                            01-15-00066 CV

                (832) 620-9345
                   TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

       The Appellant, Patrick Olajide Akinwamide files his motion to the Court for an
order to include the appeal from the Trial Court's order of October 3,2014 in
Appellate Case No. 01-15-00066-CV.
      On January 15,2015 a letter of assignment from the 80th District Court Trial
Court Clerk and a copy of the notice of appeal filed by the Appellant, Patrick Olajide
Akinwamide in the Trial Court was received by the First Court ofAppeals and
docketed as Cause No. 01-15-00066-CV.

      Appellant's notice of appeals filed with the District Clerk on November 25,
2014 includes appeals from the orders of October 3,2014 and November 4,2014. See
attachment 'A' and hereby incorporated by reference.
      According to the First Court ofAppeals order on motions dated March 3,2015,
the Appellant's appeal from the Trial Court's order of October 3,2014 was not
included in the Appellant's appeals, pursuant to the Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code §§
11.101,11.102 and the mandate ofthe Court issued on May 13,2013.

      First, there was no notice filed by any party with the clerk and served on
Plaintiff, Patrick Olajide Akinwamide and other parties in Cause No. 97-48526 stating
that the Plaintiff I a vexatious litigant required to obtain permission under CPRC
§11.102. See CPRC %\ 1.1035(a).

      Second, Appellant, Patrick Olajide Akinwamide obtained an order from the
appropriate local Administrative Judge described by CPRC §11.102(a) permitting the
filing of appeals from the orders ofOctober 3,2014 and November 4,2014. See
CPRC§11.1035(b); See also, attachment 'B' hereby incorporatedby reference.

      Third, the Trial Court, and the Trial Court's Clerk (District Clerk) do not have
the authority to withhold an appeal from being forwarded to the Court ofAppeals
once the notice of appeal is filed and stamped. See CPRC §11.1035. Also, the Trial
Court and the Trial Court's Clerk (District Clerk) do not have the authority to remove
any part of the notice of appeal. The second page to the Appellant's notice of appeal,
which is the signature page, was removed from the notice of appeals. See attachment
'C' hereby incorporated by reference.

      Fourth, appellant filed with the Trial Court Clerk (District Clerk) requests and
supplemental request to include the complete notice of appeals filed November 25,
2014 and the "Plaintiffs Motion to Correct the Omission of Automatic Data

Processing Inc. and CNA Insurance Company from the style of Cause No. 97*48526
in the Court's Order of October 3,2014 without success. The First Court ofAppeals
should take judicial notice in the record ofthis appeal.

      Fifth, the Trial Court's order of October 3,2014 and the Plaintiffs motion to
correct the order filed October 9,2014 preceded the order declaring Plaintiff a
vexatious litigant. As such, CPRC §§11.101,11.102 would not bar Appellant's appeal
from the Trial courts order of October 3,2014. See attachment 'D' and hereby
incorporated by reference.

      Sixth, the First Court ofAppeals should consider the Appellant's appeal from
the Trial Court's order of October 3,2014 because Appellant challenges the Trial
Court's jurisdictional power under the Texas Workers' Compensation Act over the
claim for compensation in Cause No. 97-48526. Jurisdiction, once challenged, cannot
be assumed and must be decided. See Main v Thiboutot 100 S. CT. 2502 (1980). A
Court cannot confer jurisdiction where none existed and cannot make a void judgment
valid See Old Wayne Mut. L. Ass 'nv McDonough, 204 U.S. 8, 27, S. CT. 236 (1907).

      The Trial Court lacked the jurisdictional power under the Texas Workers'
Compensation Act over the claim for compensation when the final judgment was
                                           3
signed August9,2000 in CauseNo. 97-48526. The Appellee's employer, Automatic
Data Processing Inc. failed to provide proofofits Workers' Compensation Insurance
Policy to establish itself a a subscriber under the Texas Workers' Compensation Act
at the time of Appellant's work-related injuries. See attachment 'D', andhereby
incorporated byreference. This attachment 'D' is offered as exhibit 'A' to the
"Plaintiffs Motion to Correct the Omission ofAutomatic DataProcessing Inc           in
the Court's Order ofOctober 3, 2014" andalsopart ofevidence admitted in the show
cause hearing.

