     'RELATOR as a.PRO-SE LITIGANT;coilfined-in the.'TDCJ-ID, acquires an already
insurmountable, nearly impossible, task to demonstrate RELATOR'S BURDEN OF PROOF, then
to add the diminishing factor that THE SMITH COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, LOIS ROGERS; THE
RELATOR'S ATTORNEY OF RECORD, STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN; THE CRIMINAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY, D.
MATT BINGHAM; and, A 24lst DISTRICT JUDGE JACK SKEEN, JR., PARTICIPANT'S herein, having

.. ' , The SMITH COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK, LOIS ROGERS' blatant violations of duties and lack
of requisite process has deprived and:ptejudiced the interests for RELATOR'S RIGHT to
include a fair and impartial review of facts through relevant material, and to REDRESS
THE GOVERNMENT in a judicial process, thatas designed and structured was to be
implemented as practiced without an oppressive, abusive, and grossly prejudicial
application to this RELATOR. The actions of the PARTICIPANT is totally lacking in even
a facsimile of reasonable procedural safegaurds that are CONSTITUTIONALLY sufficient
to protect against unjustified deprivations of RELATOR'S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND RIGHT
TO DUE PROCESS.
       PARTICIPANT'S acts of commission and/or omission, whether by calculated intent and
design, or combined error, incompetance, apathy and ignorance, has committed an ABUSE
OF DISCRETION TO CONCEAL MATERIAL FACTS RELEVANT to the HABEAS PROCEEDING DECISION.
       THE COURT OF CRIMINAL. APPEALS ALL THINGS CONSIDERED SHOULD REVERSE AND REMAND FOR
FURTHER PROCEEDINGS WITH COUNSEL APPOINTED. TO ASSIST RELATOR IN ALL MATTERS.

B. THE HIRED ATTORNEY OF RECORD, STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN, AS PARTICIPANT.

       The RELATOR'S GROUND FOR RELIEF was designated for future resolution per MEMORANDUM
ORDER OF THE 24lst JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, JUDGE JACK SKEEN, JR., presiding, and as
SPECIFIED was to be HELD BY WAY OF AFFIDAVIT ONLY             ~CERNING THE ALLEGATIONS OF

EFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL.       However, MEMORANDUM ORDER (See, ATTACHMENT A) was
made    p~rt   of STATE'S ANSWER IN OPPOSITION TO APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AND

