Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-20,577-32

EX PARTE JAIME FLETCHER, AKA JAMIE FLETCHER, JR., Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. D-1-DC-85-079142-P IN THE 299TH DISTRICT COURT FROM TRAVIS COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER

Applicant was convicted of attempted aggravated sexual assault and sentenced to sixty years’

imprisonment. The Third Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Fletcher v. State, No. 03-86-

00088-CR (Tex. App. — Austin Jan. 7, 1987) (not designated for publication). Applicant filed this

application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded

it to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07.

We have previously dismissed six subsequent applications in this cause. See TEX . CODE

CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07, § 4. It is obvious from the record that Applicant continues to raise grounds

that were previously rejected on the merits or that should have been raised in previous applications. 2

We hold that Applicant has abused the writ and filed a frivolous lawsuit. See Ex parte Jones, 97

S.W.3d 586 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003); TEX . GOV ’T CODE § 498.0045(a-1). Should Applicant file

future habeas applications in this cause, we will not consider the merits of his applications unless

he shows that the factual or legal basis of his grounds was unavailable in a previously filed

application. This application is dismissed.

Copies of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional

Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
