NOTICE OF APPEALS

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES:

I Gary Wayne Barnes Sr. the Pre SE movant in cause number
of Dallas county convictions in indictments F-80-01653OIJ
F-Bl-OllOS-J, F-81-01027-J and F-81-02518-J request to file
an appeal in the ,above numbered causes in the Article 64.04
findings as the court1 ORDER is signed on the ll,th Day of
Dec. 2014.

The movant files notice of Appeal Pre Texas Code of Criminal
Procedures Chapter 64.04 supported by his contemporaneously

filed Memorandum and applicatant attachements and Exhibits
in support of the Writ of Habeas Corpus presently pending
in the above entitled petition numbers;\

Per Texas Code of Criminal Procedures chapter 64,04 by
use and by reference thereto the materials contained in movant's
attached MOTION FOR DNA TESTING , contemporaneously filed
Memorandum in Sopport of the Writ of Habeas Corpus with movants

Attachements and Exhibits reflects the following;

On Feb. 20 2009, the movant was granted DNA testing and
testing’ was premitted by the DPS ,with the results released
on May 13, 2009. The court hheld a result hearring on.June
8, 2009 and durring the hearing it became apperrant that thur
no fault of the movant the S§tate_ had tested the "Wrong evidence";

1. the actual crime scence evidence was withhheld and
replaced with evidence of an un-related set of offenses;

2. The evidence that was tested is not the actual crime
scence evidence for offenses that was committed on July 4,
1980 as the SWIFS , crime lab files presently shows the evidence
tested in file numbers 80-p-1632 and 80-p-1635 was filed

Appeal Page l.

'\

w

in the SWIFS crime Lab in the Month of Feb 6, 1980 (6) months
prior to and before the date of the commission of the offenses,
being committed. '
_ 1 .

In this case the movant will establish Equatable Tolling
of extraordiniary circumstances justifying the delay in obtaining*
the newly discovered, newly presented evidence in the presentation
of a 'ORDER' of the convicting court/ having all records and
files sealed.

The evidences records and files was Ordered Sealed by
the convicting Court Judge on June 25, 2009 which has worked
to inpead the movant from obtaining the withheld actual crime
scence evidence. _

On June 8, 2009 the movant filed an objection in opeH court
that the court take Judicial Notice- concerning 'the findings
of the results of the chapter 64404 as the evide§ce was faulty
and not the aactual crime scence evidence as the resul§s was con-
tridictory to the sworn testimony and the statements of the
victims that prior to the offenses being committed she had

never had a sexual intercourse with a male or a female§!

The Results in the test results states that the DNA pro-
files of a un-Known Male and Three un-known and un-identified
females profiles which is un-explainable in a case where the

victims sworn statements and trial testimomy are a contridiction

4of the findings.

These findings along whth the movants knowledge in
knowing that he did not commit these offenses. presents issues of-

the evidence is questionable:

II.

On June 8, 2009 at the result finging hearing
a women in the court gave a note to the Bailiff to give to the
movant stating that the evidence was wrong, not the actual
crime scence evidence. This was reflected in the movants Objections
and request for Judicial notices l

The movant, was not allowed to file a Notice of appeal
as the Judge rushed to seal the files as being confidential and

by the same stroke of the pen the Judge approved an order for

Appeal Page 2.

the movant's court appointed attorney to withdraw as the
attorney of records. (see Movants Habeas Corpus application
page 7.)
The movant points to the case in McQuiggins V. Preking'
133 S. ct. 1924 (2013) _where the United States Supreme Court
has held that a claim of actual innocence if proven is a gateway
by which the movant can raise a claim of actual innocence.
In this Appeal the movant can show the exceptional
set of circumstances in the convicting court filed a "ORDER"
to Seal the Files, Records which has 'impeaded the movant from

obtaining the files and the records that was mailed the movant'
on May 16, 2014 in a un-marked,.no returnable postage legal

envolope, mailed to the prison mail room that has been recorded
as questionable legal mail with no-returable addresssnot on
movants mailing list. 1 `

The SWIFS lab files was mailed to the movant, and the
movant did not and has not violated the court order, making
copies of the files, but use the files as movant's Attachements
and Exhibits A thur L'in presenting the files in the movants _
Memorandum in Support of the Writ of Habeas Corpus showing that the
actual crime scence evidence has not been presented to the
court._ 4

The movant has been convicted of offenses that was committed
on July 4, .1980, but the evidence that has been presented to
the `court as states Exhibit 3 and tested by the DPS in file
numbers 80-p-1632 and 80-p-l635 was on file in the SWIFS crime
lab Feb. 6, 1980 (6) months prior to the offenses was committed.

