    STATE of Louisiana v. Barry ABSHER
    No. 2016-KP-1002
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    12/15/2017
   ON SUPERVISORY WRITS TO THE TWENTY-SECOND DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ST. TAMMANY

PER CURIAM:

| ¡Denied. Relator fails to show he was denied the effective assistance of counsel during plea negotiations under the standard -of Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984).

‘ Relator 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. Relator’s claims have now been fully litigated in áccord 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, relator has exhausted his right to state collateral review. The district court is ordered to record a minute entry consistent with this per curiam.
