EX PARTE BRITT ALLEN RIPKOWSKI
ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. 773801 IN THE 248 DISTRICT COURT HARRIS COUNTY Per Curiam. ORDER
This is a subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071, § 5.
On August 4, 1999, applicant was convicted of the offense of capital murder. The jury answered the special issues submitted pursuant to Article 37.071, TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC., and the trial court, accordingly, set punishment at death. This Court affirmed applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal. Ripkowski v. State, 61 S.W.3d 378 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001), cert. denied, 539 U.S. 916 (2003). This Court denied Applicant's initial post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Ripkowski, No. WR-65,238-01 (Tex. Crim. App. Nov. 22, 2006)(not designated for publication). Applicant's instant post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus was received in this Court on June 13, 2016.
Applicant presents forty-two allegations. Applicant's claims fail to meet the dictates of Article 11.071, §5. Accordingly, we dismiss his application as abuse of the writ.
IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 24 DAY OF AUGUST, 2016. Do Not Publish
