ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS IN CAUSE NO. 1195044 IN THE 230 TH DISTRICT COURT OF HARRIS COUNTY
ORDER
Per curiam.
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.
Unless otherwise specified, all references to Articles refer to the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.
In June 2009, a jury convicted Applicant of the offense of capital murder for the death of his estranged wife. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 19.03(a). The jury answered the special issues submitted under Article 37.071 and the trial court, accordingly, set punishment at death. This Court affirmed Applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal, denied habeas relief on his initial Article 11.071 writ application, and dismissed his first subsequent Article 11.071 application as an abuse of the writ. Fratta v. State, No. AP-76, 188 (Tex. Crim. App. Oct. 5, 2011) (not designated for publication); Ex parte Fratta, No. WR-31, 536-04 (Tex. Crim. App. Feb. 12, 2014) (per curiam) (not designated for publication); Ex parte Fratta, No. WR-31, 536-05 (Tex. Crim. App. June 30, 2021) (per curiam) (not designated for publication).
This Court received this, Applicant's second subsequent Article 11.071 application for a writ of habeas corpus on May 4, 2022. Applicant, who is proceeding pro se, appears to make the same challenges to his capital murder conviction as he made in his first subsequent Article 11.071 application (our -05). Applicant also appears to urge us to re-open his -05 application.
We have reviewed the subsequent application and find that Applicant has failed to satisfy the requirements of Article 11.071, § 5(a). Accordingly, we dismiss the subsequent application as an abuse of the writ without considering the merits of the claims, and we decline to re-open his -05 application.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
