SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 24-KH-1284
STATE OF LOUISIANA
v.
ANTHONY C. DEARMAS
ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE TWENTY-SECOND
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ST. TAMMANY
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). As to the
remaining claims, applicant fails to satisfy his post-conviction burden
of proof. La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.2.
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 envisions 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 that 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 authorizing 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.
