IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NOS. WR-73,292-01 & WR-73,292-02 EX PARTE JOHN WESLEY PATTERSON III, Applicant

ON APPLICATIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NOS. 416-8255-05 & 416-82554-05

IN THE 416^TH DISTRICT COURT FROM COLLIN COUNTY

Per curiam.

ORDER

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 these applications for writs of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of six counts of aggravated sexual assault, eight counts of indecency with a child by contact, and one count of indecency with a child by exposure. He was sentenced to fifteen life sentences, running concurrently. The Fifth Court of Appeals affirmed the convictions. Patterson v. State, Nos. 05-06-00808-CR & 05-06-00876-CR (Tex. App.- Dallas, Nov. 29, 2007) (not designated for publication).

Applicant's applications, which were supplemented while they were still pending in the trial court, alleged multiple instances of ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel and a due process ground based on the allegedly wrongful admission of evidence. The trial court issued findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended that relief be denied.

This Court has reviewed the record with respect to the allegations made by applicant. We agree with the trial judge's recommendation and adopt the trial judge's findings and conclusions. Based upon the trial court's findings and conclusions and our own review of the record, relief is denied.
