WRIT DENIED. Relator failed to file a motion to quash the habitual offender bill of information and there is no indication that relator filed a motion to reconsider sentence after he was sentenced on September 15, 2025. Thus, any claims attacking the habitual offender adjudication are barred. La. R.S. 15:529.1(D) (1) (b); State v. Thompson, 2015-1983 (La. App. lst Cir. 9/16/16), 202 So.3d 998, 1002.
