John Wesley Patton v. Gary Westcott, Secretary, Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, et al.

State Post-Conviction Procedural Questions: Question Number One Are the following State Post Conviction grounds not “enumerated” grounds for relief as the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled? Even though the Petitioner specifically assigned valid Louisiana State and United States Constitutional violations on each claim 1 through 30 in the original post conviction claims, that the State of Louisiana claims are not enumerated? The Petitioner states that Louisiana post conviction claim numbers; Six, Ten, Eleven, Fourteen, Eighteen, Twenty-One, Twenty-Six, Twenty-Seven, Twenty-Nine, are in fact valid constitutional violations and are valid. (Appendix “D”). Are these Grounds mentioned above cognizable for State post conviction? Did the Louisiana Court’s in fact err in their rulings? (Appendix “D”). Question Number Two Are Petitioner’s State Post Conviction Claims Four, Five, Eight, Nine, Twelve, Thirteen, Fourteen, Fifteen, Sixteen, Seventeen, Eighteen, Nineteen, TwentyThree, Twenty-Eight, in fact “procedurally barred” as the Louisiana Supreme Court affirmed? (Appendix “D”). a. If so? Is that Louisiana “procedurally bar” overcome by the Petitioner’s repeated claims of “actual innocence?” See Supreme Court Number 24-5079. Patton V. Louisiana, 145 S. Ct. 301. In which Petitioner maintained his “actual innocence” on direct appeal.
