Holdridge J., dissents and would stay the matter. The
decision whether to apply Ramos v. Louisiana, _ U. S. _, 140
S. Ct. 1390, 206 L. Ed. 2d 583 ( 2020) retroactively and grant

postconviction relief on state collateral review to defendants
convicted by non - unanimous juries in all or certain

circumstances remains with the Louisiana Supreme Court. A state

court may give broader effect to new rules of criminal procedure
than is required by the relevant opinion. See Danforth v.

Minnesota, 552 U. S. 264, 128 S. Ct. 1029, 169 L. Ed. 2d 859 ( 2008).
