EX PARTE MARK LYNN MILLIGAN, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. W11-27465-U(B) IN THE 291ST DISTRICT COURT
FROM DALLAS COUNTY
Per curiam.
ORDER
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 this application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte
Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of murder and
sentenced to imprisonment for fifteen years. The Fifth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction.
Milligan v. State, No. 05-12-01537-CR (Tex. App.—Dallas Dec. 30, 2014) (not designated for
publication).
On March 3, 2016, the trial court entered an order designating issues. The District Clerk
properly forwarded the record to this Court pursuant to Rule of Appellate Procedure 73.4(b)(5).
However, the record has been forwarded without the trial court having resolved the designated
issue(s) in this case. We remand this application to the 291st District Court of Dallas County to
allow the trial judge to complete an evidentiary investigation and enter findings of fact and
conclusions of law.
This application will be held in abeyance until the trial court has resolved the fact issues. The
issues shall be resolved within 90 days of this order. A supplemental transcript containing all
affidavits and interrogatories or the transcription of the court reporter’s notes from any hearing or
deposition, along with the trial court’s supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall
be forwarded to this Court within 120 days of the date of this order. Any extensions of time shall
be obtained from this Court.
