IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
FROM CAUSE NO. W-6246-C-2 IN THE 251ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT OF RANDALL COUNTY
O P I N I O N
This is a post-conviction application for a writ of habeas corpus forwarded to this Court pursuant to Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3, et seq.. Applicant pleaded guilty to the felony offense of aggravated sexual assault, and punishment was assessed at fifty years' confinement. No direct appeal was taken.
In the instant application, Applicant raises several grounds for relief which were previously raised in a prior writ, which this Court denied without written order on November 5, 1997. Additionally, Applicant claims that his retained habeas counsel was ineffective for abandoning his first writ application.
This Court has reviewed Applicant's claim of ineffective assistance of habeas counsel, and has determined that because there is no right to counsel on habeas review, the claim is without merit. Therefore, it is denied. Applicant's remaining claims are barred from review; as such, they are dismissed. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07 § 4.
