PER CURIAM, .

¶1| ^Denied. Relator’s application is repetitive. La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.4.

¶2Relator has now fully litigated numerous applications ' for post-conviction relief in state court. Similar to federal habeas relief, see 28 U.S.C. § 2244, Louisiana post-conviction procedure éhvisions the filing of a second or successive application only under the narrow circumstances provided in La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.4 and'within the limitations period as set out in La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.8. Notably, the Legislature in 2013 La. Acts 251 amended that article to make the procedural bars against successive filings mándatory. Relator’s claims have now been fully litigated in accord with La.C.Cr.P. art. 930.6, and this denial is final. Hereafter, [¿unless he can show that one of the narrow exceptions authorizing the filing.of a successive application applies, relator has exhausted his right to state collateral review. The District Court is ordered tó record a minute entry consistent with this per curiam.