       TheTexas Workers' Compensation Actrequires the proofof the employer's
Workers' Compensation InsurancePolicy to establishthe employeras a subscriber
under the Texas Workers' CompensationAct at time ofemployee's work-related
injuries, before the Act can take effect or be appliedto a claim for compensation. See
Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. Arts. 8306-8309, 8306, §4, 8308 §§19, 20, 8309, §1; See
Middleton v Texas Power & Light Co., 249 US. 152, 153-54, 39 S. CT. 227, 63 L. Ed
527 (1919); Paradissis v Royal Indemnity Co., 507 S.W.2d 526, 529 (Tex. 1974);
Guerrero v StandardAlloys Mfg. Co., 598 S.W.2d 656, 657 (Civ. App.-Beaumont
1980, refdnr.e.); Johnston Testers vRangel, 435 S.W.2d 927, 930, 931 (Tex. Civ.
App. San Antonio 1968 ref n.r.e.); Aerospatiate Helicopter v Universal Health 778
S W. 2d 492 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1989, writdenied)

       The Appellee-employer, automatic Data Processing Inc. did not provide any
proof of its Workers' Compensation Insurance policy at the time ofAppellant's work-
related injuries to establish itself as a subscriber under the Texas Workers'
Compensation Act. See exhibit 'A'there is no proof or evidence in Cause No. 97-
48526 that the employer, or any ofthe defendants provided proof ofAutomatic Data
Processing Inc's Workers' Compensation Insurance Policy at the time ofPlaintiffs
work-related injuries.
                                           4
       Because the legislature did not authorize the Trial courtto grantreliefsought in
theAppellant's claim for compensation, the Trial Court lacked jurisdictional power
over the claimfor compensation. See Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann Art. 8306§4; Metro
Transit Auth. v Jackson, 212 S.W.3d 797, 801 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2006,
Pet denied).

       The lack of subject matter jurisdiction is fundamental error. See Saudi v
Brieven 16S. W. 3d 108, 110 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2004, no Pet). Thetest
for subject matter jurisdiction is whether the courthas power to enterthejudgment
upon an inquiry and not whetherits conclusion is correct. See Dioceses ofGalveston-
Houston vStone, 892 S.W. 2d169, 174 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist] 1994, Org
proceeding). Thejury finding and verdict upon which the Trial court's final judgment
was based is immaterial withoutproof ofthe employer, automatic Data Processing
Inc.'s Workers' Compensation Insurance policy at the time of Appellant's work-
related injuries. See Guerrero v StandardAlloys Mfg. Co., 598 S.W.2d 656, 657 (Civ.
App.-Beaumont 1980, Refd n.r.e.); Johnston Testers v Rangel, 435 S.W.2d 927, 930,
931 (Tex. Civ. App.-San Antonio 1968refd n.r.e.); Aerospatiate Heleicopterv
Universal Health 778S.W. 2d 492 (Tex. App. Dallas 1989, writ denied).

      At the same time, in order to claim a right to protections afforded an employer
under the Workers' Compensation Act, the Appellee, automatic Data Processing Inc
must provide Appellant with actual or constructive notice that the employer,
Automatic Data Processing Inc. provided compensation for injuries sustained in the
course and scope ofemployment. See Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. Art8308, §§19, 20;
Regalado v HE. Butt Grocery Co., 863 S.W.2d 107, 110 (Tex. App.-San Antonio
1993, no writ); Rodriguez v Martin Landscape Management, Inc., 882 S.W.2d 602,
606 (Tex. App.- Houston [1st Dist] 1994, no writ); Ferguson vHospital Corp. Int'l,
769 F. 2d268, 271-72 (5th Cir. 1985).

             TO THE HONORABLE ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGE:

                     Comes now, Patrick Olajide Akinwamide, Plaintiffin the above-styled and
             numbered cause and request the permission ofthe Honorable Administrative Judge to
             allow the appeal ofthe orders oftheTrial Court dated October 3,2014 and November
             4, 2014 which were filed with the District Clerk on November 25,2014.

