Elliott Williams v. James A. Collins, Director, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, and Dan Morales, Attorney General

Opinion

ON PETITION FOR REHEARING

Before DUHÉ and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges, and BLACK, 1 District Judge. PER CURIAM:

We disposed of this appeal by reversing the grant of habeas relief and dismissing the habeas petition. On application for rehearing, Petitioner asks for a remand to permit the district court to address his claim that he had ineffective assistance of counsel. After finding the indictment insufficient, the district court did not reach the issue of effectiveness of counsel. We deny the application for rehearing except to the limited extent that it requests remand rather than dismissal. See Burley v. Bastrop Loan Co., 590 F.2d 160, 161 n. 3 (5th Cir. 1979) (remanding for further proceedings on Plaintiffs alternative theory for summary judgment, after reversing summary judgment on the theory adopted by the district court).

APPLICATION DENIED IN PART AND GRANTED IN PART to the extent that petition for habeas relief is REMAND-' ED for further proceedings.
