Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether the CCA's otherwise unexplained ruling that abuse of the writ under Article 11.071, section 5, precluded post-conviction relief is an adequate and independent state-law ground for the judgment, where the CCA's application of abuse of the writ is interwoven with the federal law that governs the petitioner's claim?
2. Whether this case should be held pending this Court's decision in Glossip v. Oklahoma?
