UPERVISORY WRITS TO THE TWENTY-FOURTH
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON
PE
R CURIAM:
R
econsideration granted. The matter is remanded to the court of appeal for
further proceedings and to conduct a new error patent review in light of Ramos v.
Louisiana, 590 U.S. ___, 140 S.Ct. 1390, ___ L.Ed.2d ___ (2020). If the non-
unanimous jury claim was not preserved for review in the t rial court or was
abandoned during any stage of the proceedings, the court of appeal should
nonetheless consider the issue as part of its error patent review. See La.C.Cr.P. art.
920(2).
The present matter was pending on direct review when Ramos v. Louisiana
was decided, and therefore the holding of Ramos applies. See Griffith v. Kentucky, 479 U.S. 314, 328, 107 S.Ct. 708, 716, 93 L.Ed.2d 649 (1987). Nothing herein
should be construed as a determination as to whether that ruling will apply
retroactively on state collateral review to those convictions and sentences that were
final when Ramos was decided.
