    STATE ex rel. Karl DAVIS v. STATE of Louisiana.
    No. 2013-KH-0208.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    July 31, 2014.
   In re Davis, Karl; — Plaintiff; Applying For Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court Div. E, No. 244-290.

Denied. See State v. Tate, 12-2763 (La.11/5/13), 130 So.3d 829, cert. denied, Tate v. Louisiana, — U.S/—, 134 S.Ct. 2663,189 L.Ed.2d 214 (2014).

JOHNSON, C.J.,

would grant. In State v. Tate, 2012-2763 (La.11/5/13), 130 So.3d 829, this court held that Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S.—, 132 S.Ct. 2455, 183 L.Ed.2d 407 (2012), does not retroactively apply to juvenile offenders whose life sentences were handed down before the Supreme Court issued its opinion. In my view, Miller announced a new rule of criminal procedure that is substantive, and consequently should apply retroactively.
