Opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-22,587-04 EX PARTE RUSSELL VERNON READO, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 42121 IN THE 279TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM JEFFERSON 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 murder and sentenced to imprisonment for life. The Ninth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Reado v. State, No. 09-84-00036-CR (Tex. App.-Beaumont Nov. 27, 1984, pet. ref'd).

Applicant contends that he was denied due process because he did not receive timely notice that he was eligible for release to parole and because he was not interviewed until twelve years after becoming eligible for release. On August 24, 2011, we dismissed his application because it was not verified. Ex parte Rendon, 326 S.W.3d 221 (Tex. Crim. App. 2010). We now reconsider that dismissal on our own motion. Based on our own independent review of the record, we conclude that Applicant's claim is without merit. Accordingly, relief is denied.
