Dear Clerk:

Please present this "Letter Supplement to ApWBH@E@SEECBQU(SE
OBJECTIONS to Convicting €ourt's Order (Findings and Conclusions)
Recommending That Relief be Denied" to the Court.

LETTER SUPPLEMENT TO APPLICANT'S PRO SE OBJECTIONS TO
CONVICTING COURT'S ORDER (FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS)
RECOMMENDING THAT RELIEF BE DENIED

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THlS COURT:

The State's Response and the convicting court's Order focused

 

on appellate counsel's conduct. Thus, in an attempt to keep things
simple, Applicant's OBJECTIONS focused on appellate counsel's
conduct in relation to notifica?ion of the denial of the PRO SE
motion for rehearing. However, in his writ application, Applicant
also complained about other actions of the court of appeals in
addition to that court's failure to NOTlFY Applicant that his

PRO SE motion for rehearing had been denied. Applicant also complained
that after the rehearing was denied, the court of appeals told
Applicant the rehearing was "still pending" and considered an
invaild second, or amended, motion for rehearing. Applicant's
Ground for Relief is that all these actions of the court of appeals
misled Applicant about the true deadline to file a PDR.

These additional actions of the court of appeals further
invaildate the State's, and convicting court's, focus on the

conduct of appellate counsel. lrrespective of what appellate
counsel did in this case, or what appellate counsel can remember
about what he did, these additional actions of the court of appeals
Still worked to mislead Applicant about the true due date to file
his PDR. Even if appellate counsel took the extraordinary step
and notified Applicant of the actions of the court of appeals
after counsel's duties in this case had ceasded -- those additonal
actions of the court of appeals still would have mi§led Applicant
about the due date forthe PDR.

Therefore, the convicting court's findings do not address
Applicant's actual Ground for Relief and the findings are not
supported by the record. This Court of Criminal Appeals should

grant RELIEF based upon the current record.

FOR APPLICANT TO RESP©ND TO NEW ALLE§ATIONS OF LACHES

TO THE HONORBALE JUDGES OF THIS COURT:

In its Response the STate claimed reasons for laches that
Applicant has not had an opportunity to address. True enough,
Applicant, Samuel Wade-Dooley, did extensively address laches
in his writ application (and supporting documents). However,
the State misconsdued;'and in effect replead, Applicant’s ground
for relief. Instead of addressing the court of appeals failure
to NOTIFY Applicant when the PRO SE motion for rehearing was
denied, the_State addressed appellate counsel's dutytho§fy Applicant
about the right to file a PRO SE PDR; Thus,_the State argued
for laches related to the conduct of counsel -- becuase counsel
cou¢ld not remember what happen. Applicant has not-had an opportunity
to address laches as related to the conduct.of'counsel.1 Applicant
is entitled to an opportunity to address laches as it relates
to the new allegations raised by the State.2“ See, Ex parte Smith,

RE: HOLD DOCUMENTS UNTIL TRIAL COURT FORWARDS WRIT APPLICATION
Dear Mr. Adams, ' l

l'am not sure if the trial_court has forwarded the writ
application in this case to this Court yet. The trial court
writ number is W401-81397-00-HC from the 401st District Court
in Collin County, Texas. On February 5, 201§.the trial court
entered its Order recommending that relief be denied and for
thewwrit application to be forwarded to this Court; lf the writ
application has not yet be forwarded or filed in this Court please
HOLD these documents to be FILED in that case when it is filed.

Basically, l do not trust the Collin County District Clerk
and the mail system to get the OBJECTIONS in the writ record
in time to be forwarded to this Court. So, l am mailing a copy
directly to this Court.

Thus, please find enclosed one original of the following
documents to file in this case:

1) Applicant’s PRO SE Motion to Hold Writ Application in
Abeyance for Applicant to Respond to New Allegations of
Laches;

2) Applicant’s PRO SE OBJECTIONS to Convicting Court's
Order (Findings and Conclusions) Recommending That Relief
be Denied;

3) EXHIBIT "AAA";

CRlMlNAL APPEALS OF TEXAS
…SAMUEEUWADEWDOOLEYMM MH_ ..1“~._ _, 11 mmm…mm……~_

c/y)c/:/`)c/:/)c/~/)891 S.W.2d 935, 944 (Tex.Crim.App.1994),
as modified by Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d 25, 27 (Tex.
Crim.App.1997)(both cases determining that counsel's

duty is completed when he provides notice about appellate
opinion); EXHIBIT "BBB" - Applicant's`Exhibit "D" (Rule

