STATE ex rel. Lue Elbert SULLIVAN v. STATE of Louisiana.
    No. 2013-KH-2487.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    July 31, 2014.
   In re Sullivan, Lue Elbert; — Plaintiff; Applying For Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Jefferson, 24th Judicial District Court Div. A, No. 73-996; to the Court of Appeal,' Fifth Circuit, No. 13-KH-735.

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.