                   Plaintiffwas lead to believe that after an attempt to file objections atthe Trial
             Court concerning the orders ofthe November 4, 2014 on November 7, 2014, that it
             was not required to request permission from the Honorable Administrative Judge to
             file an appeal, since similar request for permission to file objections was not
             considered by the Administrative Judge.

          Plaintiffdid not intentionally disregard the provision ofCPRC §§11.101, and
 11.102. Plaintiffwas lead to believe that the request for permission ofthe
 Administrative Judge to file his appeal was not necessary when the Administrative
 Judge said he has no jurisdiction to permit filing ofobjections. The appeal from the
 order ofOctober 3,2014 was based on the denial ofthe motion to vacate the final
 judgment in Cause No. 97-48526. The motion to vacate the judgment was denied and
 the order signed October 3,2014 before the declaration ofPlaintiffas avexatious
 litigant bythe order ofNovember 4,2014.

          Plaintiffs appeal is not (1) frivolous, (2) groundless and brought in bad faith   or

 groundless and brought for the purpose ofharassment, or groundless and interposed
 for any improper purpose, such as to cause unnecessary needless increase in the cost
 of litigation.

       Plaintiffs appeal will be supported by proper argument and evidence warranted
 by law as demonstrated in the pleadings and motions at the Trial Court.
        Plaintifffiled his appeal from the order ofOctober 3,2014 and orders of
November 4,2014 on the 25th ofNovember, 2014 with the District Clerk as required
by law.

        The issue ofPlaintiffs failure to obtain pre-filing permission from the
Honorable Administrative Judge to file his appeal was for the first time brought to the
attention ofPlaintiffwhen Plaintiffcalled the Post Judgment office (District Clerk) on
Tuesday, January 13,2015 to check the status ofthe appeal, because Plaintiffhad not
received anything from the First Court ofAppeal.

       The manager in the Post Judgment Office (District Clerk) informed Plaintiff
Tuesday, January 13,2015 that the County Attorney for the Honorable Administrative
Judge is reviewing the case and that the office would notify Plaintiffofthe outcome.

                                                                                                 Vfc
      Plaintiffprays that the Honorable Administrative Judge will permit or approve
the filing ofthe Plaintiffs Appeal for the purpose ofpreserving justice and fairness.

    MOTION TO CORRECT THE OMISSION OF AUTOMATIC DATA
    PROCESSING INC. AND CNA INSURANCE COMPANY FROM THE STYLE
    OF CAUSE NO. 97-48526 IN THE COURT'S ORDER OF OCTOBER 3.2014

    TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: Comes now, Patrick Olajide
    Akinwamide, Plaintiffin the above-styled and numbered cause, and files this Motion to
    correct the omission ofAutomatic Data Processing Inc., CNA Insurance Company from
    the style ofCause No. 97-48526 in the court's order ofOctober 3,2014 and the Plaintiff
    would respectfully show the courtthefollowing:
    1) In its memorandum opinion ofSeptember 6,2012, the Court ofAppeal for the First
       District ofTexas states that'% pleading inthe alternative, Appellant's Amended
       Petition did not dismiss the IAB issue but rather added Alternative Pleadings to that
       original claim.'' Citirig Gen. Elec. Co.; Ducane Heating Corp.; 561S. W. 2d 49-50
       (Tex. Civ. App.-Houston [14^.Dist.] 1978, no Wfit(pp5).
    2) Also in the response, defendants assert that "Plaintiffamended his original petition
       by filing Plaintiffs first amended original petition alternative pleadings" to bring
       common-law causes of action against thedefendants." The defendants filed a

