Shockley, Stephen Coleman ( 2016 )

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. WR-84,823-02
EX PARTE STEPHEN COLEMAN SHOCKLEY, Applicant
ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. W366-82727-09-HC IN THE 366TH DISTRICT COURT
FROM COLLIN COUNTY
ORDER
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 continuous sexual
abuse of a child and sentenced to ninety-nine years’ imprisonment. The Fifth Court of Appeals
affirmed his conviction. Shockley v. State, No. 05-12-01018-CR (Tex. App.—Dallas July 30, 2014).
On September 21, 2016, this Court issued an order, remanding the instant application back
to the 366th District Court of Collin County for an affidavit from counsel and findings of fact and
conclusions of law from the trial court. It has now been brought to our attention that the Collin
County District Clerk filed counsel’s affidavit and the trial court’s findings of fact and conclusions
of law with this Court on August 4, 2016, prior to the issuance of the remand order. Therefore, the
2
State has filed a motion requesting reconsideration of our remand order issued on September 21,
2016. Because this Court has already received the documents ordered, the request is granted.
We now withdraw the order dated September 21, 2016. Based on the trial court’s findings
of fact and conclusions of law, as well as this Court’s independent review of the record, we find that
Applicant’s claims are without merit. Therefore, we deny relief.
