EX PARTE LADARYL DEWAYNE WADDLETON, Applicant

ON APPLICATIONS FOR WRITS OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NOS. 007-1291-02 & 007-1292-02

IN THE 7^TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM SMITH COUNTY

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 these applications for writs of habeas corpus. Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex. Crim. App. 1967). Applicant was convicted of two charges of aggravated robbery and sentenced to fifty years' imprisonment in each case. The Twelfth Court of Appeals affirmed his convictions. Waddleton v. State, 12-03-00409, 12-03-00410 (Tex. App.-Tyler, Sept. 8, 2004, pet. ref'd) (not designated for publication)

Applicant alleges, inter alia, that his lawyers were ineffective and that the trial court abused its discretion. While his applications were pending in the trial court, Applicant supplemented his applications on the appropriate form with three additional grounds for review. The trial court issued findings of fact and conclusions of law addressing the claims presented in Applicant's original filings and recommended that relief be denied, but made no findings addressing the supplemental grounds. Based on the trial court's findings of fact and conclusions of law as well as this Court's independent review of the entire record, we find that Applicant's claims are without merit. Therefore, we deny relief on all claims.
