The opinion

IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

NO. AP-76,481

EX PARTE KENNETH GLENN MILNER, Applicant

ON APPLICATION FOR A WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

CAUSE NO. 2405 IN THE 100TH DISTRICT COURT

FROM CARSON 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 attempted capital

murder and sentenced to imprisonment for life. He did not appeal his conviction.

Applicant contends, among other things, that his conviction violates the double jeopardy

prohibition on multiple punishments for the same offense. Brown v. Ohio , 432 U.S. 161, 165 (1977);

Saenz v. State , 166 S.W.3d 270, 272 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). We order that this application be filed

and set for submission to determine whether Applicant’s claim is procedurally barred under Article

11.07, § 4 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and whether a person can be sentenced to multiple

punishments for attempting to commit multiple capital murders “pursuant to the same scheme or

course of conduct.” Tex. Pen. Code § 19.03(a)(7)(B). The parties shall brief these issues.

The trial court shall determine whether Applicant is indigent. If Applicant is indigent and

desires to be represented by counsel, the trial court shall appoint an attorney to represent him. Tex.

Code Crim. Proc . art 26.04. The trial court shall send to this Court, within 60 days of the date of

this order, a supplemental transcript containing either the order appointing counsel or a statement

that Applicant is not indigent. All briefs shall be filed with this Court within 90 days of the date of

this order.
