        WRIT       DENIED.             The     sentence        reductions     in    Act    403      of    2001
and     Act      45     of     2002     are     expressly         applicable        retroactively           to

inmates          who     committed           crimes,      who    were     convicted,       or      who    were

sentenced          under       certain         enumerated        provisions        prior   to      June    15,
2001.        See       La.     R. S.    15: 308;       State      v.     Jarvis,     2020- 00877 (         La.

1/ 12/ 21),        308       So. 3d     290,     291 (    per     curiam).         Relator       committed

the     instant         offense         in    2009,      and    therefore,     is    not   entitled         to

the     requested            relief.          Accordingly,         the    district     court        did    not

err by denying relator' s motion to correct an illegal sentence.
