                                  TRIAL COURT ORDER

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

        NOW COMES the Applicant, WILLIAM ALAN KENNEDY, and submits

these Objections to the Order of the Trial Court entered May 26, 2015, adopting the

State's Proposed Memorandum, Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and

recommending that Applicant's writ application be denied:

                                                           I.

        The trial court has entered no independent findings or conclusions and engaged

Applicant's Objections to Trial Court Order - Page 1
in no analysis of the arguments raised in this writ application. It is the duty of the

trial court to issue its own findings and make its own decision and not to simply let

the state make the decision for the court.

                                                        II.

        Applicant filed a lengthy Memorandum in Support of Application for Writ of

Habeas Corpus along with his writ application. The arguments contained within that

memorandum were thoroughly researched and presented to the court. Applicant re-

urges those arguments as part of his objections to the trial court's order.

        WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant prays that the Court

of Criminal Appeals grant his requested relief.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                                  ~·~--~~~- ·~--
