IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS NO. WR-64,327-01 EX PARTE KESHA LATRICE JENKINS, Applicant ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 05-01970-CRF IN THE 361ST DISTRICT COURT FROM BRAZOS COUNTY Per curiam. ORDER 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 one count of robbery and one count of theft. She was sentenced to ten years imprisonment for the robbery and two years state jail imprisonment for the theft. In her present application, Applicant raises five grounds. This application, however, presents a more serious question. This Court s records reflect that Applicant has filed eight prior applications pertaining to these convictions. It is obvious from the record that Applicant continues to raise issues 2 that have been presented and rejected in previous applications or that should have been presented in previous applications. The writ of habeas corpus is not to be lightly or easily abused. Sanders v. U.S., 373 U.S. 1 (1963); Ex parte Carr, 511 S.W.2d 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974). Because of her repetitive claims, we hold that Applicant s claims are barred from review under Article 11.07, ยง 4, and are waived and abandoned by her abuse of the writ. This application is dismissed. Therefore, we instruct the Honorable Abel Acosta, Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals, not to accept or file the instant application for a writ of habeas corpus, or any future application pertaining to these convictions unless Applicant is able to show in such an application that any claims presented have not been raised previously and that they could not have been presented in a previous application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Bilton, 602 S.W.2d 534 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980). Copies of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division. Filed: May 14, 2014 Do not publish