                                                       4

                                   TO CONCEAL MATERIAL FACTS

DESIGNATION OF ISSUES, that had neitherbeenFILE STAMPED,,DATE ISSUANCE FOR SUBMISSION
had not been entered, NOR. HAD THE JUDGE SIGNED OR DATED THE ORDER . (See, ATTACHMENT A) •
FURTHERMORE, there was NO ISSUANCE FROM THE SMITH COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK,AS ORDERED IN
MEMORANDUM ORDER, AND AS REQUESTED BY RELATOR 02TOBER 15, 2014, in his "NOTICE OF CHANGE
OF ADDRESS", "REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF ELECTRONICALLY STORED PHOTOGRAPHIC / SOUND
RECORDINGS, CERTAIN ASSOCIATED POLICIES, AND INFORMATION," that included LETTERS TO:
D. MATT BINGHAM, CRIMINAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY SMITH COUNTY; AND, CLERK'S OF THE COURT:
24lst DISTRICT COURT C/O LOIS ROGERS, DISTRICT CLERK; and, COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS.
C/O ABEL ACOSTA, COURT CLERK; specifically designated at, "FOR THE 24lst POST CONVICTION
WRIT CLERK,"through entirety (See, CSS at pgs. 42- 46, esp. 43). Therefore, RELATOR'S
''AFFIDAVIT j ADDENDUM TO 11.07 APPLICATION IN RESPONSE TO: AFFIDAVIT OF STEN MARTI
LANGSJOEN," (See, CSS at pgs. 66·- 70) as REQUESTED IN DISTRICT CLERK LETTER was to be
filed in this HABEAS PROCEEDING as an ADDENDUM / REPONSE in said proceeding (See, CSS
at pg. 70, Id.), and does constitute evidence in the case as it has been introduced at
the hearing as ORDERED BY THE 24lst. DISTRICT COURT, "BY WAY OF AFFIDAVIT ONLY." SEE,
BADGETT v STATE, 79 SW 3d 58l(TEX. APP. -HOUSTON [ 14th DIST.) 2001) at 586 f.n. (2).
RELATOR was prejudiced by the SMITH COUNTY DISTRICT CLERK'S FAILURE TO RESPOND.WITH'A
FILING DATE, THUS, RELATOR'S "AFFIDAVIT/ ADDENDUM TO 11.07 APPLICATION IN RESPONSE TO:
AFFIDAVIT OF STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN," filed DECEMBER 02, 2014 (CSS, at pgs. 60- 70),
this included a letter to DISTRICT CLERK to file in the HABEAS PROCEEDING AS AN ADDENDUM
/RESPONSE IN SAID PROCEEDING (CSS, at pg. 70). This HABEAS PROCEEDING was no more than
"a·pre:requisite to presenting a point of error on appeal only when necessary to adduce
facts not in the record," with "types of evidence allowed at HEARING,.the court may
receive evidence by AFFIDAVIT or otherwise (See, TEX. R. APP. PROC.[TRAP) RULE(S) 21.2
&    21.7)~"   which was the ONLY MEANS POSSIBLE TO RELATOR as ORDERspecifies " .. defendant
is   NOT   to be brought back to SMITH COUNTY JAIL for a hearing," and the RELATOR'S
AFFIDAVIT IS TO BE CONSIDERED IN ALL THINGS RELATING TO THE HEARING AS SELF-
REPRESENTATION. (See, CSS, at pgs. 66- 70).
       FURTHERMORE, something is amiss in the DISTRICT CLERK and CRIMINAL DISTRICT
ATTORNEY of ORIGINAL AFFIDAVIT with an AMENDED NOTICE OF FILING, and the AFFIDAVIT
presented in STATE'S SUPPLEMENTAL ANSWER IN OPPOSITION TO APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS
CORPUS omitting the AMENDED NOTICE OF FILING (See, CSS, .at 47- 63, compare 82- 99).
RELATOR explains defects in C. THE SMITH COUNTY CRIMINAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY, D. MATT
BINGHAM.

                                   TO CONCEAL MATERIAL FACTS

    RELATOR contends it is well settled law in the STATE OF TEXAS that in a prosecution
of any individual an INFORMATION and/or INDICTMENT is needed to inform the individual
by notice of the charges in which the STATE is willing to prove in order to properly
convict him of the crime cited BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT of a jury of his peers in this
case. (CSS, INDICTMENT at pg. 27).
    ATTORNEY STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN was surely aware of the (2)·two charges pending in
RELATOR'S CASE, specifically, POSS CS PG l < lG, CAUSE NO. 241-0009-13 (CSS, at pgs 52 &
88); and, TAMPERING/ FABRICATE PHYS EVID W /INTENT TO IMPAIR, CAUSE NO. 241-0010-13
(CSS, at pgs. 56 & 9l). HOWEVER, ATTORNEY OF RECORD in order to be effective upon
investigation of INDICTMENT, by mere observation, one can see:.·
l) 'there·is.NO FILING DATE.NOR·SIGNATURE OF CLERK (DEPUTY)(CSS, at pq. 27);
2) INDICTMENT CERTIFICATION is incomplete, NO DATES, CLERK SIGNATURES, WITNESSES, ETC.

    RELATOR, as would be known by an ATTORNEY of such caliper as STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN,
as referenced in the introduction of) HIS AFFIDAVIT to the 24lst DISTRICT COURT, was
stopped for an ASSUMED TRAFFIC VIOLATION. HOWEVER, in accordance with the        I~DICTMENT,

assumedly issued by a GRAND JURY for CAUSE NO. 241-0010-13, was TO KNOW THAT AN
INVESTIGATION AND OFFICIAL PROCEEDING WAS PENDING AND IN PROGRESS, TO-WIT (IN OTHER WORDS
SPECIFICALLY): POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, .... , KNOWING THAT AN OFFENSE HAD
BEEN COMMITTED, TO-WIT: POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, ...• , WHEN YOU'RE BEING
STOPPED   FOR   AN ASSUMED TRAFFIC VIOLATION. This point of the INDICTMENT WAS NEVER PROVEN
AND THE VERDICT BY THE JURY IS CONTRARY TO THE LAW. AND THE EVIDENCE. ( CSS, at pg. 27) .
Add this to the KNOWN EDITED TAPES PRESENTED AS BRADY MATERIAL, WHEN IT IS QUITE CLEAR
THAT TWO (2) POLICE OFFICER DASH CAMERAS AND ONE (l) PARAMEDIC CAMERA WOULD SENSIBLY

held the suppression of the co-defendants confession was a violation of the DUE PROCESS

