                                              §

RICHARD VASQUEZ                               §   NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS

       COMES NOW the State of Texas, by and through its Assistant District

Attorney for the 105th Judicial District of Texas, and pursuant to Texas Code

of Criminal Procedure arts. 11.071 and 11.073, files this motion to lift stay

of execution and to dismiss as abusive the present subsequent application for

writ of habeas corpus.

       By its order of April 20, 2015, this Court more than six months ago

stayed Applicant’s execution, pending further order. No additional briefing

was ordered, nor has the posture of the case changed in the interim. For the

reasons expressed in its previously-filed motion to dismiss, the State

respectfully requests the Court to revisit the issue of whether Applicant is

entitled to relief in this matter.

                                          2
                                PRAYER

      WHEREFORE, the State prays that the Court will lift stay of

execution and dismiss as abusive the present subsequent application for writ

of habeas corpus.

                               Respectfully submitted,

                               /s/ Douglas K. Norman
