STATE ex rel. Anthony GLASPER v. STATE of Louisiana.
    No. 2015-KH-0515.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Jan. 8, 2016.
   PER CURIAM.

| iDenied. Relator is not entitled to an out-of-time appeal. See State v. Counterman, 475 So.2d 336 (La.1985). Additionally, relator shows no error in the trial court’s 'findings that relator was properly Boykinized and that relator failed to show he received ineffective assistance of counsel under the standard of Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984). In addition, relator’s claim that his sentence is excessive' is not cognizable on collateral review, and relator cannot appeal his sentence in accordance with La.C.Cr.P. art. 881.2(A)(2). La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.3; see also State ex rel. Melinie v. State, 93-1380 (La.1/12/96), 665 So.2d 1172.

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 ^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.