       The RECORD before the COURT .OF CRIMINAL APPEALs·, in regard to this ATTORNEY OF
RECORD filing and/or adoption of previous ATTORNEY'S PRE-TRIAL MOTIONS, IS DEVOID OF,
NOT ONLY THE FILINGS, BUT ANY RULING BY THE 24lst COURT, as to MOTION TO SUPRESS, MOTION
IN LAMINE, and/or ANY MOTION OR RULINGS as is sufficient to establish_ efficien<;;wand1
effectiveness of ANY ATTORNEY (CSS, CRIMINAL DOCKET SHEET [CDS] at pgs. 105-       110)~

       The 24lst COURT does however give a JUDICIAL ADMISSION and ..• "finds and concludes
that the. defendant WAS NOT CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF COCAINE UNDER THIS CAUSE     NUMBER~''

(See, WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSION OF LAW, CSS at pgs. 102 -
104,    esp~   pg 103; also ATTACHMENT Cat pgs. 1- 3 esp. pg. 2), and was found GUILTY OF
TAMPERING / FABRICATE PHYS. EVID. W / INTENT TO IMPAIR on 05/15/2013, CAUSE NO. 241-
0010~13.   (CSS, DEFENDANT'S EXHIBIT B, at pg. 91), (5) five days later on 05/20/2013 the
(POSSESSION CHARGE) POSS CS PG < lG, is DISMISSED, CAUSE NO. 241-0009-13 (CSS, DEFENDANT'S
EXHIBIT A, at pg. 88).
       The RECORD REVEALS there was NO POSSESSION CHARGE ESTABLISHED; NO HEARING, RULING,
OR FILING, OF A MOTION TO SUPPRESS; and, ONLY AT HEARING "STATE'S NOTICE OF ENHANCEMENT"
and, "NO PARAGRAPH OF ENHANCEMENT IN INDICTMENT" (CSS, AT ENTIRETY). DUE PROCESS, as to
THE ENHANCEMENT PARAGRAPH, cannot be deemed to be satisfied by MERE NOTICE AND HEARING,
to give NOTICE ONLY UPON A CONVICTION, which in truth is used as a means to substantially
deprive this RELATOR of AN INCREASED LIBERTY is a deliberate deception to the COURT;
ATTORNEY, AND THIS RELATOR TO DENY DUE PROCESS. Such a contrivance by the STATE to
procure additional imprisonment of a RELATOR is as inconsistent with the rudimentary
demands of justice as is obtaining of a like result by intimidation. Furthermore, had
ATTORNEY OF RECORD filed A MOTION TO SUPPRESS, and if the MOTION had been GRANTED, ANY
ALLEGED POSSESSION would not have been admitted into evidence. Because the ALLEGED
POSSESSION BY THIS RELATOR was the only direct evidence of THIS RELATOR'S POSSESSION,
it is unlikely that the ALLEGED EVIDENCE IS SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT THE CONVICTION WITHOUT
A POSSESSION CONVICTION, DUE IN PART TO THE ILLEGAL ARREST. AND SEARCH AND SEIZURE
PROCESS OF THE POLICE OFFICERS. The FACT that these THINGS ARE MISSING from the RECORD
REVEALS COUNSEL'S DEFICIENCY in this case BY THEIR OMISSION. Ineffectiveness will be
sustained only if the record affirmatively supports. such a claim. With that premise, a
record which includes such omissions as the failure to FILE A MOTION TO SUPPRESS and a
failure to object to the admission of evidence can still affirmatively support a claim
of ineffectiveness •. Further, the ATTORNEY OF RECORD had a process established by the
TEX~   R. APP. PROC. [TRAP] RULE 21, specifically:

                                             7

                                TO CONCEAL MATERIAL FACTS

RULE 21.2 WHEN MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL REQUIRED
    A MOTION FOR NEw TRIAL is a prerequisite to presenting a point of error on appeal
 only when necessary to adduce facts not filed in the record.

