Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. 50,306-02 EX PARTE ANTHONY VERDELLO DUNKINS, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. W99-47569-N IN THE 195^TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM DALLAS COUNTY

Per Curiam.

O R D E R

This is an application for a writ of habeas corpus which was transmitted to this Court by the clerk of the trial court pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of possession of a controlled substance as a habitual offender and sentenced to thirty years imprisonment. Applicant's conviction was affirmed in an unpublished opinion on November 15, 2000. Dunkins v. State, No. 05-99-01564-CR (Tex. App. -- Dallas 2000, pet. ref'd).

In the instant application, Applicant raises several grounds that attack the merits of his conviction. Additionally, Applicant claims that he was denied the right to be heard because the trial court failed to hold an evidentiary hearing to evaluate the allegations contained in his first application for a writ of habeas corpus.

This Court has reviewed Applicant's claim that he was denied the right to heard, and has determined that it is without merit. Therefore, it is denied. Applicant's remaining claims are barred from review; as such, they are dismissed. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07 § 4.
