State ex rel. Johnnie Causey v. State of Louisiana

Summary

The court denied relator's filing because he did not identify an illegal sentence, making the filing an application for post-conviction relief rather than habeas relief. The application was untimely, relator failed to establish an exception to the limitations period, and his sentencing claim was not cognizable on collateral review. The court further held that relator had exhausted his state collateral-review remedy absent a narrow exception permitting a successive application.
