WR-78,970-01 EX PARTE CHARLES PAUL RICKMAN, Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 02-0170X IN THE 71ST DISTRICT COURT FROM HARRISON COUNTY Per curiam. OPINION 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 pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery and was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment. He did not appeal his conviction.

The federal judgment requires the federal sentence to begin when the state sentence expires. Applicant is entitled to relief. Ex parte Huerta, 2 692 S.W.2d 681 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985).
