    STATE ex rel. Sterling Germaine ROBINSON v. STATE of Louisiana.
    No. 2014-KH-2601.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Oct. 9, 2015.
   PER curiam:

| denied. Moot. The trial court denied relator’s claims after conducting an eviden-tiary hearing on July 31, 2014.

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 La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.4 to make the procedural bars against successive filings mandatory. Relator’s claims have now been fully litigated in state collateral proceedings in accord with La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.6, and this denial is final. Hereafter, unless relator 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.
