Per curiam.

O P I N I O N



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 robbery and sentenced to forty years' imprisonment. The Fifth Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction. Jordan v. State, No. 05-95-01244-CR (Tex. App.-Dallas, June 19, 1997, pet. ref'd).

Applicant contends that he is being unlawfully restrained on a parole violation, that his counsel at a parole hearing was ineffective, and that his robbery conviction is unconstitutional. The trial court made findings of fact and conclusions of law and recommended that we deny Applicant's claims relating to his parole and dismiss his claim relating to his robbery conviction. We agree. Accordingly, this application is denied in part and dismissed in part.
