On Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, Cause No. F79-10925-R in the 265th District Court from Dallas County.


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 writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex.Crim.App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of aggravated rape and sentenced to life imprisonment. In the instant application, Applicant raises a ground of relief based on post-conviction testing of DNA under Chapter 64. The State and the trial court both recommend granting relief. This Court has reviewed Applicant's claim pertaining to the post-conviction DNA proceedings, and has determined that the writ of habeas corpus is not available for his claim of error in those proceedings. See Ex parte Baker, 185 S.W.3d 894 (Tex.Crim.App. 2006); Ex parte Suhre, 185 S.W.3d 898 (Tex.Crim.App. 2006). Therefore, the claim is denied.
