State Of Louisiana v. Marcel Dewayne Thompson ( 2023 )

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2023 KW 0895
VERSUS
MARCEL DEWAYNE THOMPSON OCTOBER 23, 2023
In Re: Marcel Dewayne Thompson, applying for supervisory
writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St.
Tammany, No. 558732.
BEFORE: WELCH, HOLDRIDGE, AND WOLFE, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. The record shows that in exchange for a
forty -year sentence on a double bill, relator voluntarily waived
his right to a habitual offender hearing and stipulated to the
allegations contained in the habitual offender bill of
information. As a result, relator waived appellate review of
the sentence, his status as a habitual offender, and any claim
that the State failed to prove the applicable cleansing period
did not lapse. See La. R. S. 15: 529. 1 ( D) ( 1) ( b) ; State v. White,
2021- 0202 ( La. App. lst Cir. 10/ 4/ 21), 330 So. 3d 663, 666- 67.
Therefore, the district court did not err by denying the motion
to correct an illegal habitual offender sentence.