The police report in the Dallas' police Department
files of number #307064-1 is also a ~filing that was filed
in that department in 'the month on feb, 1980 and is not the
case in the same transaction of the offenses committed on July
4, 1980 in the Dallas Police Department filing number of 506950~L

same tranaction .

III.
In the interest of justice in a miscariage of
justice in the' conviction ~of a innocence person where the
actual crime scence evidence has been withheld this court isv

Appeal Page 3.

in the position of a review of the files a review to which
the movant has been impeaded from presenting &from showing

due to the June 25, 2009 court order to seal the files as
.confidential.

The movants Attachements and Exhibits clearly shows
by McQuiggins V. Perkins, clear and convicing evidence that
the actual crime scence has been withheld: 1

In the state not presenting the actual crime scence evidence
at the movants trial has deprived the movant of his constitutional
right to due process and the right to legal sificient evidence
to support the verdicts, judgements and the sentences.

A review of the files in this case will show that the convicting
court has already Granted the movant's Motion for DNA Testing
on Feb. 19, 2009 (see Attachement and Exhibit A thur L and

attached here as Exhibit a) through no égbi of the movant

the state has tested the wromg evidence.

The Judge of the convicting court has stated in the records
that the movant has established that he mis'entitle to the
requirments as set of in the statute in requesting DNA test-
ing as authorized by Chapter 64. Ol, 02,and 03; (a) (2).

The movant can now show 'this court by a review of the‘

filing systems of the Dallas Police Department and the filing
systems of the Southwest Institute of Fresence Science Lab

that the actual crime scence evidence for the offenses that
was commiytted on July 4, 1980 is not the evidence that was
submitted for testing in file numbers 80-p-1632 and 80-p-

1635 tested in DPS file number LlD-184098-2 with the results
of May 13, 2009.

Under the holdings of Brady V. Maryland, the movant
is actually innocence when the actual evidence has been withheld
as the movant has been deprived of his constitutional rights
to the fundmentals of due process.

Clear and convincing evidence is eHhibited in the
filed report of the SWIFS- lab attached here as Exhibit B,
dated July 24, 2008 showing thai the C. Jordan file has the

same file number as the Y. Oviedo file as Fe80501027-J as this

Appeal Page 4.

same number is submitted to the Texas Department of Public

Safety crime lab evidence record sheet 3/6/09 showing the Same
evidence file number of F-81&01027-J , that is the actual evidece
of the file in the SWIFS tested evidence of 31-016530-J. this_

will now become(exhibit C.)

ahs mart has gssamsd to unsmdsarauoammgaridsna usta;psrcsue
wsadtrsmss: v

The movant request an appeal of the above facts and issus
as . the actual crime scence evidence in the above mentioned
files sits at the SWIFS crime lab that proves that not only
was the wrong evidence tested but the wrong evidence was present
-ed at the movants trial, under the clear and convicing standards
no jury in the world would have convicted the movant, if it
had been known that the evidence was the evidence of a crime
that has nothing to do with the offenses to which the applicant
was on trial. `

The evidence is no longer the issue in this case the court only
need to petition the files of the` SWIFS CRIME LAB and make a deter-
manation a request for a AFFIDIVIT OF THE FILING SYSTEM- a Question
of what is the filing Date of the evidence in SWIFS file no. 80-P-
1632 and 80-p-1635s

` A request for a AFFIDIVIT OF THE FILING SYSTEM Of the
Dallas Police Department in the Police report of #307064-L is this
file number for a offenses reported on July 4, 1980; is condict-
ionary of a filed case in file number # 506950-L reported on July
4_ 1980‘ in the same time and place.

The movant make these' requests as the Judge of the
convicting court still has a pending Order that the-files are
sealed as confidential and the movant is proceeding in Pro-
se and is impeaded by such information being intentionally
done when the movant made his objections in open court;

This 'impeadment by court order' is movants request to
the united stated court ofv Appeals for the fifth Circuit in
the application to premit the filing of the seeessive 28 U.S.C.

