IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 723847 IN THE 180TH DISTRICT COURT
HARRIS COUNTY
O R D E R
This is a subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071, § 5.
Applicant was convicted of the offense of capital murder in July 1996. The jury answered the special issues submitted under Article 37.0711 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, and the trial court, accordingly, set punishment at death. This Court affirmed Applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal. White v. State, No. 72,580 (Tex. Crim. App. August 13, 1997). This Court denied Applicant's initial post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte White, WR-48,152-01 (Tex. Crim. App. February 21, 2001). This Court dismissed Applicant's second post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus as an abuse of the writ. Ex parte White, WR-48,152-02 (Tex. Crim. App. April 24, 2002). Applicant's third and fourth post-conviction applications for writ of habeas corpus were received in this Court on March 11, 2009.
Applicant challenges the validity of his conviction and resulting sentence by presenting five allegations in his third habeas application and two allegations in his fourth habeas application. We have reviewed the applications and find that the allegations fail to satisfy the requirements of Article 11.071, § 5(a). Accordingly, the applications are dismissed as abuses of the writ. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Art. 11.071, § 5(c).
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 6TH DAY OF MAY, 2009.
