IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

WR-7,929-04 EX PARTE RONALD CURTIS CHAMBERS ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

IN CAUSE NO. F85-99385-PKW FROM THE

363^RD DISTRICT COURT OF DALLAS COUNTY

Per Curiam.

ORDER

This is a subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 11.071, Section 5.

Applicant was convicted for the third time of capital murder in June 1992. We affirmed the conviction and sentence. Chambers v. State, 903 S.W.2d 21 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). On October 17, 1996, applicant filed his initial application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Article 11.071. We denied relief. Ex parte Chambers, WR-7,929-03 (Tex. Crim. App. March 24, 1999).

Applicant currently has similar claims under consideration in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Because we will abstain from considering issues when they are validly before another court, this application is dismissed. Ex parte Powers, 487 S.W.2d 101 (Tex. Crim. App. 1972); Ex parte Soffar, 143 S.W.3d 804 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004). The motion for stay of execution is dismissed as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 6^TH DAY OF JUNE, 2007.
