Head Matter:
STATE of Louisiana v. Quincy BROWN.
No. 2008-KP-0311.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
March 13, 2009.

Opinion:
In re Brown, Quincy; — Defendant; Applying For Supervisory and/or Remedial Writs, Parish of Orleans, Criminal District Court Div. H, No. 406-890; to the Court of Appeal, Fourth Circuit, No. 2007-K-1604.
Writ granted in part; otherwise denied; case remanded. Because relator's "judgment of conviction and sentence" did not become final under La.C.Cr.P. art. 914 and art. 922 until 30 days following his resen-tencing on October 12, 2004, cf. State ex rel. Frazier v. State, 03-0242 (La.2/6/04), 868 So.2d 9, his amended application and other pleadings filed in open court November 9, 2006, arrived timely. La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.8(A) (application for post-conviction relief must be filed within two years of finality of conviction and sentence) (emphasis added). The district court is accordingly ordered to give the amended application merits consideration. In all other respects the application is denied.
