IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS





NO. WR-54,646-16


EX PARTE RASHAAN KEVIN GOLDEN, Applicant





ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
CAUSE NO. 241-0138-01 IN THE 114TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM SMITH COUNTY



Per curiam.


O R D E R


	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 injury to a child
and sentenced to sixty years' imprisonment.
	In his present application, Applicant raises a single ground.  This application, however,
presents a more serious question.  This Court's records show that Applicant has filed six previous
applications that have been dismissed under Article 11.07, § 4 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. 
It is obvious from the record that Applicant continues to raise issues that have been presented and
rejected in previous applications or that should have been presented in previous applications.  The
writ of habeas corpus is not to be lightly or easily abused.  Sanders v. U.S., 373 U.S. 1 (1963); Ex
parte Carr, 511 S.W.2d 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1974).  Because of his repetitive claims, we hold that
Applicant's claims are barred from review under Article 11.07, § 4, and are waived and abandoned
by his abuse of the writ.  This application is dismissed.
	Therefore, we instruct the Honorable Louise Pearson, Clerk of the Court of Criminal
Appeals, not to accept or file the instant application for a writ of habeas corpus, or any future
application pertaining to this conviction unless Applicant is able to show in such an application that
any claims presented have not been raised previously and that they could not have been presented
in a previous application for a writ of habeas corpus.  Ex parte Bilton, 602 S.W.2d 534 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1980).
	Copies of this order shall be sent to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Correctional
Institutions Division and Pardons and Paroles Division.