§ 2254 in requesting equitable tolling due to the impeadment
Of the Court "ORDER to SEAL THE RECORDS.

Results of Analysis'and |nterpretation _ _
Spermatozoa, semen specific constituents were detected on the two previously stained vaginal s"mear_
slides (ltems 3’-1 and 4). Apparent cellular matter was detected on the two remaining vaginal smear
slides (ltems 3-2 and 3-3). No apparent hairs or fibers were detected on the vaginal smear slides.

‘An attempt was made to extract DNA from evidentiary samples relating to this case Both bucca| swabs
from Gary Barnes were extracted by a method that yields DNA. The vaginal smear slides (ltems 3-1, 3- _
2, 3-3, and 4) were extracted using a method designed to yield two fractions: a fraction enriched for DNA »
from non-sperm cells usually associated With the victim (the epithelial cell fraction), and a` fraction

enriched for DNA from sperm cells (the sperm fraction). DNA typing was performed on these samples
using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The following loci were examined: 0881179, D21811,

THE STATE OF TEXAS _ . §
§
MOTION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF AN INVESTIGATOR
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
Now ~comes- Gary Wayne Barnes, the applicant in the above

entitled and numbered causes a petition in Pro- Se to request
that the court appoint an Investigator where the applicant
has ` requested' the-_appointment of counsel where there are
new facts, newly discovered evidence of the origional filings
systems of the Dallas Police department, Southwestern Institut-~.4
ute of Forecics Science and the office of the Dallas County
Clerks has documents files and imformation of the -dates of
the above mentioned crimes,'police reports , crime file numbers
evidence files and the evidence filing dates for the offenses
to which the applicant has been convicted.
1 I. '

In open court on june 8l 2009 the applicant made
va request 'that the court take "JUDICAL Notice' that the evidence
which was tested was not the proper evidence of the crime
secnce to which the applicant was convicted. The applicant
attempted to point' out that the evidence which was tested at
the texas Department of Public safety No. LlD- 184098, was

not the evidence of the actual :crime scence;

Page 1.

Barnes 2.

The applicant was convicted on Feb, 27, 1981 for the¢
offense committed on July 4 1980, in the Dallas Police Department
file number #SOSQSO-L and #'307064-L for offenses committed July
4, 1980 and the SWIFIS lab file numbers of # 80~P-1632 and
# 80-P- 1635 for the evidence of the offense which was committed

on the date of july 4. 1980. '

This Court in a ORDER GRANTING DNA TESTING Varified
that the evidence was locked in a box science the date of the
offense in a certain chain of coustody.

The State presented at trial Extraneous offenses and evidence
of swiss lab ii 80-1'>-425'93 and 1)1>1) wfile hauser of s 4e29'55~`
L as an extraneous offense being committed prior to and
_before the offense which was committed July 4, 1980.

iThe state presented at trial Extraneous offense and
'evidence of SWIFS lab # 80-80-P-2971 and DPD file number
as an extraneous offense being committed on Dec. '2, l980an
offense that committred after the offense of July 4, 1980.DP¢5‘“'-55`8clm"\'~

The filing order of ` both the n'PD and swiss filing
of the cases before and_after the offense of July 41 1980 proves
that the lab numbers in # ,an_-_e;;@z_ana s ao-P-1635 are not

the actual evidence of the crime scence and that a records
search shows that this ` ence was _gg _filg n at ther SWIFS
lab_p£igr to and before the date to which the July 4. 1980
offense was committed.

II.
The applicant was granted DNA testing on Feb.

20, ,2009 and that testing was prefromed by the DPS lab in
number »LlD-184098 as the filing systems will show that this

is not and can not be the actual crime scence evidence.

Page 2.