                                  ^^mentisofpoorji*
                                     atthetime ofimaging
 motion to strike the pleadings butdidnotfile an amended answer." Further, in the
 motion to strike a Plaintiffs first amended original petition alternative pleadings
 signedby the counsel, Mr. JefferyL. Diamond, it was assertedthat "Plaintiff is now
alleging various causes ofaction against defendant and additional parties." See
defendants response andmotionforsanctionsfiledwith the court on October 2,
2014; Plaintiff's Exhibit "D" attached to the motion to set-aside thefinaljudgment
in Cause No. 97-48526....,) Plaintiffherby adopted the entire motion andresponse
by reference. Plaintiffs first amended original petition alternative pleadings was
not stricken and it is before the court. The attorney, Mr, Jeffrey L. Diamond was the
attorney for bothAutomatic DataProcessing Inc. and CNA Insurance in CauseNo,
 97-48526. See Exhibit 'K' attached to Plaintiffs motion to set-aside thefinal
judgment...). Automatic Data Processing Inc. and CNA Insurance Company are the
 added parties referred to inthe motion to strike. As such, by filing a dilatory plea in
the form ofa motion to strike, and asserting that the court clearly lackedjurisdiction
to preside over the additional parties or causes of action containedm Plaintiffs first
amended original petition, the defendants Transportation Insurance Company, CNA
Insurance Company, and Automatic Data Processing Inc, made a general appearance
and waives service of process ofthe Plaintiffs first amended original petition
alternative pleadings in Cause No. 97-48526. See Tex. R. Civ. P. 120;120a; 120
a(I); VonBriesen, Purtell, Roper vFrench, 78S.W. 3d570, 575, (Tex.App.-
Amarillo 2002, Pet Dism 'd); Weiner v Colwell 909 S.W. 2d866 (Tex. 1995);
Dawson-Austin vAustin, 968 S.W. 2d319, 321-322 Tex. 1998). The test for fan-
notice is "whether an opposing attorney ofreasonable competence withthe
pleadings before him, can ascertain the nature and the testimony probably relevant
See State Fidelity Mortgage Co. v Vomer 740 S.W. 2d477, 479 (Tex. App.-Houston
[1stDist] 1987, no writ). As such, the employer, Automatic Data Processing Inc.
andCNA Insurance Company are added parties and defendants in Cause No. 97-
48526.
3) Notice to the Industrial Accident Board (TWCC) of Workers Compensation
   Insurance coverage is necessary to achieve subscriber status under the Texas
  Workers' Compensation Act orsystem. See Tex. Rev. Civ. Sua. Art. 8308 § 18a;
  Aguilar v Wenglar Construction Co, 871S. W. 2d829, 832-833 (Tex. App.-Corpus
  Christi 1994, nowrit); Ferguson vHospital Corp. Intern. LTD. 769 F. 2d 268
  (1985). With regard tothe Industrial Accident Board (TWCC) finding, roll number
  1, the board finds that "onthe date of injury saidemployer was either a subscriber,
  authorized self*insured, orhad provided Workers' Compensation coverage in Texas
  by virtue ofArticle 8306, Section 18 R.C.S. That said employer was insured with
  the insurance carrier, or self-insured, as namedabove." The Industrial Accident
  Board (TWCC) was notcertain and definite with this finding. Implicitly, tins
  finding shows that there was no proofinthe records oftheIAB, that the employer
  was a subscriber, self-insured, orhad Workers' Compensation Insurance coverage at
  thetime ofPatrick Olajide Akinwamide's on-thevjob injuries, on October 15,1989.
  Otherwise, the finding would have been certain about the subscriber status of
  Automatic Data Processing Inc. and it provision of Workers' Compensation
  Insurance coverage at thetime ofthe employee's Patrick Olajide Akinwamide's on-
  the-job injuries on October 15,1989. Based on the finding in Roll Number 1ofits
  final decision or award the Industrial Accident Board (TWCC) finds in Roll Number
  9 that the evidencesubmittedis legallyinsufficient to establishmat the claimant
  sustained a compensable injury inthecourse of employment. The Board denied the
  claim because there was no proofthat the employer Automatic Data Processing Inc.
  was a subscriber under the Texas Workers' Compensation Act and did not provide
  Workers' Compensation coverage atthe time ofPatrick Olajide's on-the-job injuries
  as required by the Texas Workers' Compensation Laws. See Exhibit 'G' attached to
 Plaintiff's motion to set-aside thefinaljudgment... and incorporated by reference.
 For the employer, Automatic DataProcessing Inc. to prevail as asubscribing
 employer that had Workers' Compensation Insurance coverage under the Texas
    Workers' Compensation laws, the findings ofthe Industrial Accident Board in Roll
    1must be based on certainty. In other words, the JAB (TWCC) finding must
    affirmatively state that the employer, Automatic Data Processing Inc. was a
    subscriber under the Texas Workers' Compensation Act and hadWorkers'
    Compensation Insurance coverage atthe time ofPatrick Olajide Akinwamide's on-
    the-job injuries. Otherwise, the Industrial Accident Board (TWCC) did not have the
    jurisdiction over the claim and theemployer. See Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. Art
    8306, Section 4. Therefore, the employer failed toprove that it was a subscriber
    underthe Texas Workers' Compensation Act and that it had Workers'
    Compensation Insurance at the time ofPatrick Olajide Akinwamide's on-the-job
    injuries.
4) During the trial ofCause No. 97-48526, Plaintiffbrought tothe attention ofthe
court the issue ofthe employer Automatic Data Processing Inc. not having Workers'
Compensation Insurance coverage (Policy) at the time ofPlaintiffs on-the-job injuries.
The defendant's attorney Mr. Jeffrey L. Diamond in his representative capacity told the
court that the issue was notbrought totheattention ofthe Industrial Accident Board.
Assuch, thematter was waived. And theonly issue before this court which the court
would havejurisdiction was what was discussed at the Industrial Accident Board The
court asked Mr. Diamond whether the Industrial Accident Board ever asked for proofof
coverage, and Mr. Diamond responded "not when I was present in front oftheBoard "
See Exhibit 'fitCRRPgs. 12-13; 83-84; 98 and hereby incorporated by reference.
Under the Texas Workers' Compensation Laws, the employer Automatic Data
Processing Inc. subscriber status to the Texas Workers' Compensation Act (system) and
proofofWorkers' Compensation coverage at the time ofemployee's on-the-job injuries
are the requirements to be met to invoke the Trial court's statutory authority over the
Plaintiffs claim for compensation. See Tex. Civ. Stat. Arm. Art 8306 et. seq. Middleton
vTexas Power &Light Co. 294 U.S. 152,153-54, 39 S. ct227, 63 L. Ed527 (1919);
  HartfordAccident &Indemnity Company vChristenson, 149 Tex. 79, 228S. W. 2d 135,
  138, (1950); Paradissis vRoyalIndemnity Company, 507S.W. 2d526, 529 (Tex. 1974).
  The defendant Automatic Data Processing Inc. did not prove its "subscriber" status and
  its Workers' Compensation coverage (policy) at the time ofPlaintiffs work-related
  injuries as required by Texas Workers' Compensation Laws in Cause No. 97-48526.
  The provision ofthe Tex. Const. Art 1Section 13 is premised upon the rational that the
 legislature has no power to make aremedy by due course oflaw contingent upon an
 impossible condition. See Moreno vSterlingDrugInc. 787S. W. 2d348, 355 (Tex.
 1990). In Cause No. 97-48526, there was no proofthat the defendant Automatic Data
 Processing Inc. was asubscriber to Texas Workers' Compensation Act at the time of
  Haintiffson-the-job injuries and there was no proofofits Workers' Compensation
 Insurance policy that covered the Plaintiffs on-the-job injuries. The due process oflaw
 and Texas Workers' Compensation Laws require that the defendants, specifically,
 Automatic DataProcessing Inc. provide proofof"subscriber'' status and the proofofits
 Workers' Compensation Insurance policy at the time ofPlaintiffs on-the.job injuries,
 for it to qualify for the protection provided under the Texas Workers' Compensation
Laws.

