STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2025 KW 0635

VERSUS

ALFRED JONES SIMMONS SEPTEMBER 8, 2025

In Re: Alfred Jones Simmons, applying for supervisory writs,

22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No.
562840.

BEFORE : LANIER, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. Relator does not identify an illegal term in
his sentence. Therefore, his claim may not be raised in a motion
to correct an illegal sentence. See State v. Henry, 2024-01534
(La. 4/23/25), 406 So.3d 1149 (per curiam). Furthermore, it is
well-settled that the Louisiana Constitution does not require a
grand jury indictment for habitual offender proceedings, even if
the effect of the adjudication would be a life sentence. See State
v. Jolla, 337 So.2d 197 (La. 1976); State v. Overton, 337 So.2d
1201, 1207 (La. 1976); State v. Delandro, 2001-2514 (La. App. ist
Cir. 5/10/02), 818 So.2d 1011.
