STATE OF LOUISIANA

COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISIANA NO. 2019 KW 0746

VERSUS

SAREEL POINDEXTER AUG 19 2019

In Re: Sareel Poindexter, for applying supervisory writs, 17th Judicial District Court, Parish of Lafourche, No. 531, 327.

BEFORE: MCCLENDON, WELCH, AND HOLDRIDGE, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. An attempt to re -litigate claims that have been previously disposed of on appeal by couching them as a

postconviction ineffective assistance of counsel claim should be generally unavailing. See State v. Lee, 2014-- 2374 ( La. 9/ 18/ 15), 181 So. 3d 631, 638 ( per curlam). See also La. Code Crim. P. art. 930. 4( A). Furthermore, if the substantive claims the inmate says should have been raised on appeal are without merit, the claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel is also without merit. State v. Williams, 613 So. 2d 252, 256- 57 La. App. 1st Cir. 1992).
