COURT OF APPEAL, FIRST CIRCUIT

STATE OF LOUISTANA NO. 2025 KW 0719

VERSUS

DONALD DUNN NOVEMBER 3, 2025

In Re: Donald Dunn, applying for supervisory writs, 19th
Judicial District Court, Parish of East Baton Rouge, No.
DC-20-00242.

BEFORE: LANIER, WOLFE, AND HESTER, JJ.

WRIT DENIED. Relator pled guilty without reserving the right
to seek review of any pre-plea rulings. Therefore, he cannot
challenge the sufficiency of the State’s evidence against him, as
it is well-settled that a valid guilty plea relieves the State of
the burden of proving guilt and waives a defendant’s right to
question the merits of the State’s case and the factual basis
underlying the conviction, as well as appellate review of the
State’s case against defendant. See State v. Hardy, 39,233 (La.
App. 2d Cir. 1/26/05), 
892 So.2d 710
. Furthermore, the attached
decuments do not support relator’s claim that defense counsel
rendered ineffective assistance during the guilty plea. see
Strickland v. Washington, 
466 U.S. 668
, 
104 S.Ct. 2052
, 
80 L.Ed.2d 674
 (1984); see also State v. West, 2009-2810 (La. 12/10/10), 
50 So.3d 148
, 149 (per curiam). Accordingly, the district court did
not abuse its discretion by denying the application for
postconviction relief.
