            In Re Karl Schonwalder

   Original Proceeding and Emergency Relief
From the 397th District Court of Grayson County

        EMERGENCY PETITION TO
   HEAR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS AND
  TO STAY LOWER COURT PROCEEDINGS

                                               Karl Schonwalder

 1          To the Honorable Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals, for Texas.

 2                                                        I.

 3          Karl Schonwalder, is the defendant in error, in a criminal action brought on April 15, 2015, in the

 4   397th District Court of Grayson County, entitled the State of Texas, Plaintiff v Karl Schonwalder,

 5   Defendant, Cause No. 065584. This action was predicated upon an unlawful administrative procedure, a

 6   copy is which is not attached because Defendant in Error has not received any process at this time, and no

 7   probable cause affidavit is available in the subsequent corresponding, unlawful, criminal action.

 8   Defendant in Error is told that no probable cause affidavit exists, and it is further claimed by the

 9   prosecution that it is not necessary under the existing circumstances.

10                                                        II.

11           The arrest and incarceration of Defendant in Error was made on February 8, 2015. A Habeas

12   Corpus was filed with the federal court within 30 days of the arrest and was timely filed under 28

13   U.S.C.1446(b). The federal court has denied the Writ of habeas without prejudice, for failure to exhaust

14   state administrative procedures and the Defendant in Error has timely filed for writ of habeas in this

15   court. The 397th District Court of Grayson County was given notice of this case, but has not stopped their

16   proceeding.

17          The court is herein required to review the Writ of Habeas Corpus forthwith as Wrongfully

18   Accused is currently being unlawfully incarcerated in violation of the Constitution, which is the purpose

19   of the Writ, or respond as to why the court has not taken action in this case in a timely manner due to said

20   unlawful incarceration.

21          Further, a request is herein made of this court to require the 397th District Court of Grayson

22   County to stay it's proceedings.

23                  WHEREFORE, Karl Schonwalder, pursuant to these statutes and in conformance with the

24   requirements set forth requires a response from this court, on this day of 18th Day of August, 2015.
