Alpine, Charles Willy

















IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS




NOS. WR-19,066-15 and 16


EX PARTE CHARLES WILLY ALPINE, Applicant


ON APPLICATIONS FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 1092935 IN THE 184th DISTRICT COURT

FROM HARRIS COUNTY


Per curiam.



O R D E R



Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court these applications for writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to forty-five years' imprisonment.

In both applications, Applicant raises two grounds for challenging his conviction. These applications, however, present a more serious question. This Court's records reflect that Applicant has filed nine prior applications challenging this conviction. It is obvious from the record that Applicant continues to raise issues that have been presented and rejected in previous applications or that should have been presented in previous applications. The writ of habeas corpus is not to be lightly or easily abused. Sanders v. U.S., 373 U.S. 1 (1963); Ex parte Carr, 511 S.W.2d 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974). Because of his repetitive claims, we hold that Applicant's claims are barred from review under Article 11.07, § 4, and are waived and abandoned by his abuse of the writ. These applications are dismissed.

Therefore, we instruct the Honorable Louise Pearson, Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals, not to accept or file the instant applications for a writ of habeas corpus, or any future application attacking this conviction unless Applicant is able to show in such an application that any claims presented have not been raised previously and that they could not have been presented in a previous application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Bilton, 602 S.W.2d 534 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980).

A copy of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division.
