STATE OF LOUISIANA
COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

 

STATE OF LOUISTANA NO. 2022 KW 0887
VERSUS

MIGUEL CHRISTIAN THERIOT OCTOBER 11, 2022
In Re: Miguel Christian Theriot, applying for supervisory

writs, 32nd Judicial District Court, Parish of
Terrebonne, No. 13-FELY-666893.

 

BEFORE : WHIPPLE, C.J., GUIDRY AND WOLFE, JJ.
WRIT DENIED.

VGW
EW

Guidry, J., dissents. The decision whether to apply Ramos
v. Louisiana, U.S. , 140 S.Ct. 1390, 206 L.Ed.2d 583

(2020) retroactively and grant postconviction relief on state
collateral review to defendants convicted by non-unanimous

juries remains with the Louisiana Supreme Court. A state court
may give broader effect to new rules of criminal procedure than
is required by the relevant opinion. See Danforth v. Minnesota,

552 U.S. 264, 128 #S.Ct. 1029, 169 L.Ed.2d 859 (2008).
Accordingly, I would stay the writ application pending a
decision in State v. Reddick, 2021-1893 (La. 2/15/22), 332 So.3d
1173, whereby the Louisiana Supreme Court has taken up for
consideration the issue of whether Ramos applies retroactively
on state collateral review.