RULE 21.3 GROUNDS (IN PERTINENT PARTS)
    The DEFENDANT must be GRANTED a NEW TRIAL for "ANY'" of the following reasons:
 (e) when evidence tending to establish the DEFENDANT'S INNOCENCE has been intentionally
     destroyed or WITHHELD, thus preventing its production at trial; and,
 (h) when THE VERDICT is contrary to the law and the evidence.

    This-ATTORNEY OF RECORD has been anything but effective, ethical, or honest. Case
and point start with his viewing of the "EDITED TAPE OF ARREST" between my brother,
myself, and this attorney. Upon reviewing he did advise there were clear FEDERAL CIVIL
RIGHTS charges to pursue, thus his being hired. He has continued to promise numerous
issues that have been but vapor on his lips. In his letter DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, he
advises he would send-copies of all records in his possession, to include the "VIDEO
RECORDING OF RELATOR'S ARREST," as of the DATE OF THIS SUBMISSION there has been no
further contacts, legal or otherwise- ( See·i ATTACHMENT B, STEN M. LANGSJOEN LETTER, DATED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, 2 pqs.).
    For the reasons stated ATTORNEY OF RECORD, not onlv at trial, but in his AFFIDAVIT
before this OCURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS has chose to CONSPIRE WITH THE STATE, .as a
PARTICIPANT, to conceal the facts stated herein and throuqhout the record. Thus relief
should be GRANTED TO RELATOR.

    Thus far, RELATOR has proven the STATE has caused considerable delay of RELATOR'S

considered an unbias non-prejudicial ruling when, first the JUDGE has failed to consider

HIS INDIVIDUAL AND/OR PERSONALIZED!: PERCEPTION·,·: VIEWST. INSTINCTS/·: FACTS, FROM A PERSONAL
INVESTIGATION OF THE RECORD BY RULINGS·: OF RELATOR'S DOCUMENTATION ASSUMEDLY BEFORE
THE COURT, this brings into question the actual author of the "AFFIDAVIT OF STEN MARTI
LANGSJOEN."
        The AFFIDAVIT OF STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN:
1) RELATOR was never NOTIFIED, INFORMED, OR ADVISED OF the date LANGSJOEN AFFIDAVIT was
   to be filed, although REALTOR made ALL PERSONS AWARE OF NON-COMPLIANCE TO NOTIFY
   (See, ATTACHMENT A, CSS at pg. 41, and CSS at pgs. 42- 46,esp. pg 43);
2) AFFIDAVIT FILED 2014 NOV 14 P.M. 3:19, "NOTICE OF FILING PROPERLY SIGNED BY STEN
   LANGSJOEN"((See, CSS, at pg. 47), however, CERTIFICATION PAGE TO BE SIGNED BY A
   NOTARY PUBLIC BLANK (See, CSS, at pg. 51), WHY WOULD THE DISTRICT CLERK FILE A
   DOCUMENT NOT PROPERLY' SUBMITTED, UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER MOTIVES AT PLAY ? ;
3) AFFIDAVIT is clearly not faxed because there·;is NO DATE I NO TIME registered on the
   documentation, so a reasonable person would tend to believe it was either hand
   delivered or sent certified mail, although, certified mail would be questionable as
   STEN LANGSJOEN has it signed and dated "the 14th day of NOVEMBER, 2014"(See, CSS,
   at pg. 47), thisleaves only one alternative, that being it was hand delivered. NOW
   when you look at the AFFIDAVIT THROUGH ITS ENTIRETY on CSS, AT pg. ':63, it REVEALS
       11/14/2014 3:08 P.M., PRECISELY 11 MINUTES BEFORE FILING, WHILE THIS MIGHT BE
       POSSIBLE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES IT SEEM MIGHTY ':'PECULIAR'GIVEN THE PATTERN,

"TAMPERING WITH PHYSICAL EVIDENCE," is CONSTITUTIONALLY UNSOUND, DEMINISHES THE VERY

PROSECUTOR may have total immun:Utyit should not be upheld in a manner that appoints
them asc•a'•DICTORIALSHIP as JUDGE, ATTORNEY, JURY, AND'>EXECUTIONER. This DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S actions throughout this HABEAS PROCEEDING points to the extremes this OFFICE

