EX PARTE CHRISTOPHER ANTHONY YOUNG

ON APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS IN CAUSE NO. 2005-CR-1183 IN THE 187^TH DISTRICT COURT FROM BEXAR COUNTY

---

Per Curiam. HERVEY, J., not participating. ORDER

   This is a post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to the provisions of Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 11.071.

In February 2006, a jury convicted Applicant of the offense of capital murder. The jury answered the special issues submitted under Article 37.071 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, and the trial court, accordingly, set punishment at death. This Court affirmed Applicant's conviction and sentence on direct appeal. Young v. State, 283 S.W.3d 854 (Tex. Crim. App. 2009).  

Applicant presents twenty allegations in his application in which he challenges the validity of his judgment and sentence. The trial court held an evidentiary hearing and entered findings of fact and conclusions of law recommending that the relief sought be denied.

This Court has reviewed the record with respect to the allegations made by applicant. We adopt the trial judge's findings and conclusions. We also note that grounds thirteen, fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, and twenty are procedurally barred. See Ex parte Goodman, 816 S.W.2d 383 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Ex parte Banks, 769 S.W.2d 539 (Tex. Crim. App. 1989). Therefore, based upon the trial court's findings and conclusions and our own review, we deny relief.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 5^TH DAY OF JUNE, 2013.
