IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-75,952-01
EX PARTE JOHN URANGA III, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 44564 IN THE 78TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM WICHITA 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 of a controlled substance and sentenced to imprisonment for life. He was also convicted of misdemeanor theft and assessed a $500.00 fine. The Court of Appeals affirmed his possession of a controlled substance conviction. Uranga v. State, No. 06-07-00017-CR (Tex. App.-Texarkana Feb. 21, 2008, pet. granted).
Applicant contends that the State failed to disclose evidence in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), that his rights under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments were violated, and that trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. Based on our own independent review of the record, we conclude that Applicant's claims relating to his possession of a controlled substance conviction are without merit and are denied. His claims relating to his misdemeanor theft conviction are dismissed. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 11.07, § 2. Accordingly, this application is denied in part and dismissed in part.
