TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

COMES NOW, Abel Medrano, Texas Department of Criminal justice

tioned cause and moves this Honorable Court to Stay Proceedings,

not for reason of delay but, requesting due process and offers

Statement of the Case

On January 28, 2015, Movant filed Original Application for Writ

of Habeas Corpus, §11.07, §11.073, with the district clerk of Lam

pasas, Texas, Lampasas County, with Memorandum in Support.

On March 11, 2015, Movant's application was received by this

Court's Honorable Clerk and presented to this Court.

On March 24, 2015, Movant received the Clerk's notice of same.
On March 30, 2015, Movant sent correspondence to the district

clerk requesting a copy of the State's Answer be forwarded immed

iately.

To date, Movant has not received a copy of the requested, nor

has he received notice that the State filed an answer in response

to his application.

Due Process

Movant is requesting he be afforded due process guaranteed to

him by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

and Article 1, subsections 10 and 19, on the Texas Constitution,

in the event the State has in fact filed an answer in response to

his application, but has failed to inform and forward a copy of

same, in violation of due process.

Conclusion

Movant requests an opportunity to file' an object ion and refute

any and all assertions and/or contentions made by the State and

contained in their answer in response to his Application for Writ

of Habeas Corpus, §11.07, §11.073. Movant requests that the State

be compelled to forward Movant a copy of same, if one in fact has

been filed with his application in this Court. Movant is entitled

to due process in this proceeding and requests an opportunity to

file an objection, refuting any and all assertions and/or conten

tions within the State's answer. Movant requests that the time

frame to be reinstated to reflect the proper time to begin the

date Movant receives the requested copy of the State's answer. In
the event the State has failed to file an answer pursuant to the

Texas Code of Criminal Procedure(CCP) art. §11. 07(3)(a ), only

filing Movant's application by itself, Movant requests this Hon

orable Court to consider this Motion to Stay Proceedings, as moot

and to grant his application for Writ of Habeas Corpus, §11.07,

§11.073.

Prayer

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Movant respectfully requests

this Honorable Court to consider Movant's Motion to Stay Proceed

ings and to issue an Order this Honorable Court deems appropriate
