SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA

No. 21-KP-1370

STATE OF LOUISIANA

v.

WILFORD. B. VANGURE, ET AL

ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE FIFTEENTH
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF LAFAYETTE

PER CURIAM:

Denied. Applicant fails to show that he received ineffective assistance of
counsel under the standard of Strickland v. Washington , 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct.
2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984). Applicant also 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).
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 e nvisions the filing of a second or 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 tha t 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 aut horizing 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.