4.5 Motion - Motion Exhibit "2"), EXHBIT "CCC" -_Applicant's
Exhibit "Q" (Bench Warrant & Job Change Slip).

The State, and thus the convicting court, appears to have misunderstood
Applicant's postion. Applicant does`not complain about the conduct
of appelate counsel and does not rely directly on Ex parte Jarrett

and Ex parte Wilson that follow the Sixth Amendment. Rahterygq¥he%

Applicant's ground for relief is that the court of appeals denied
Applicant of DUE PROCESS by its actions, or incations, when that
court failed to NOTIFY Applicant when his PRO SE motion for rehearing
was denied (and other actions). See, State's Response pg. 2.

This was a denial of DUE PROCESS under the Fourteeth Amendment
because the failure to NOTIFY prevented "meaningful access and

an adequate opportunity" for Applicant to timely file a PDR.

See, Ross v. Moffitt, 94 S. Ct. 2437, 2444, 2447 (1974), Reese v.
§tate, 877 S.W.2d 328, 331, 333 (Tex.Crim.App.1994). l

STANDARD OF REVIEW

§he convicting court's findings of fact and conclusions
of law must be §upported by the writ record (including aimplied
findings). See, Ex parte Reed, 271 S.W.3d 6983 727 (Tex.Crim.
App.2008), Ex parte Wheeler, 203 S.Wl3d 317, 325-326 (Tex.Crim.
App.2006)(implied findigs). This Court of Criminal Appeals has
a statutory duty to review the convicting court's factual findings
and legal conclusions and to reject them when they are not supported
by the record. See, Ex parte Simpson, 136 S.W.3d 660, 668-669
(Tex.Crim.App.ZOOh).

BACKGROUND

Applicant presented one ground for relief in his writ application
which was that he was denied DUE PROCESS when the court of appeals
failed to NOTIFY him that his PRO SE motion for rehearing was
denied.A Applicant also addressed why laches should not prevent
the granting of relief; to include,because it was the State of

_ 41\<>_
Tean that refused to disclose material evidence,~that Tarrant

 

 

County Jail legal mail logs, that would demonstrate that no one
notified Applicant when his PRO SE motion for rehearing was denied.
See, Writ application - Ground Two. And, Applicant also explained
that he had just recently discovered internal court documents

from the court of appeals and this Court of Criminal Appeals.
These internal court documents\disclose.that the court of appeals
did not NOTIFY Applicant and the deadline for when this Court
considered the PDR was due. EXHIBIT "AAA" - Applicant's Exhibit "K";
Applicantls Exhibit "G".

The State responded with affidavits from appellate counsel

and TDCJ. Appellate counsel did not review the writ application
in order to make his affidavit; ratheg counsel relied upon an
unnamed person's (false) representation that the writ application
complained that counsel had failed to notify Applicant of the
right to file a PRO SE motion for rehearing or PRO SE PDR. See,
State's Exhibit "A" - Affidavit of Appellate Counsel. Appellate
counsel further stated that he could not recall for certain
if he notified Applicant "about these things" (the right to file
PRO SE pleadings). Nevertheless, the writ record does demonstrate
that appellate counsel did indeed notify Applicant about his
right to file a PRO SE motion for rehearing or PRO SE PDR on
July 3, 2002 and "closed" his file in this case on that date.
EXHIBIT "BBB" - Applicant's Exhibit "D" (Rule 4.5 Motion e Motion
Exhibit "2"). Thus, appellate counsel's affidavit does not-address
whether counsel notified,:or.had a practice to.notify, Appllicant,
after he closed his file in the case, when the court of appeals

