Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-82,441-01

EX PARTE JAMES LUTHER BLACKMAN, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. W95-72927-P IN THE 203RD 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 the

offense of sexual assault and sentenced to imprisonment for twenty years.

On November 5, 2014, the trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law. The

trial court recommended that relief be granted.

The trial court made findings that counsel’s performance was deficient and, but for

counsel’s errors, the proceeding would be different. The trial court’s findings are not supported

by the record.

Based on this Court’s independent review of the entire record, we deny relief.
