Background
Jonathan D. York, Sr. applied for supervisory review in a criminal proceeding originating in the 19th Judicial District Court for East Baton Rouge Parish, docket number 05-11-0567.
The brief appellate disposition does not describe York’s underlying conviction, the relief he requested, or the district court’s reasoning.
The Court’s Holding
The Louisiana Court of Appeal, First Circuit denied York’s supervisory writ application.
The court cited Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 930.8(A), which addresses the time limitation for applications for post-conviction relief. The opinion contains a second garbled citation that cannot be identified reliably from the supplied text.
Key Takeaways
- York’s supervisory writ application was denied.
- The court expressly cited Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure article 930.8(A).
- The one-line disposition provides no factual analysis or explanation beyond its statutory references.
Why It Matters
The ruling leaves the district court’s disposition undisturbed and highlights the procedural time limits governing Louisiana post-conviction applications. Because the opinion is summary and one citation is illegible in the supplied text, it should not be read as resolving issues beyond the denial of York’s writ application.
