IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

WR-69,637-02 EX PARTE BILL DOUGLAS GATES

ON SUBSEQUENT APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 0832407-A IN THE 262^ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

HARRIS COUNTY

Per Curiam.

O R D E R

This is a subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071, § 5.

Applicant was originally convicted of the offense of capital murder in November 2000. The jury answered the special issues submitted under Article 37.071 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, and the trial court, accordingly, set punishment at death. This Court affirmed Applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal. Gates v. State, AP-74,009 (Tex. Crim. App. Sept. 18, 2002) (not designated for publication). This Court denied Applicant's initial post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Gates, No. WR-69,637-01 (Tex. Crim. App. Aug. 20, 2008)(not designated for publication). Applicant's instant post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus was received in this Court on March 12, 2010.

Applicant presents six allegations. Applicant's claims fail to meet the dictates of Article 11.071,§5. Accordingly, we dismiss his application.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 5^TH DAY OF MAY, 2010.