Barnes 3.
The filing systems of both the Dallas Police Department

and the files of the Southwestern Institute of Froenics science
labproves that the state has introduced persented and tested

the evidence which is not, was not the evidence of the actual
crime scence- n

III.
The `applicant was convicted in (2) two jury trials where
the State filed it's notice of intent to uses extraneous offenses
and .to present extraneous evidence prusuant to Rules 404 and
__609iof.thre Texas Rules of Evidence and Article 37.07 of the
code of Criminal proceedures.
By the use of this new inrormation that the evidence

has never been presented the ant Jury or to the actual trial
Judge the the applicant has not been given a fair trial and
has been denied due process in a `constitutional meaning of
the actual evidence 'of the crime scence .being presented to

the court and entered upon the recorder

rv_,
The files of both the DPD and SWIFS labs proves

that there is a serious issue of testing the actual evidence

as` this evidence is still on file at the lab in the numbers

filed as ao-p-27a4 and 80~1>-¢2790, that was filed on duly
4, 1930. ' '

This evidence can be tested and this evidence will

prove that the applicant is actusal innocence and that the
victims are the actual victims of the crime to which the applicant`

has been convicted.

Page 3.

Barnes 4,

Applicant request the appointment of INVESTIGATOR in assisting

a review by this court in _determination as to the fact of
the evidence so thatr a Order can be filed that a copy of
the porition of the files of the‘ Dallas police 'Department
and the Southwestern Instutute of Forenics Science Lab be sealed
for the future review of the appellate court when necessary.

Applicant request the appointment of lnvestigator
to preserve and present affidivits to the court of the in Brief
data of the DPD and SWIFS Lab of the filing systems 'that
the correct dates that all evidence was reported and presented
to the lab in accordance 'with the dates of each of the offeenses

was committed as well as the .evidence filed with the lab.

V.

Tha applicant can prove and present the facts
that are related to the issue of the evidence and that the
testing of said evidence proves that the applicant in actually
innocence of the crimes to which he was convicted. In the inter-
trest ofl justice the applicant request that the Judge looku
to the facts look to the filing process of both of the above
mentioned _agencies which shows the the evidence used in the
` convictions was no file in the Lab filing systems prior to and
before the date that the crime was committed. t

Wherefore, premises Considered, the applicant Prays
that this court grant this Motion for the`Appointment of Invest-

igator:

Respectfully Submitted:

l am Gary Wayne Barnes. On February 25, 1981, in Cause Numbers
F81-01027-J and F81-01105-J, l was found guilty of aggravated rape and was
sentenced to life in the penitentiary On February 25 1981, in Cause Number
F8l-02518-J, l was found guilty of burglary of a habitation with the intent to
commit rape and was sentenced to life in the penitentiary On February 27l
1981, | was found guilty of aggravated rape in Cause Number F80-16530-J and
was sentenced to life in the penitentiary Notices of appeal were filed in these
cases on |Vlarch 20, 1981. _The appeals were denied, and the mandates were
affirmed on November 5, 1982.

l state that the following is true and correct

l. To the best of my knowledge, there was evidence obtained in
relation to these cases that consisted of biological material This evidence
included, but is not limited to. rape kits taken on the vlctims. The evidence was
m the possession of the State during these cases

2. The evidence, to the best of my knowledge, was not subjected
to DNA testing or comparison DNA testing with my DNA. The testing not being
done was through no fault of my own.

3. The ultimate question in these cases was whether l, Gary
Wayne barns, committed the offenses of aggravated rape and burglary of a
habitation with the intent to commit rape. There is a reasonable probability that it
would show that l did not commit these offenses if DNA forensic testing was
done on the biological materia|.

4. l make this request in the interest ofjustice and not to
unreasonably delay the execution of sentence or administration of justice.

The Defendant, Gary Wayne Barnes, appearing pro se, has filed a request with the
Court to consider a media produced videotape of the DNA test taken pursuant to a post-

THE STATE OF TEXAS § IN CRIMINAL DISTRICT
vs. § COURT NUMBER 3 OF
. GARY WAYNE BARNES § DALLAS COUNTY,`TEXAS

ORDER GRANTING GARY WAYNE BARNES’S MOTION
FOR POST-CONVICTION DNA TESTING

Barnes was charged with the aggravated rape of Y.O. (cause number F81-01027-
QJ), the aggravated-rape of E.R. (cause number F81-01105-QJ), and burglary of a
habitation with the intent to commit rape and theft (cause number F81-02518-J). A jury
found appellant guilty and assessed a life sentence in all three cases; the jury also
imposed a $10,000 fine in each case. On August 31, 1982, the Dallas Court of Appeals
affirmed his convictions

