SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 2024-KH-01550
STATE OF LOUISIANA EX REL.
VS.
ANDERSON HAWKINS, JR.
On Supervisory Writ to the 20th Judicial District Court, Parish of East Feliciana
PER CURIAM
Denied. The application was not timely filed in the district court, and applicant
fails to carry his burden to show that an exception applies. La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.8;
State ex rel. Glover v. State, 93-2330 (La. 9/5/95), 660 So.2d 1189.
Applicant has now fully litigated several applications 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. N otably, 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.
