EX PARTE QUINCY DESHAN BUTLER
On Appeal from the 240th District Court
Fort Bend County, Texas
Trial Court Case No. 06-DCR-044367
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant Quincy Deshan Butler, acting pro se, attempts to appeal the
dismissal of his application for a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus by the
Court of Criminal Appeals because he has discharged his sentence. Our Court,
however, lacks jurisdiction to review the dismissal of a habeas application by the
Court of Criminal Appeals. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 11.07, § 3(a)
(West 2015) (“After final conviction in any felony case, the writ must be made
returnable to the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas at Austin, Texas”); TEX.
CONST. art. V, § 5(a) (unless provided otherwise, Court of Criminal Appeals has
final appellate jurisdiction in criminal cases). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal
for lack of jurisdiction. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Bland, and Brown.
Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
