O R D E R

These are subsequent applications for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071, § 5. The cases have been consolidated for judicial economy.

In each case, a jury found the applicant guilty of the offense of capital murder. The jury answered the special issues submitted pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 37.071, and the trial court, accordingly, set the respective applicant's punishment at death. This Court affirmed each of the convictions and sentences on direct appeal. ⁽¹⁾ Each applicant has previously filed at least one post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus in the convicting court, and this Court has subsequently denied relief on each of those applications.

This Court has reviewed the subsequent applications at issue here and find that they do not meet the dictates of Article 11.071 § 5. Therefore, they are dismissed. See Ex parte Medellin, S.W.3d , No. AP-75,207 (Tex. Crim. App. Nov. 15, 2006).

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 7^TH DAY OF MARCH, 2007.
