Supreme Court of Louisiana

State ex rel. Calvin James Heggar v. State of Louisiana

August 4, 20172017 La. LEXIS 1684

Summary

The court denied the relator’s application for supervisory relief because his post-conviction application was untimely and successive, and he failed to establish any applicable exception. The court held that his claims had been fully litigated and that Louisiana’s post-conviction procedure permits further collateral review only under narrow statutory exceptions. The denial was final, subject to any future showing that such an exception applies.
