STATE EX REL. Jeremy PEROT
v.
STATE of Louisiana
No. 2016-KH-0059.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
May 12, 2017.
219 So. 3d 324
Published
PER CURIAM:

[ t Denied. Relator’s actual innocence claim does not warrant relief. See State v. Pierre, 13-0873 (La. 10/15/13), 125 So.3d 403; State v. Conway, 01-2808 (La. 4/12/02), 816 So.2d 290.

Relator has now fully litigated two applications 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 accord 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.
