OF TEXAS



NO. WR-11,882-06

EX PARTE EDWARD RAY ESPARZA, Applicant



ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 9406505 IN THE 263RD DISTRICT COURT

FROM HARRIS COUNTY

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 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. Esparza v. State, No. 14-97-00440-CR (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] Oct. 29, 1997) (unpublished).

Applicant alleges actual innocence, a Brady violation, and ineffective assistance of trial counsel. The trial court signed findings of fact and conclusions of law recommending that relief be denied and dismissed. We agree. Relief is therefore denied on Applicant's actual innocence claim and his remaining claims are dismissed under Section 4 of Article 11.07 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
