applicant
had exhausted his right to state collateral review. That per curiam only concerned
applicant’s post-conviction claim number six, which involved a warrantless search.
At that time, applicant had ten remaining post-conviction claims (claims 1, 13, 16,
17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24) on which the district court had not yet ruled. The
district court’s subsequent summary denial of those claims in reliance on this
Court’s per curiam in State ex. Rel. Church v. State was therefore in error. That
ruling is reversed, and this matter is remanded to the district court for further
proceedings on the ten remaining pending claims.