On October 25, 2007, Barnes, through court-appointed counsel, filed a formal -
motion for post-conviction DNA testing under Chapter 64 of the Texas Code of Criminal
Procedure. The State filed a response to Barnes’s motion on February 18, 2009,. agreeing
that Barnes had met the statutory requirements for entitlement to post-conviction DNA
testing. Accordingly, the State does not oppose DNA testing of what appear to be
vaginal smears that still exist in connection with these cases. The State also does not
oppose testing, for comparison purposes, of known DNA samples to be obtained from
Barnes and the victims, and any of the consensual sex partners that the victims may have

had in the seventy-two (72) hours prior to the rape. The State does not, however, waive

any arguments regarding the integrity of the evidence to be tested or the interpretation of
any test results under Chapter 64 ora subsequent 11.07 writ.

The Court, after considering the pleadings of both parties, the requirements of
Chapter 64, the record in these cases, and the Court’s own knowledge and experience,
grants Barnes’s unopposed request for DNA testing of the evidence currently located at
the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences (SWIFS). The Court also grants DNA
testing, for comparison purposes, of saliva samples to be obtained from Barnes and the
victims, and any of the consensual sex partners that the victims may have had in the
seventy-two (72) hours prior to the rape.

The Court makes the following findings in support of its rulings:

Exz`stence of Evidence Containing Biological Materl'al

l. In relation to this case, SWIFS still possesses two slides, which appear to
be vaginal smears taken during the victims’ sexual assault examinations at Parkland
Hospital.

2. The vaginal smears were secured in relation to the offenses that are the
basis of the challenged convictions

3. The evidence appears to be in a condition making DNA testing possible.

4. The evidence was in the State’s possession during the trials of the offenses.
5. The evidence has been subjected to a sufficient chain of custody.
6. Additionally, for comparison purposes, the State will attempt to obtain

known DNA samples from Barnes and the victims, and any of the consensual sex

partners that the victims may have had in the seventy-two (72) hours prior to the rape.

7. Because SWIFS has been unable to confirm the nature of the slides it has
labeled “KZ” in each of the victim’s specific laboratory numbers, the slides need to be
examined to determine Whether they Were taken as part of the internal examinations of
the victims or whether they contain hair or fiber evidenee.

8. Accordingly, Barnes has met his burden of demonstrating that evidence
containing biological material still exists in relation to these cases and is in a condition
making DNA testing possible. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 64.03(a)(l)(A)
(Vernon Supp. 2008).

Identily

9. Identity was and is an issue in these cases. The perpetrator was a stranger
to the victims. Barnes’s defense at trial was misidentification; his wife testified that he
was at horne the night of the offenses.

lO. Accordingly, Barnes has met his burden of demonstrating that identity was
or is an issue in these cases. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 64.03(a)(l)(B)
_ (Vernon Supp. 2008).

Sz'gnijicance of Exculpatory Results

ll. Barnes has met his burden of establishing, by a preponderance of the
evidence, that he would not have been convicted if exculpatory results had been obtained
through DNA testing. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 64.03(a)(2)(A) (Vernon
Supp. 2008). The DNA test results will only be considered exculpatory for purposes of
Chapter 64, however, if (l) testing yields a male DNA profile that matches neither Barnes

nor any male with whom the victims engaged in consensual intercourse in the seventy-

two (72) hours prior to the rape; and (2) testing yields female DNA profiles that match
the victims, thus confirming that the biological evidence tested was indeed collected from
the victims in these cases. Moreover, DNA test results will only be considered
exculpatory if a visual examination concludes that the slides were obtained from internal
examinations of the victims; test results will not be exculpatory if a visual examination
concludes that the slides contain hair or fiber evidence.

Administration of Justice

121 Barnes has met his burden of establishing, by a preponderance of the
evidence, that his request for DNA testing is not made to unreasonably delay the
execution of sentence or administration of justice. See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art.
64.03(a)(2)(B) (Vernon Supp. 2008). Barnes is currently serving his sentences in these
cases.

