            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 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 one count of evading arrest, four counts of aggravated assault, and one count of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver. He was sentenced to imprisonment for two years on the evading arrest count and for seven years on the remaining counts. He did not appeal the convictions.

            Applicant contends that the judgment and sentences are void, he received multiple punishments in violation of the Double Jeopardy Clause, and trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. Applicant’s sentence for evading arrest has discharged. The claims relating to this count are dismissed. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3(c). His remaining claims are denied. Accordingly, this application is dismissed in part and denied in part.
