               MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE APPLICATION
                     FOR WRIT OF PROHIBITION

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

      COMES NOW KEVIN RICHARD JOLIET, by and through Wes Ball, his

attorney of record and files this Motion for Leave to File Application for Writ of

Prohibition and in support thereof would show the Court as follows:

                                            I.

      Contemporaneous with the filing of this motion is being filed movant

Joliet’s Application for Writ of Prohibition. This Court has jurisdiction for such

writ application pursuant to Article 5, §5(c) of the Texas Constitution which

provides:

      Subject to such regulations as may be prescribed by law, the Court of
      Criminal Appeals and the Judges thereof shall have the power to issue the
      writ of habeas corpus, and, in criminal law matters, the writs of mandamus,
      procedendo, prohibition, and certiorari.

This case is a criminal law matter involving the proposed incarceration of a felony

probationer. The writ application complains of future proposed actions by a trial

court and thus a writ of prohibition is the appropriate legal process to seek relief.

                                            1
       The writ application is being filed as the Relator has no adequate remedy at

law, is clearly entitled to relief.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, movant Joliet request leave of

this Court to file his Application for Writ of Prohibition and for such other and

further relief to which he may be entitled.

                                       Respectfully submitted,
