9TH DISTRICT COURT OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY

Per Curiam.

ORDER

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

Applicant was convicted of capital murder on June 28, 2000, and sentenced to death. We affirmed the conviction and sentence on direct appeal. Swearingen v. State, 101 S.W.3d 89 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003). On March 11, 2002, applicant filed his initial application for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Article 11.071. We denied relief. Ex parte Swearingen, No. WR-53,613-01 (Tex. Crim. App. May 21, 2003). On January 22, 2007, applicant filed this subsequent application. We determined that six of his claims met the requirements for consideration of subsequent claims and remanded to the convicting court for resolution. Ex parte Swearingen, WR-53,613-04 (Tex. Crim. App. January 23, 2007). After conducting a hearing, the convicting court resolved the issues, entered findings of fact and conclusions of law. The convicting court recommended that relief be denied.

We have reviewed the record and the findings and conclusions of the convicting court. The convicting court's findings and conclusions are supported by the record, and we adopt them. The relief sought is denied. The stay previously entered in this case is lifted.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 16TH DAY OF JANUARY, 2008.
