283 F.3d 697 (2002)

Ronald Nelson DANIEL, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Janie COCKRELL, Director, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division, Respondent-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

February 25, 2002.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

George McCall Secrest, Jr. (argued), Ken J. McLean, Houston, TX, for Petitioner-Appellant.

Robert Brooks Moore, Asst. Atty. Gen. (argued), Austin, TX, for Respondent-Appellee.

Before GARWOOD, JOLLY and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.


GARWOOD, Circuit Judge:

Petitioner-appellant Ronald Nelson Daniel appeals the district court's denial of habeas corpus relief as to his Texas conviction for the aggravated sexual assault of a child. Daniel contends that: (1) his guilty plea was not voluntary because his lawyer assured him he would be sentenced by a different judge; and (2) such assurance constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. We affirm the district court's denial of relief.