denied the PRO SE motion for rehearing; Moreover, the-affidavit

from TDCJ is immaterial to this case because the writ record

demonstrates that at the time the PRO SE motion for rehearing
was denied, Applicant was not incarcerated in TDCJ but'was incarcerated
in the Tarrant County Jail. EXHIBIT "CCC" - Applicant's Exhibit "Q"
(Bench Warrant & TDCJ Job Change Slip).
Therefore, in its response the State calimed prejudice in
its ability to respond to the writ application. See, State's
Responcejpg,2-3. The State seemed to believe that the PDR was
due on Septemeber 2, 2002 pursuant to a moot extension of time
granted by this Court of Criminal Appeals. Thus, the State totally
ignored Applicant's ground that the court of appeals failed to
NOTIFY Applicant when his PRO SE motion for rehearing was denied.
Yet, this Court of Criminal Appeals considered the PDR due 30
days after the court of appeals failed to NOTIFY Applicant that
the PRO SE motion for rehearing had been deniedz EXHIBIT "AAA" -
Applicant's Exhibit "K"_(lnternal Court Docket Sheet - 11/14/2002)l
The convicting court signed and entered the proposed Order
provided by the State. The convicting court signed this Order
On February 5, 2015, just 5_working days after the State filed
its Response. Applicant learned of the convicting court's Order
when Applican€$Dad looked it up on the lnternet. (At the time
of writing these OBJETIONS Applicant has not received a copy
of the Order from the Collin County District Clerk nor the 401$t

District Court.) These OBJECTIONS follow. See, Tex. R. App. P., 73.%{€”§)
RULES RESTART DEADLINE TO FILE PDR (WHEN REHEARING lS DENIED)

ln its Response the State claimed that:

"[T]he Court of Criminal Appeals Docket Sheet,
[notes] that Court granted Applicant's pro se motion
for extension of time to file his Petition for

Discretionary Review on July 19, ZOQL, with the note

"NFE", which means no further extensions would be

permitted by the Court, thus indicating that Applicant

knew when his PDR was due." '

See, State's Respons, pg. 3. This led to the convicting court's
finding that:
"Applicant's writ materials indicate he knew
from the Court of Criminal Appeals when his Petition
for Discretionary Review was due."
This finding is not supported by the record.

lt is not in dispute that Applicant knew this Court granted
him an extension until Spetember 2, 2002 to file a PDR. Howeverz
after that extension was granted, the 5th District Court of Appeals
legally allowed Applicant to file a PRO SE motion for rehearing.1
Applicant's Exhibit FD" (COA Order -- 08/05/2002). When the
court of appeals denied the motion for rehearing, Rule 68.2(a)
of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure operated to restart
the time limit, or deadline, to file a PDR. Thus, the prior
deadline set by the extension, that Applicant was aware of, was
moot (and did not matter anymore).

Rather, as the writ record demonstrates, this Court of Criminal
Appeals considered the PDR due 30 days after the court of appeals
failed to NOTIFY Applicant that his PRO SE motion for rehearing
was denied. ExH1B11 "AAA" - Applicant'§_sxhibit "K" (Internal
Court Docket Sheet - 11/14/2002 "Remarks"). The PDR was due
on October 7, 2002. This is the deadline for which Applicant
was unaware as a result of the actions, or inactions, of the ,

5th District Court of Appeals. Nothing in the_record even tends

to support the finding that Applicant knew when his PDR was due.

 

l. See, Tex. R. App. P., 4.5. This rules allows the court of appeals to

grant a litigant additonal time to file a motion for rehearing when
the litlgant was not timely notifed of the court of appeals Opinon.

DUTY OF APPELLATE COUNSEL ENDED WHEN HE CLOSED HIS FILE IN THE CASE

C~ _"\5 :m~

_`;g_its Response the State claimed prejudice in its ability

 

to respond to the writ applicant because appellate counsel had
disposed of his files.2 See, State's Response, pg; 2-3. Further,
the State misrepresented appellate counsel's affidavit, claiming
that the affidavit addressed the ground for relief about nomtification
of the denial of_the PRO SE motion for rehearing. Appellate
counsel's affidaivt only addressed whether counsel notified Applicant
about the right to file a PRO SE motion for rehearing or PRO SE
PDR. See, State's Exhibit "A" - Affidavit of Appelate Counsel.
Nevertheless, the_convicting court accepted the State's arguement
and found that, "the State has been prejudiced in its ability
to respond to the writ." This finding is not supported by the record.
writ Primarly, as just mentioned, appellate counsel does NOT
address in his affidavit whether he remembers if he did, or would
have, notified Applicant of the denial of the PRO SE motion for
rehearing. .Rather, while admitting that he did not review the
writ applicationj counselistates that someone told him the writ
application complained that counsel did not notify Applicant
of the right to file a PRO SE motion for rehearing or a PRO SE
PDR. esee, state'$ Exhibit "A"'= Affidaivt of Appellate counsel.
Thus, the record does not support that the State proved prejudice
in its\ability to respond to the writ application.