D. SMITH COUNTY, 24lst DISTRICT COURT JUDGE, JACK SKEEN, JR., AS PARTICIPANT.

    The JUDGE is sworn to uphold the CONSTITUTIONS AND,LAWS of both, TEXAS AND THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.-To do anything less is a NEGLECT OF DUTY and JUDICIAL
MISCONDUCT, ESPECIALLY IF DONE SO UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW.
    The JUDGE has a DUTY AND OBLIGATION to be impartial and fair, make RIGHT-RULINGS,
DETERMINATIONS FROM THE RECORD ESTABLISHED, AND LAW PRESENTED, and not the mouth piece
and yes person of the STATE.
    JUDGE JACK SKEEN, JR., has NOT ACKNOWLEDGED, and /OR RULED ON, OR IN FAVOR OF, ANY
REQUEST, PETITIONS, MOTIONS, AFFIDAVITS, AMENDMENTS of this RELATOR, YET HAS PROMOTED
EVERY DETAIL OF ANYTHING THE STATE HAS PLACED BEFORE HIM, GRANT EVERY PRE-WRITTEN ORDER
WITHOUT   THOUGHT~OR   PERSONAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE DETAILS OF THIS CASE.
    MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE "WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSION OF
LAW," (See, CSS at pgs. 102,... 104, esp. 103; also, ATTACHMENT Cat pgs. 1 -:3, esp. 2)
with the signature of this JUDGE has become a JUDICIAL ADMISSION that the STATE has
failed in this prosecution to prove "BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT," when the RELATOR WAS
"NO!' CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF COCAINE" NOR WAS IT PROVEN THAT RELATOR HAD POSSESSION
OF COCAiNE, AS REQUIRED IN INDICTMENT. (CSS at pg. 27), THUS A DISMISSAL OF THE CHARGE
"FOSS CS PGl < lG" LISTED AS "DEFENDANT'S EXHIBIT A" IN ATI'ORNEY STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN
AFFIDAVIT( (See, DEFENDANT'S EXHIBIT A, CSS at pg. 88) ,AS:IT WAS NO!' PROVEN. RELATOR HAD
CARE, CUSTODY, OR CONTROL. (POSSESSION), AND FUR'.I'HERK)RE, IT WAS NO!' PROVEN ANY ALLEGED
COCAINE (SEE, INDICTMENT, CSS at pg. 27) WAS LAWFULLY SEIZED, NOR axJLD IT BE WITHOUT
A SEARCH WARRANT ISSUANCE. The COURT found and concluded that the defendant (RELATOR)
was NOT CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF COCAINE under this cause number (CSS at pg. 103;
ATTACHMENT Cat pg. 2), HAD THERE BEEN EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT TO ESTABLISH A LAWFUL SEIZURE
OF ANY COCAINE IN CAUSE NO. 241-0010-13, THER WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A DISMISSAL OF CAUSE
NO. 241-0009-13, which ATTORNEY OF RECORD, STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN, SHOULD HAVE INSISTED
TO PROSECUTE FIRST, INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF axJNSEL AS THE OUT COME \'«XJLD HAVE BEEN
A DISMISSAL OF ALL CHARGES.
    JUDGE JACK SKEEN, JR., with the approval of the STATE'S WRITTEN      "WRITOF~HABEAS

CORPUS FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSION OF LAW," has not only given a JUDICIAL ADMISSION
TO THE STATE'S FAILURE TO PROVE ALL, ESPECIALLY KEY ISSUE POSSESSION OF ASSUMED EVIDENCE
THAT WAS TO HAVE BEEN TAMPERED WITH, FACTS OF THE INDICTMENT BEYOND A REASONABLE BELIEF,
BY SAID APPROVAL THROUGH A NEGLECT OF JUDICIAL DUTY AND ORDER OF PROCEDURE, HAS NOW
ENJOINED INTO THE ABUSE OF DISCRETION THROUGH A CONSPIRACY TO CONCEAL MATERIAL FACTS.

