Tr.Ct.No.B-35,839-A, Ector County, Texas, a violation of his
Fourteenth Amendment Right to-Due Process, Ex parte Chabot,300
S.W.3d 768-772 (Tex.Crim.App.2009)Held:"The Due Process Clause
of the Fourteenth Amendment is violated where the State knowingly

clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is violated where the State
knowingly-uses perjured testimony to obtain a conviction."

United States v. Agurs,427 U.S. 97,106, 96 S.Ct;2392 (1976),

427 U.S. at 103, 96 s.ct; at 2397. United states v. Bagley,
473 U.S. 667-6691 105 S.Ct;3375(1985), The Supreme Court has
suggested that the knowingly use of "false" testimony is treated
the same as the knowingly use of perjured testimony..Counsel
failed to investigate May, or his story. With a Evidentiary
'Hearing, Applicant will be able to show the Courts that May has ~
never lived in a cell with him, nor did they share any common
activities,i.e., work, school, recreation; religious services,_
nothing. Applicant has never had a conversation with May.~Further,
a hearing will show that Maijas a trusty in4the jails booking/-
intake area. They lived in different parts of the jail, and they
never had shared activities! Applicant wqas housed in 2000 b4lock,
which is maximum security housing, he was in a separation cell,
(single cell) and was placed in cuffs and shackles anytime out of
the cell, and was not allowed contact with other jail inmates.
~ With testimony and rec4ords obtained from the jail in.a hearing,
Applicant can prove hi s allegatio ns, which will support his claims
