Ms. Parker, saying that anything that y filed in the Court
would just be set aside. They were not going to have a
hearing on it. It would not be admissible evidence, et
cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

On the letter she referred to
correspondence, which was a motion to dismiss counsel for
Earl Gray; and she said that it was correspondence that
was filed with the Clerk. And that was filed with the
District Clerk. And I was intending to fire Earl Gray,
and she was still telling me to contact Earl Gray over
these issues.

THE COURT: Well, if it hadn't been filed
in, and it doesn't have a cause number, I'm not sure l can
take it up right now.

What do y'all say about that?

THE DEFENDANT: It was mailed to the
District Clerk on the date of 11/3. They never -- the
District Clerk refused to file it, which violates the
procedure for the Writ of Habeas Corpus.

MR. WA§D: Judge, if you look at th§_
address on it, it does say the District Clerk; but then,
the address is to the District Attorney's office. Th§`
‘pistrict Clerk's office apparently routed it up to us. It

went into our file and remained there until it was given

 

over to Mr. Maltsberger last week.

MR. WARD: Late last week, Judge.

_THE COURT: what do y'all suggest we do
about this?

MR. WARD: Well, Judge, I would argue that
it's moot at this point, anyway, because we talked to
TDCJ. They called us last week and said he was underneath
a blue warrant anyway, His blue warrant was lifted on
Friday. So, whether or not the Writ was granted or not,
he was still on a hold from TDCJ; so, it renders it moot.

THE COURT: So, it's moot because his blue

warrant's been lifted?

MR. WARD: Yes -- well, it hadn't at the

 

time that this had been filed, Judge. It was lifted until

 

Friday.

THE DEFENDANT: I object to that, Your
Honor. I have the paperwork where the TDCJ was holding me
illegally. I pled it in the criminal court of appeals on

a habeas corpus, that actually went through the process as

it should have by due process; and they ordered TDCJ to

lift the hold. They never have -- they held me illegally

on that detainer since September.

THE COURT: Well, if your hold has been

lifted, therels no more issue to consider.

THE DEFENDANT: Well, that was on a

different issue. That was to another court. That was inn
another county.

THE COURT: Well, yeah, but your objective,
as I understand it, is to get the hold lifted, right?

THE DEFENDANT: No, this is over this
pending felony. This habeas corps here is over the
pending felony.

THE COURT: So, what do you say to that?

THE DEFENDANT: That has nothing to do with

that.

THE COURT: That has nothing to do with the

lifting of the hold?
THE DEFENDANT: NO.

Judge.

THE DEFENDANT: I did file it. The Clerk

 

didn't file it.

it with. l

All right. What do you want to get in out

of that thing?

MR. WARD: Well, Judge, he's`testified on
the stand just now that he didn't see the test that Welch
and Young did. And then, in his motion -- or his Petition

for Writ of Habeas Corpus --

THE coURT= That he didn't see the test?

MR. WARD: And in his Petition for Habeas

THE COURT: Okay. I want you to -~

MR. WARD: And this has been filed;

THE COURT: -- I want you to get him to

He gave it over. That's his statement.

And then, I want you to ask him if he made
this statement within the content of that thing, blah,
blah, blah, And get him to affirm or deny that. And if
he denies it. Then, you can get into evidence the very

document itself.

Do you have any objection to that procedure?

MR. MALTSBERGER: Not to that procedure,

THE COURT: Okay. That's the proper way to

MR. WARD: I'm sorry, Judge. I'm a bit
