*1 IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. WR-10,359-39

EX PARTE JERRY WAYNE RUMPH, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS CAUSE NO. FR-56,988-K IN THE 264th DISTRICT COURT FROM BELL COUNTY

Per curiam .

O R D E R

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 a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young , 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of burglary of a

habitation and sentenced to seventy-five years’ imprisonment.

In his present application, Applicant raises one ground. This application, however, presents a more serious question. This Court’s records reflect that Applicant has filed six prior applications pertaining to this conviction. It is obvious from the record that Applicant continues to raise issues that have been presented and rejected in previous applications or that should have been presented

2 in previous applications. The writ of habeas corpus is not to be lightly or easily abused. Sanders v. United States , 373 U.S. 1 (1963); Ex parte Carr , 511 S.W.2d 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974). Because of his repetitive claims, we hold that Applicant’s claims are barred from review under Article 11.07, § 4, and are waived and abandoned by his abuse of the writ. This application is dismissed.

Therefore, we instruct the Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals not to accept or file the instant application for a writ of habeas corpus, or any future application pertaining to this conviction unless Applicant is able to show in such an application that any claims presented have not been raised previously and that they could not have been presented in a previous application for a writ of habeas corpus. Ex parte Bilton , 602 S.W.2d 534 (Tex. Crim. App. 1980).

Copies of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