                               SEPERATION OF POWERS IS
                              A REFUTATION OF CONSPIRACY

    RELATOR asserts there is still a need for checks and balances between the JUDICIAL
POWERS. In this particular case this was not accomplished. When. there is a need to act
and failure to act when there is A DUTY TO DO SO, IT IS A RECKLESS DISREGARD OF THIS
RELATOR'S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS coupled with the knowledge of the anticipated unjustifiable
DENAIL IN THIS HABEAS PROCEEDING due to THE CONSTITUTIONAL DEPRIVATIONS already incurred
IN PROCESSESOF THE PROSECUTIONS MALICIOUS.MISCONDUCT, DENIAL OF BRADY MATERIAL,
INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL, AND THE LIST GOES ON.
    The fact that there was NO EVIDENCE TO PROSECUTE THE RELATOR IN CAUSE NO. 241-0009-
13, "POSSESSION CHARGE", THAT WAS IDSMISSED, should be sufficient to establish that the
JURY'S VERDICT WAS CONTRARY TO THE INDICTMENT, and the ATTORNEY WAS TO FILE MOTION FOR
NEW TRIAL, JUDGE SHOULD HAVE DENIED THE VERDICT ''FOR FAILURE TO ESTABLISH POSSESSION
AS SPECIFIED IN THE INDICTMENT. The STATE FAILED TO PROVE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT THE
FACTS OF LAW ENTERED IN THE INDICTMENT TO PROVE RELATOR "TAMPERED WITH PHYSICAL EVIDENCE."
Therefore, "The legal procedures in this case were [not] proper and as provided by the
CONSTITUTION and TEXAS LAW." (See, ATTACHMENT C, WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FINDINGS OF FACT
AND CONCLUSION OF LAW at pg. 2, #8; also, CSS at pg. 103, #8).
    RELATOR has presented facts established from the record (as recalled) that show
whether by calculated intent and design, or by their combined error, incompetance,
apathy and ignorance, THEPARTICIPANT'S, have collectively, whether, either through acts
of commission and/or omission, have entered into a "CONSPIRACY" to subject RELATOR to
CONSTITUTIONAL DEPRIVATIONS AND INJURIES" thereby "INFLICTING GRIEVOUS LOSSES OF
RELATOR'S PROTECTED LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY INTEREST" by and through their blatant
violations and lack of requisite process before depriving RELATOR of those interest.
    PARTICIPANT'S COLLECTIVE ACTS, AS COMBINED IN THEIR CONSPIRACY and as utilized in
a judicial process, that ·1as designed, structured, implemented as currently practiced in
their oppressive, abusive, and grossly prejudicial application to the RELATOR is
totally lacking in even a facsimile of reasonable procedural safegaurds that are
CONSTITUTIONALLY sufficient to protect against unjustified deprivations of RELATOR'S
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND RIGHTS TO DUE PROCESS.
    PARTICIPANT'S COLLECTIVE ACTS / CONSPIRACY WILL RESULT IN VIOLATIONS THAT RISE TO
THE LEVEL OF A SUBSTANTIAL DEFECT. Thereby subjecting RELATOR to the deprivation of his
"FUNDAMENTAL DUE PROCESS RIGHTS." Resulting in ,"A COMPLETE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE" that
is inconsistant with fair procedure; to the    substantial~   detriment and injury of the
RELATOR.

            Maurice Cain v. State of Texas
            Cause No: 12-13-00178-CR
            12th Court of Appeals, Tyler District

 Dear Mr. Cain:

         In regard to the above, the Trial Court's staff sentto my office, in an envelope dated
 09-25-:14, yours dated 09-08-14 referencing a "Motion for Order Directing Defense Counsel
 to Release Defendant's Records."            ·              ·    ·

           I do not recall receiving any. requests
                                        .     ~.   from you for anything
                                                                 ..  .
                                                                         from the file prior to this
 time.
                    ..                                                     .

           .You do have a nghtto receive a copy ofybirr'file'illaterial.·in my . possessibn~ and I
·. will fo!Ward a r~dacted copy of same to you as soon as the file is r~trieved fr()m St()rage. I
   do not know     howtq .haridle the delivery of the video re~x)iding ofyoui arrest~ and 1 will
   check with youi pris()n facility staff on how this can bC handled.     .

         Upon receipt of your referenced letter, I. checked the website of the 12th Court of
 Appeals and I see· that the· judgment ·against you was modified and affirmed,. without the
 filing of a motion for rehearing and without the filingof a petition for discretionary review.
 I mention this because I do not have a copy of the Clerk's Record or of the Reporter's
 Record from your trial; however, copies of these records should be in the hands of the
 Appellate Clerk, the District Clerk, and your appellate attorney.

