MR. ABLE ACOSTA, CLERK

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS¢

P.O. BOX- 12308, CAPITOL STATION
AUSTIN, TEXAS 78711.

JUNE 1, 2015

RE: WR;SZ, 364-01; Tr.Ct.No. CRlZ-OllA (11/26/14- DENIED WITHOUT W/O.)

MR ACOSTA:

l am providing you with this sworn affidavit, attesting to the
fact that l was dooped into the filing of my Writ of Habeas Corpus`Appli-
cation which was processed under the writ number cited above. l had no -
knowledge above the contents of this legal document filed. Had l, it
would never have been filed. This was an "inmate con game" l was not privy
to and l am asking that the Court's ruling although it must stand, the
Court will allow a second filing without being cited for writ abuse. The
writ l wish to file, was done by me... for me, and l am aware of its con-

` tents.
Please contact me with regards to this matter as this situation really

has me upset. Thank you very much.

Respectfully Submitted,

69le <`§ Q”/W””~ neo§wsbm

Before me, the undersigned authority, personally appeared RICKEY
LYNN JOHNSON, TDCJ NO. 1742560, who duly sworn, deposes as follows:

“ My name is RICKEY LYNN JOHNSON, TDCJ’NO. 1742560. l am over the
of 18, competent to make this affidavit and personally acquainted with
the facts stated herein: .

l am assigned to the Pack`Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice, Criminal lnstitutional Division. While assigned to the Pack Unit,
l came to know an offender by the name of Craig Converse, TDCJ No. 1786491
who has since been released to parole and is residing in Montgomery County}
Texas. Offender Converse portrayed himself as being a "Certified Paralegal"
with legal offices located in Miami, Fl. [See Attached Business Card]

Offender, Converse reviewed my legal documents which l had in my posse-
ssion and advised me that he could get my conviction reversed and remanded
for a new trial, however, this would cost me the sum of $60.00. Not knowing
‘ any better and listening to this fast talking con man, l allowed Offender,
Converse access to my legal documents. l let him do what he assured me was
in my best interests. At that time l was seriously ill with a grave chem-
ical Imbalance due to liver problems which cause failure of my memory,
as well as balance problems. l apparently signed the Writ of Habeas Corpus
forms, although l do not recall having them read or explained to me. The
ramifications of the claims being placed before the Court also were never
explained to me. v `

For these reasons and the fact that l was medically infirm due to my
serious medical problems, l was not aware of the consequences in allowing
Offender, Converse to submit these documents on my behalf I am requesting
permission from this Honorable Court to allow the re- filing of a Writ of

Habeas Corpus under Article 11. 07, V. A. C. C. P. without being cited for abuse~

of- writ for successive filings and abuse of writ. "
