WR-59,201-03 EX PARTE § IN THE DISTRICT COURT § § 148TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT § RICHARD VASQUEZ § NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS

COMES NOW the State of Texas, by and through its Assistant District Attorney for the 105th Judicial District of Texas, and pursuant to Texas Code of Criminal Procedure arts. 11.071 and 11.073, files this motion to lift stay of execution and to dismiss as abusive the present subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus.

By its order of April 20, 2015, this Court more than six months ago stayed Applicant’s execution, pending further order. No additional briefing was ordered, nor has the posture of the case changed in the interim. For the reasons expressed in its previously-filed motion to dismiss, the State respectfully requests the Court to revisit the issue of whether Applicant is entitled to relief in this matter.

PRAYER WHEREFORE, the State prays that the Court will lift stay of execution and dismiss as abusive the present subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus.

Respectfully submitted, /s/ Douglas K. Norman ___________________ Douglas K.