Choice of Laboratory

13. DNA testing will be conducted by the Texas Department of Public Safety
(DPS). See TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. ANN. art. 64.03(c)(1) (Vernon Supp. 2008). l

14. The proposed testing could consume the evidence, and both parties have
agreed to this condition.

Based on the above findings, the Court GRANTS Barnes’s request for post-
conviction DNA testing of what appear to be vaginal smears currently in the possession
of SWIFS. The Court further grants DNA testing, for comparison purposes, of known
saliva samples from Barnes and the victims, and any of the consensual sex partners that

the victims may have had in the seventy-two (72) hours prior to the rape.

The Court ORDERS that:

l. Within ten (10) days of the date this order is entered, this Court shall issue a
bench warrant, transferring Barnes from the Institutional Division of the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice to the Dallas County Jail. Upon Barnes’s arrival at the
Dallas County Jail, an agent of the State shall collect a buccal swab, thumbprint, and
photograph

2. An agent of the State shall transfer Barnes’s buccal swab, thumbprint, and
photograph, along with a copy of this order, to the Department of Public Safety
Laboratory, attention: Manuel Valadez, 350 W. I-30, Garland, Texas 75043, telephone
214-861-2000, maintaining a proper chain of custody.

3. Within a reasonable amount of time after this order is entered, an agent of
the State shall attempt to obtain buccal swab DNA samples from the victims in these
cases. The State shall also attempt to determine whether the victims had consensual
intercourse within seventy-two (72) hours of the rape. If so, the State shall attempt to
obtain buccal swabs from those consensual sex partners. The victims and their
consensual sexual partners have no legal obligation to provide their DNA samples to the
State.

4. If the State obtains DNA samples from the victims and any consensual sex
partners, an agent of the State shall transfer the samples to the Department of Public
Safety Laboratory, attention: Manuel Valadez, 350 W. I-30, Garland, Texas 75043,

telephone 214-861-2000, maintaining a proper chain of custody.

5. ,DPS shall, upon receipt, visually inspect the slides to determine whether the
slides were obtained during internal examinations of the victims or if the slides contain
hair or fiber evidence, Upon completion of the visual inspection, DPS shall notify all
parties of it conclusions regarding the nature of the slides.

6. If the slides are confirmed to have been taken from internal examinations of
the victims and do not contain hair or fiber evidence, DPS shall conduct DNA testing of
the slides and reference samples|.

7. The DNA testing shall be conducted under reasonable conditions designed
to protect the integrity of the evidence and the testing process.

8. The DNA testing shall employ a scientific method sufficiently reliable and
relevant to be admissible under Rule 702 of the Texas Rules of Evidence.

9. 4 On completion of the DNA testing, the results of the testing and all data
related to the testing required for an evaluation of the test results shall '~be immediately
filed with this Court and copies of the results and data shall be served on then movant, via
his attorney of record, Michelle Moore (Dallas County Public Defender’s Office, 133 N.
Industrial Blvd., LB 2, Dallas, Texas 75207); and on the attorney representing the State,
Amy Sue Melo Murphy (Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, Appellate Division,
133 N. Industrial Blvd., LB 19, Dallas, 'l`exas 75207).

lO. The State of Texas shall bear the costs of all testing conducted pursuant to

this order.

THE CLERK IS FURTHER ORDERED to send a copy of this order to:

(l) Department of Public Safety Laboratory, attention: Manuel Valadez,
350 W. I-30, Garland, Texas 75043; '

CONCLUSION
The movant request that the court consider this appeal of
the findings of the DNA testing in the actual crime scence_
evidence has been withheld, and the evidence of a set of unrelated
offenses has been tested through no fault of the movant:

In the interest of justice the movant has shown that he
has been illgeally convicted using falty evidence that has nothing
to do with the offenses committed on July 4 ,1980.

Movants Attachements and~ Exhibits in' support of the facts
and i_inaa: jurists of reason would find it debateable that the
evidence presented, introduced and exhibited as the states Exhibit's
can support the convictions, Verdicts, Judgements and the sentences
where the movant has a valid claim s of the denial of constututional
rights.

Wherefore Premises considered movant prays that this

court grant leave to file an appeal as the movant has shown

that he has been granted DNA Testing but through no fault
of his own the wrong evidence was tested; '

The actual crime scence evidence is still on file and

with this being the case and the imformation given in the

court files , records the movant is entitle to a new trial

in violation yof brady V. Maryland, as the actual crime scence

evidence has been withheld;