ln fact, the record demonstartes that appellate counsel

did notify Applicant of the right to file a PRO SE motion for

Standards from Ex parte Carrio apply.’ Applicant will use the old standard

rehearing or PROAPDR. lndeed, on July 3, 2002 appellate counsel

notfied Applicant that "there is no room for any,.. motions for
re-hearing or petitions for discretionary review" and that counsel
was "closing [his] file in your case." EXHIBlT/"BBB" - Applicant's
Exhibit "D" (Rule 4.5 Motion - Motion Exhibit "2").` Appellate
counsel provided Applicant with a copy of the court of appeals
Opinion and made the decision not to help Applicant file a PDR.
Once appellate counsel did that, the "attorney-client relationship
Conclude[d]" and "the duty of counsel end[ed]».." See, Ex parte
Jarrett, 891 S.W.Zd at 944, Ex parte Wilson, 956 S.W.2d at 27.
Appellate counsel's duti§$towards-Applicant ended on July 3,2002'
and counsel had no duty to notify Applicant when the court of …
appeals denied the PRO SE motion for rehearing on September 6, 2002.
_Surely, given the opportunity, appellate counsel would remember
wheder he took the extraordinary step to notify Applicant of
the denial of the PRO SE motion for rehearing after his duties
in the case had ceased and when it was the appellate`courtis
duty to notify Applicant. v

Yet, whether or not counsel can specially remember what
he did -- that fact, in and of itself, is insufficent to invoke
the doctrine of laches. When this Court expanded its use of
the doctrine of laches in post-convction habeas corpus applications,
this Court adopted Texas' common law approach to laches.3 See,
Ex parte Perez, 398 S.W.3d 206, 215 (Tex.Crim.App;2013). Texas'

common law standards for laches requires the State to prove by

 

3. By addressing the new standards Applicant does not waive his arguemnt
' that because Ex parte Perez can not be applied retroactively to this
case that the old standards from Ex parte Carrio must be applied. lndeed,
under Ex parte Carrio the State must prove a particlularized showing of
prejudice, which could include that "'there are no other sources from which
the state can obtain the requisite information.'" See, Perez, 398 S.W.3d 5
at 212 n.6. Such as,in this case,the Tarrant County Jail_legal mail logs

that would also prove whether appellate counsel notified Applicant of the
denial of the PRO SE motion for rehearing.

a preponderance of the evidence both unreasonable delay and prejudice
resulting from that delay. ld. at 210 n.3. Nothing in the record
proves any prejudice whatsoever. However, even if a minimal

` amount of prejudice were evident, that claimed prejudice still
does not outweigh the justifiable excuses for the passage of
time presented by Applicant. See, ld. at 217. Moreover, that
minimal prejudice is not the type of "material prejudice" necessary
to invoke the doctrine of laches to prevent relief. See, ld. at 218.

Applicant's reasons for the passage of time included that

the State has refused to disclose the Tarrant County Jail legal
mail logs. These legal mail logs would disclose; not only that
the court of appeals failed to NOTIFY Applicant about the denial
d§ his PRO SE motion for rehearing, but also that appellate counsel
did not notify Applicant of that action. Thus, for the same-
reason that the State's refusal to disclose this material evidence
is a justifiable excuse for the passage of time as related to
the actions of the appellate court -- whether appellate counsel
can remember if he took the extraordinary step of notifing Applicant
can not be heldagainst Applicant.' See, State v. Munoz, 991 S.W.Zd 818,
822, 825 (Tex.Crim.App.1999); See also, Ex parte Perez, 398 S.W.3d
at 217 (following speedy trial analysis).h- lnteresting, despite
Applicant's complaints in the writ application about the State's
refusal to disclose the Tarrant County Jail legal mail logs --
the State has continued to fail to disclose them (or even that
they, like the TDCJ logs, no longer exist). One must wonder

why the State has never disclosed these records?

NOT lNCARCERATED_lN TDCJ AT TIME REHEARING WAS DENlED,

ln its response the State also claimed prejudice because

TDCJ did not retain mail logs from 2002 to show whether, "Applicant

received requiste notice in 2002." Yet, Applicant was incarcerated
in the Tarrant County Jail when the court of appeals failed to
NOTIFY Applicant that his PRO SE motion for rehearing had been
deni€d~ See, EXHIBIT "CCC" - Applicant's Exhibit "Q" (Bench
Warrant & TDCJ Job Change Slip). The TDCJ records are wholly
immaterial to the resolution of this case. Yet, the convicting
court accepted the State's arguement and found that "the State

has been prejudiced in its ability to respond to the writ."

