Description: Gretna, Louisiana criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
Relator, Corey Thomas, has filed a “Motion to Vacat [sic] Illegal Sentence Pursuant to La. C.Cr.P. Art. 872 and Art. 882” in this Court, requesting that this Court vacate his habitual offender sentence which was purportedly imposed on August 5, 2015 under La. R.S. 15:529.1 after he admitted to being a second felony offender, following his July 14, 2015 conviction for “being a convicted felon with a weapon.” In his motion, relator asserts that his habitual offender sentence “does not rest upon a valid and sufficient plea of guilty” as required by La. C.Cr.P. art. 872, “due to his past prior's [sic] used to multibill” him (possession of marijuana, second offense, and illegal possession of a stolen automobile). He further asserts that under La. C.Cr.P. art. 882, this Court has the authority to correct his “illegal” sentence at any time “on review.”
