SUPREME COURT OF LOUISIANA
No. 25-KH-0928
STATE OF LOUISIANA
v.
JERRY McLEMORE
ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE SECOND
JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JACKSON
PER CURIAM:
Denied. 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.
