Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-77,130-01 EX PARTE PABLO MORENO III, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 22340A IN THE 42ND DISTRICT COURT

FROM TAYLOR 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 a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and sentenced to six years' imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

Applicant contends that he was denied his confrontation rights at a preliminary hearing. Tex. Gov't Code § 508.2811; Morrissey v. Brewer, 408 U.S. 471, 487 (1972). Based on our own independent review of the record, we have determined that this claim is without merit. Relief is denied. Applicant also contends that in an aggravated assault case pending in Taylor County, he is being denied a speedy trial, effective assistance of counsel, and the presumption of innocence. These claims are dismissed. We do not have jurisdiction under Article 11.07 unless a felony conviction is final. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 3(a). This application is denied in part and dismissed in part.
