VERSUS
KENTREAL JARBAR HOWARD FEBRUARY 1, 2021
In Re: Kentreal Jarbar Howard, for applying supervisory writs, 32nd Judicial District Court, Parish of
Terrebonne, No. 718291 c/ w 744470.
BEFORE: THERIOT, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. Relator" s numerous claims are without merit on their face, unsupported or refuted by the documents included with the writ application, and/ or not supported by the applicable law and jurisprudence. Thus, he did not meet his burden of proof on his claims. See La. Code Crim. P. art. 930. 2. Furthermore, in Ramos v. Louisiana, _ U. S._, , 140 S. Ct. 1390, 1397, 206 L. Ed. 2d 583 ( 2020), the United States Supreme Court held, " the Sixth Amendment' s unanimity requirement applies to state and federal criminal trials equally." However, the Court declined to address whether its holding applied
retroactively to cases on collateral review. See Ramos, U. S. at , 140 S. Ct. at 1407. The question of whether Ramos must apply retroactively to cases on federal collateral review is currently pending before the Court. Edwards U. S. v. Vannoy, _ 140 S. Ct, 2737, 206 L. Ed. 2d 917 ( 2020), Moreover, the Louisiana Supreme Court has declined to definitively rule on whether Ramos should apply on collateral review in state court
proceedings pending a decision in Edwards. See State v. Gipson, 2019- 01815 ( La. 6/ 3/ 20), 296 So. 3d 1051, 1052 ( Johnson, C. J., dissenting to point out that she disagreed with the majority' s decision to deter ruling until the United States Supreme Court mandates action). Therefore, we are to constrained deny relief at this time. However, our decision does not preclude relator from reurging the issue in the district court if warranted by the decision of the higher court( s).
