EX PARTE DOUGLAS A. FELDMAN
ON APPLICATION FOR POST-CONVICTION WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
FROM CAUSE NO. W-9900068-J(B)
IN THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT COURT #3
DALLAS COUNTY
Per Curiam .
ORDER
This is a subsequent application for a writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071, § 5.
In August 1999, a jury found 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 applicant's punishment at death. This Court affirmed applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal. Feldman v. State, 71 S.W.3d 738 (Tex. Crim. App. 2002). Applicant filed his initial post-conviction application for a writ of habeas corpus in the convicting court on May 29, 2001. This Court denied applicant relief. Ex parte Feldman, No. WR-66,691-01 (Tex. Crim. App. Apr. 18, 2007)(not designated for publication). Applicant's first subsequent application was filed in the trial court on March 19, 2013. However, this application was not forwarded to this Court until July 5, 2013.
Applicant appears to present more than sixty-three claims in his application. Applicant's allegations fail to meet the dictates of Article 11.071, § 5. Accordingly, we dismiss the application as an abuse of the writ without considering the merits of the claims. Further, the portion of applicant's pleading that purports to be a clemency petition and the portion that purports to be a civil rights lawsuit brief are not properly before this Court and will not be entertained.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 11th DAY OF JULY, 2013. Do Not Publish
