RICHARD HAMER                                  §

                        APPLICANT’S MOTION TO REINSTATE
                     APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

       NOW COMES RICHARD HAMER, Applicant, and submits this Motion to Reinstate

Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus and would show the Court the following:

                                                   I.

       On November 4, 2015, the Court issued an order dismissing this application for non-

compliance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 73.1 in that Applicant’s Memorandum

failed to include a Certificate stating the number of words in the document. Applicant has,

simultaneously with filing this motion to reinstate, refiled the Memorandum with both the

District Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals along with the required certificate.

       The certificate of compliance states that the Memorandum contains 3,591 words.

This is substantially below the 15,000.00 word limit set out in Rule 73.1(d).

                                                   II.

       This writ application has been fully considered and addressed by the district court.

Rather than require refiling of the writ application in the district court, Applicant requests

the Court reinstate the writ application in the Court of Criminal Appeals.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant prays that this motion be

                                               Respectfully submitted,

                                               ______________________________________
