HABEAS CORPUS APPLICATION

FROM NUECES COUNTY


Per Curiam.

O R D E R



This is a subsequent application for a writ of habeas corpus under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 11.071 § 5.

Applicant was convicted of capital murder on February 26, 1985. We affirmed the judgement and sentence on June 18, 1986. Kunkle v. State, 771 S.W.2d 435 (Tex.Crim.App. 1986), cert. denied 492 U.S. 925 (1989). Applicant's original application for writ of habeas corpus was considered by this Court and relief denied on February 3, 1993. Applicant has filed this subsequent application alleging jurisdiction under the provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 11.071, § 5(a)(1). However, applicant has an action in this case pending in federal court.
