IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-77,638-34
EX PARTE NKRUMAH LUMUMMBA VALIER, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 1030025-J IN THE 184TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM HARRIS COUNTY
Per curiam.
ORDER
Applicant was convicted of sexual assault and sentenced to two years’ imprisonment. He did
not appeal his conviction. Applicant filed this application for a writ of habeas corpus in the county
of conviction, and the district clerk forwarded it to this Court. See TEX . CODE CRIM . PROC. art.
11.07.
We have previously dismissed five subsequent applications in this cause. See TEX . CODE
CRIM . PROC. art. 11.07, § 4. It is obvious from the record that Applicant continues to raise grounds
that were previously rejected on the merits or that should have been raised in previous applications.
We hold that Applicant has abused the writ and filed a frivolous lawsuit. See Ex parte Jones, 97
2
S.W.3d 586 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003); TEX . GOV ’T CODE § 498.0045(a-1). Should Applicant file
future habeas applications in this cause, we will not consider the merits of applications unless he
shows that the factual or legal basis of grounds was unavailable in a previously filed application.
This application is dismissed.
Copies of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice–Correctional
Institutions Division and the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
