IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI NO. 2017-CP-00620-COA ERIC LAQUINNE BROWN A/K/A ERIC L. BROWN A/K/A ERIC BROWN APPELLANT v. STATE OF MISSISSIPPI DATE OF JUDGMENT: TRIAL JUDGE: COURT FROM WHICH APPEALED: ATTORNEY FOR APPELLANT: ATTORNEY FOR APPELLEE: NATURE OF THE CASE: DISPOSITION: MOTION FOR REHEARING FILED: MANDATE ISSUED: APPELLEE 04/10/2017 HON. THOMAS J. GARDNER III PONTOTOC COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT ERIC LAQUINNE BROWN (PRO SE) OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BY: JOSEPH SCOTT HEMLEBEN CIVIL - POST-CONVICTION RELIEF AFFIRMED: 05/22/2018 BEFORE LEE, C.J., CARLTON, FAIR AND WESTBROOKS, JJ. FAIR, J., FOR THE COURT: ¶1. In 1999, Eric Brown pled guilty to killing his girlfriend and their unborn child. This is his fifth motion for post-conviction relief. Brown contends that under Sanders v. State, 9 So. 3d 1132, 1136 (¶16) (Miss. 2009), he should not have been allowed to plead guilty without an on-the-record competency hearing. He has raised this issue before, and we found Brown’s claims time- and successive-writ barred because Sanders does not apply retroactively. Brown v. State, 198 So. 3d 325, 325 (¶1) (Miss. Ct. App. 2015). For the same reasons as before, we affirm the dismissal of this latest PCR motion. ¶2. AFFIRMED. LEE, C.J., IRVING AND GRIFFIS, P.JJ., BARNES, CARLTON, WILSON, GREENLEE, WESTBROOKS AND TINDELL, JJ., CONCUR. 2