         This is some authority that would have supported your request to the appellate court
 - while it continued to have jurisdiction- for you to be provided access to the Reporter's
Record and of the Clerk's Record; however, the appellate court may now have lost
jurisdiction to hear such a request at this time. li1direct authority for a request to the
appellate court can be found in Kelly v. State of Texas, 436 S.W.3d 313 (Tex. Crim. App.
2014). The Kelly opinion dealt with an appellant's right to seek the appellate court's help in
receiving copies of the Reporter's Record and of the Clerk's Record while the appellant was
within his time limit to seek PDR relief; Since you are now out of your time limit to seek
further substantive relief from the appellate court, Kelly may not support the appellate court
hearing your motion, but it will not hurt to try.

        You can try two things to obtain the Reporter's Record and of the Clerk's Record: 1)
send a letter to your appellate attorney and ask him to send you these records; and 2) you
can try completing and fil.ing the enclosed form Motion for ProSe Access to the Appellate
Record. ·You must sign and date the document where fudicated and send the original to the
appellate clerk for filing: Twelfth Court of Appeals, 1517 West Front Street, Suite 354,
Tyler, Texas 75702, Attention: Cathy Lusk, Clerk]. The Certificate of Service should be
completed and copies of the Motion should be sent to your appellate attorney and to the
State's appellate attorney.

       Best of luck to you.
                                                      Respectfully,

                      WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
             FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSION OF LAW

      The defendant in Cause Number 241-00 I 0-13 has filed his first Application for
a Writ of Habeas Corpus. The State filed a Response. The Court hereby enters its
findings and conclusions.

      The Court takes judicial notice of all prior proceedings, reporter's records, the
documents and papers contained in the files, and the docket sheets in Cause Number
241-0010-13 and the first Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus in Cause Number
241-001 0-13-A.

      The Comi enters the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law:

l.    The defe~dant, MAURICE CAIN, was indicted in Cause No. 241 '"00 10-13,
      filed in the 24l~t District Court of Smith County, Te_xas, with the offense of
      Tampering with' Physical Evidence.

2.    The defendant pled "not guilty," and a jury trial was held: After thejury fou!ld '· ...
      him guilty, the defendant pleaded "tnie" to the State's notice of enhanceinent,
      and the jury· assessed punishment at twenty years ofiniprisonment and a
      $1 0~000:00 fine. On June 30, 2014, the .12 111 Couit of Appeals affirmed the , .
      conviction and sentence. Cain v. State, No, 12-13-00l78-CR, 2014 Tex.App.
      LEXIS 7037 (Tex.App.- Tyler June 30, 2014, no pet.)(not designated for
      publication).                                             .

4.    On September 3, 2014, the defendant filed his first Application for a Writ of
      Habeas Corpus. The State tiled a response seeking a designation of issues and
      an affidavit from the defendant's trial attorney, Mr. Sten Langsjoen. Said
      affidavit was subsequently provided to the Comt.

                                                                                                t,.j'
5.    In his writ application, the defendant complains that his trial attorney, Mr. Sten
      Langsjoen was ineffective for failing to obtain allegedly "unedited" copies of
      the video recordings ofthe traffic stop and arrest of the defendant

6.   The Court takes judicial notice of all prior proceedings and files. The Court
     further finds and concludes that:

     The basis of the claim under this writ application is that Mr. Langsjoen was
     ineffective for not obtaining copies of allegedly "unedited" videos that would
     have shown the jury at trial that "excessive force" was used in his arrest and
     which would also "suppm1 a finding that drugs was planted on the defendant.
        "

     Initially, the Court tinds and concludes that the defendant was not charged with
     possessing cocaine under this cause number. Further, Mr. Langsjoen in his
     affidavit asserts that he receiycd full discovery from the State. He further avers
     that the testimony and video evidence offered by the State at trial "adequately
     demonstrated the force used against Mr. Cain during his arrest, and provided
     the jury with a description of Mr. Cain's injuries and his subsequent medical_
     care for those injuries." The defendant has not argued in his writapplication;
     that the arrest video admitted at trial di-d not show the use of force against him
     by police, or that the jury was unaware of the force used by police in their
     attempt to preserve the evidence the defendant was trying to destroy) Mr.
     Langsjoen additionally states in his affidavit that the force shown on the trial
     video constituted mitigating evidence for the defendant.
            .   .      .

     The Courttinds and ~oncludes that the defendant has hotoffered any credible·
     evidence that Mr. Langsjoenwas ih~ffective for the reasons alleged under his
     ground f~r relief, m: that he s~tTered any hat:m therefrom.             .
                           '-           .