Acceptance ofthe claim by the Industrial Accident Board (TWCC) as argued by the
defendants in Cause No. 97-48526 was not proofthat the employer, Automatic Data
Processing Inc. was asubscribing employer that had Workers' Compensation Insurance
coverage at the time ofPlaintiffs on-the-job injuries, on October 15,1989. The
defendants, Automatic DataProcessing Inc, Transportation Insurance Company and
CNA Insurance Company did not file an answer to "the Plaintiffs first amended
petition alternative pleadings" but filed amotion to strike the amended pleadings which
was not struck by the court For an employer to satisfy its burden ofestablishing its
status as aWorkers' Compensation subscriber for the purposes ofproving entitlement
to protection from eivil liability under Act's Exclusive Remedy Provision, Automatic
DataProcessing Inc. must prove that at the time the Plaintiffsustained his work-related
injuries, it had Workers' Compensation Insurance in effect from an insurance company
authorized to write Workers' Compensation Insurance in the State ofTexas. See Tex.
Rev. Civ. Stat. Arts. 8306-8309, ofthe Texas Workers'Compensation Act. The
Haintiffs common law causes of action remain as the only viable pleadings in Cause
No. 97-48526, and all affirmative defenses available to the defendants are waived
because the defendants did not file answer. As such, Automatic Data Processing Inc.
and CNA Insurance Company are defendants in Cause No. 97-48526. The Honorable
Court should amend its order ofOctober 3,2014 to include Automatic Data Processing
Inc. and CNA Insurance Company as defendants in the style of cause No. 97-48526
WHEREFORE Premises Considerect, Plaintiff; Patrick Olajide Akinwamide pray that
the court grants his motion to correct the style of Cause No. 97-48526 to include
Automatic Data Processing Inc. and CNA Insurance Company as defendants, and for
such other and future relief, both legal and equitable, to which Plaintiffis justly entitled

