IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-81,177-01

EX PARTE LUCAS RURIC COE, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 1227878-A IN THE 232ND DISTRICT COURT FROM HARRIS COUNTY

Per curiam. NEWELL, J., not participating.

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 aggravated sexual

assault and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals affirmed his

conviction. Coe v. State, No. 14-10-00929-CR (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] May 24, 2012)

(not designated for publication).

Applicant contends, among other things, that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance.

On April 16, 2014, we dismissed this application because it did not comply with the Rules of

Appellate Procedure. TEX . R. APP. P. 73.1. Before we dismissed it, Applicant filed an amended 2

application in Harris County that complied with the Rules of Appellate Procedure. We now

reconsider that dismissal on our own motion and deny this application. After reviewing the record,

we conclude that Applicant has not shown that there is a reasonable probability that the result would

have been different. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 694 (1984). Relief is denied.
