i At>el Acosta, Clerk

ON 22 JULY 2015 THIS COURT AFFIRMED THE ILLEGAL CONVICTION

OF THIS APPELLANT WITHOUT PROPER JURISDICTION.THE TRIAL RECORDS WERE

FOUND TO BE INCOMPLETE .THE: WASt. NO SENTENCING PHASE ANYWHERE PRESENT

IN THE COURT REPORTER'S RECORD. THE COURT TRIED TO FABRICATE A MOCK

SENTENCING HEARING...TO GAIN THE MUCH NEEDED JURISDICTION TO BE ABLE

TO RULE ON THIS APPEAL. THIS HEARING WAS STAGED OUTSIDE THE PROPER

PARAMETERS OF THE TEXAS RULES OF COURT. FURTHER,THE ATTORNEY WHICH

THIS COURT APPOINTED FOR THIS APPELLANT WAS NOT THE ONE HE HAD AT

TRIAL....AND THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY WAS ALSO NOT THE SAME.

THERE, THE TRIAL COURT JUDGE WAS THE ONLY MEMBER OF THAT

ORIGINAL BOLLOCKS/SHAM OF A SENTENCING HEARING.AND BEING THE ONLY

WITNESS OF THAT ORIGINAL COURT HEARING..-THE APPELLANT TAKES EXCEPTION

AND ASSERTS THAT HE WAS ENTITLED TO A NEW TRIAL AT THAT POINT.

WHICH TO PERFECT HIS PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW AS THIS

APPELLANT IS NOW INCARCERATED... AND IS ONLY ALLOWED LIMITED ACCESS

TO THE PRISON'S ONLY UNIT LAW LIBRARY. ALSO...THE APPEALS COURT RELIED

ON SOME TWENTY (20) CASE PRECEDENT CITATIONS WITH ADDITIONAL AUTHOR

ITIES IN ITS MEMORANDUM OPINION.IT WILL TAKE MANY VISITS TO THIS UNIT

LAW LIBRARY TO GET AND REACH AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE CASE LAW.

(l|
Ill

NEXT,THE CERTIFIED LETTER FROM MY APPEALS ATTORNEY... DID NOT

REACH MY HANDS UNTIL THE LAST WEEK OF JULY. I ADVISE THIS COURT THAT

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY 'ZERO' KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW...I CANNOT ACCURATELY

COMPREHEND/DISCERN LEGAL RULINGS AND CITATIONS THERE IS VERY LITTLE,

THAT I CAN ACTUALLY BRIEF AND FILE WITH THE COURT.HOWEVER... I MUST

TRY...BECAUSE...MY CONVICTION WAS WORTHY OF BEING OVER-TURNED DUE TO

THIS MISSING AND INCOMPLETE RECORD. NO STAGED MOCK-UP CAN COVER THAT

MISSING TRIAL PORTION. I AM ILLEGALLY RESTRAINED OF MY LIBERTY.

IV
