In Re: Craig Victorian, applying for supervisory writs, 18th Judicial District Court, Parish of Pointe Coupee, No. 61181.
BEFORE: KUHN, PETTIGREW AND WELCH, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. Under La. Code Crim. P. art. 930.8, a trial court has no obligation to notify a defendant if the time period for filing postconviction relief is amended after the date of the sentencing. See State v. Delaune, 2000-0196 (La. App. 4th Cir. 2/7/01), 780 So.2d 1098. See also State v. Godbolt, 2006-0609 (La. App. 1st Cir. 11/3/06), 950 So.2d 727, 732. Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 930.8 generally provides that no application for postconviction relief, including applications that seek an out-of-time appeal, shall be considered if it is filed more than two years after the judgment of conviction and sentence have become final under the provisions of Article 914 or 922.
