COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2020 KW 0779

VERSUS

JERXAVIER LANE
SEP 2 8 2010

In Re: JerXavier Lane, applying for supervisory writs, 20th
Judicial District Court, Parish of West Feliciana,
Nos. 16-- WFLN- 616, 16- WFLN- 650, & 16- WMSD- 657.

BEFORE: MCDONALD, HOLDRIDGE, AND PENZATO, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. Relator' s claim that he was punished multiple
times for the same conduct in violation of the Double Jeopardy
Clause is without merit. Sanctions imposed in administrative

disciplinary proceedings by the Department of Public Safety and
Corrections are civil in nature. Actions by
taken a

disciplinary board against a prison inmate generally provide no

basis for a claim of double jeopardy. See United States v.

Ursery, 518 U. S. 267, 289, 116 S. Ct. 2135, 2147- 48, 135 L. Ed. 2d
549 ( 1996); State v. Duncan, 98- 1730 ( La. App. 1st Cir.

6/ 25/ 99), 738 So. 2d 706, 709, writ denied, 96- 2571 ( La.
3/ 21/ 97), 691 So. 2d 81. See also Butler v. Department of Public

Safety and Corrections, 609 So. 2d 790, 795 ( La. 1992).