   1    understood.

   2                     The Plaintiff has brought to my

   3,   attention the   fact. that    he   thinks      that   the

   4    Defendant cannot prove that this case is the

   5    correct workers'   compensation case.

I6                       Did I understand that correctly?

   7                     MR.   AKINWAMIDE:         Yes,   and that they

   8    don't have insurance with my employer, Automatic

   9    Data Processing,   at the time of this injury.

 10                      THE   COURT:      And    he   believes      that

 11     they did not have insurance with his employer at
 12     the time of this injury.
 13                      Is there a response to that?

 14                      MR.   DIAMOND:      Yes,      ma'am.       Number   1,

 15     this matter was never brought to the attention Of
 16     the Industrial Accident Board.             At the time that

 17     this case was initially heard --
 18                      THE COURT:        You mean this specific

 19     issue as   to whether or     not it was the correct

120     injury?

21                       MR.   DIAMOND:      Yes,      exactly.       And as

22      such, it is waived.      The only issue that was
\2 3    brought to the Industrial Accident Board is whether

 14     this gentleman sustained an injury in the course

?5      and scope of his employment.             And under the Texas

 1   Workers'   Compensation Act,          the only issue that

 2   could then be brought to this Court and over which

 5   has been no findings, filings, or anything by —

 8                        THE COURT:       Yes,    you can pull

 9   something from your file, yes,               sir.

10                        MR.   DIAMOND:     -- by Mr.      Akinwamide

11   regarding this matter that he's raised to the Court

12   on the day of trial.          I don't know if the Court has

13   jurisdiction over that issue, and it's been
14   waived.                         ,
15                        THE COURT:       You may go ahead and

16   bring them in and get them seated.
17                        MR.   DIAMOND:     I    think   it's    also    been

18   already addressed by the Court when Mr. Akinwamide
19   attempted to have the case tried in the common law

20   against ADP.        That was the basis of his motion at

21   that time.     And it was denied by Judge Link.
22                        THE COURT:       Okay.     Let me look at

23   your papers,       sir.

25   may respond to this.

     10    was no injury in the course and scope.

     11                        THE    COURT:     Did    the   Board    ever    ask

     12    for proof of coverage?

           representing Transportation Insurance Company prior

 for Lack of Jurisdiction Under the TWCA, and The Trial Court To Proceed With The Plaintiffs

 the arguments ofPlaintiff and counsel. The Court finds that it has no plenary power over this
 case and the common law claims are barred by res judicata and collateral estoppel. Further, the
 PlaintifFs Motion is frivolous, groundless, brought in bad faith and brought for the purpose of
 harassment. Therefore, the Court DENIES PlaintifFs Motion as the Court has no plenary power
 to hear same and ORDERS the Plaintiff to jiimi I ilni P fegflgg ill          111JiMMIlMiilli       ji