7.   _The Cqurt finds and concludes thatthe defendant's writ allegations consist·
      solely of the barest allegations with no valid basis in the record or the law.

8.   The legal procedures in this case were proper and as provided by the
     Constitution and Texas law.

                                        Page 2
 9.     The Court concludes that this Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus is not
        well taken and should in all things be DENIED.

· 10.   The Court after review of the application for habeas relief~ any answer, and the
        tile, finds and determines that there are no controverted previously unresolved
        facts material to the legality of the defendant's confinement.

                                       ORDER

       The Court orders the Clerk of the Court to immediately transfer to the Court
 of Criminal Appeals:
                                                                           ! .

II. APPLICANT'S ALLEGATIONS

      ApplicId.
      APPLICANT'S ATTORNEY, STEN MARTI LANGSJOEN, has coincidently, through his affidavit
given the exa'ct responses needed by DISTRICT ATTORNEY to play down the use of an
edited from original three (3) tapes their protrayal of the incidental arrest of an
excessive abuse of officers for a traffic stop. One would think from ATTORNEY LANGSJOEN'S
lengthy resume at the beginning of his affidavit had he benn affectively considering
his client, the APPLICANT, he might have chosen some language more in favor to the
APPLICANT. Instead, he chose to favor a response more in favor of the STATE'S abusive
actions for edited view of the incident depicted through the manipulated three (3)
potion DVD from three (3) seperate VIDEOS, two (2) police camera and one (1) PARAMEDIC
                         I
VIDEO, OMITTING RELEVANT PORTIONS VIABLE TO THE DEFENSE.
      DISTRICT CLERK OF SMITH COUNTY1 has refused to either/ submit to the 24lst TRIAL
COURT the documentation, stated herein for review and consideration by the court in the
HABEAS PROCEEDING, nor have they confirmed filing to this APPLICANT, a courtesy extended
to ATTORNEY'S but not for ANY PRO-SE LITIGANT.
      The DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE has intentionally sent their SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE
TO APPLICANT'S last unit in TDCJ, as they were fully aware that APPLICANT HAD BEEN MOVED.
      THEREFORE, when there is a need to act and failure to act when there is a duty to
DO SO, IT.IS A RECKLESS DISREGARD OF THIS APPLICANT'S RIGHTS coupled with the knowledge
of an antic::ipated unjustifiable denial in this HABEAS PROCEEIHNG due to the CONSTITUTIONAL·
DEPRIVATfONS
      .
             already incurr.ed in a    proc~ss    of prosecutorial misconduct, denial. of
BRADYMATERIAL, INEFFECTIVEASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL, AND DISTRICT CLERKS FAILURE TO PROPER
FILINGS TO THE COuRT-., \1ni NOTICE TO FILH~(;S THERE .rs CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE SUFFICIENT
TO ESTABLISH A "CONSPIRACY TO CONCEAL FACTS TO DENY APPLICANT A JUSTIFIABLE .HABEAS
RULING BY THE COURT UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
      The-facts established from. the record show whether by c::alculated intent and design/
or by .their combined error, incompetance, apathy and ignorance, have collectively,
whether, either through their acts of commission and/or omission, have entered into a
"CONSPIRACY" to subject APPLICANT to CONSTITUTIONAL DEPRIVATIONS AND ,INJURIES" thereby
"INFLICTING GRIEVOUS LOSSES OF      APPLIC~NT'S   PROTECTED LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY
INTEREST" by and through their blatant violations and lack of requisite process before
depriving APPLICANT of those interest.
      Their collective acts, as combined in their CONSPIRACY and as utilized in a judicial

                                                  4                                            I   o
process, that as designed, structured, implemented as currently practiced in their
oppressive, abusive, and grossly prejudicial application to the APPLICANT is totally
 lacking in even a facsimile of reasonable procedural safegaurds that are CONSTITUTIONALLY
sufficient to protect against unjustified .depriyation.s of APPLICANT'S fundamental RIGHTS
AND RIGHTS TO DUE PROCESS.
    Their COLLECTIVE ACTS I CONSPIRACY WILL RESULT IN VIOLATIONS THAT RISE TO THE LEVEL
             '
OF A SUBSTANTIAL DEFECT. Thereby subjecting APPLICANT to the deprivation of his
fundamental "DUE PROCESS RIGHTS." Resulting in a complete MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE that
. is inconsistant with fair procedure; to the substantial detriment and injury of the
APPLICANT.