This finding is not supported by the record.

On July 3, 20023 appellate counsel wrote Applicant in TDCJ.
EXHIBIT "BBB" - Applicant's Exhibit "D" (Rule 4.5 Motion - Motion
Exhibit "2"). However, on August 21, 2002, the TarranthOunty
Sheriff executed a Bench Warrant and took custody of Applicant
in the Tarrant County Jail. EXHIBIT "CCC" - Applicant's Exhibit "Q"
(Bench Warrant). On August 28, 2002, the court of appeals was

.notified of Applicant's change of address to the Tarrant Cdunty

Jail. Applicantds Exhibit "F" (Notice of Change of Address).
Thereafter, on September 6, 2001the 5th District Court of Appeals
denied Applicant's PRO SE motion for rehearing. Applicant's

Exhibit "E" (COA Order - 09/06/2002). On September 19, 2002

the court of appeals received pleadings from Applicant from the
Tarrant County Jail and on October 4, 2002 the court of appeals

mailed an Order to Applicant at the Tarrant Coun§§ljail (that
Applicant received). Applicant's Exhibit "H" (COA Order - 10/04/2002
& AMENDED PRO SE motion for rehearing). Finally, on-December 18, 2002
TDCJ completed "processing" Applicant back into TDCJ and assigned

him to a regular prison job. EXHIBIT`"CGC" - Applicant's Exhibit "Q" -

(TDCJ Job Change Slip).

4. Remembering that in speedy trial claims it was the State's passage of
-time that had to be explained and reasons for the State's passage of
time would necessary correspnd to the Applicant's reasons for the passage
of time,

Thus, the record is clear that at the time the 5th District'
Court of Appeals denied the PRO SE motion for rehearing (and

when the PDR was due) Applicant was incarcerated in :§§t Tarrant_
County Jail. Therefore, the record does not support the convicting

court's finding that TDCJ's failure to retain mail logs from

2002 prejudiced the State's ability to respond to the writ application.
CONCLUSION

Neither the.State nor the convicting court have actually
addressed the specfic ground for relief in the writ application.
Applicant's ground relies upon the DUE PROCESS Clause of the
Fourteeth Amendment to the U.S. Consitution. Nothing in the€
writ application makes any reference to the Sixth Amendment or
any complaints against appellate counsel. Thus, the convicting
court was incorrect to focusa on the conduct of appellate counsel.
Indeed, at the time_when the court of appeals failed to NOTIFY
Applicant of the denial of the PRO SE motion for rehearing, appellate
counsel's duties in the case had ceased. The inability to`confimm
any facts about the conduct of counsel could never prejudice
the State in this case. And, certainly, it would not be material
prejudice that would outweigh the State§s refusal to disclose
the very evidence that is needed to demonstrate that no one notified
Applicant when his PRO SE motion for rehearing was denied. ln
fact, the State has still refused to disclose this material evidence --
the Tarrant County Jail legal mail logs.

The convicting court's Order (Findings, Conclusion, and'

guwpo¥el _ _
Recommendations) is not support@eé by the record. Thls Court of

Criminal Appeals should hold that Applicant is entitled to RELIEF

based upon the present record. Alternatively, this Court should

hold the case in abeyance and require the convicting court to
hold an evidentary hearing (and enter appropriate findings).

Re: Dooley v. State _
Cause No_ 05-01-01172-CR
Our file No. 6545

Dear Mr. Dooley: `

I was surprised to receive your faxed letter of June 28, since the Court of Appeals
decided your case on June 4. My records show that we sent you copies of the Opinion
and the Judgment on June 6.

)

This is the reason I didn’t reply to your lengthy correspondence about the
proposed reply brief; by the time I received it, there was no point in filing a reply brief,
since the case was already decided. The reply brief would have added nothing to your
appeal; the court already knows that you disagree with the state’s point of view.

l

As l read the opinion, there is no room for any additional post-conviction
proceedings in the form of motions for re-hearing or petitions for discretionary review. As
I have told you since the beginning, anyone who is trying to overturn the result of a
voluntary open plea of guilty has an impossible task on his _or her hands. I am closing my
file in your case. Good luck in the future. I enclose additional copies of the opinion and
judgment of the court of appeals

Very truly yours,

is has

David K. Haynes
