                       MOTION FOR REHEARING/REINSTATEMENT FROM THE
                 DISMISSAL   OF    APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

           Petitioner/Applicant,                    Michael          Shayne Hansley, submits this

    motion       for     rehearing/reinstatement                         asking     the    Texas Court of

    Criminal       Appeals        to     reconsider                its        dismissal    of the pro se

    application          for writ of habeas corpus and with respect                              thereto,

    will show the following:

                                           A.       INTRODUCTION

           1.      Applicant           filed        his    pro           se     application for writ of

    habeas       corpus     seeking        relief           from          the     judgment in the 212Th

    Judicial           District        Court        of    Galveston              County, Texas in cause
    numbers      ll-CR-1177,      ll-CR-1'178,            and       ll-CR-1179.

           2.      On February           10,    2015,       the trial court entered an order

    with     a    general    denial            of     all          relief sought and the same was

                                                    Page       1
forwarded           to     this        court           on or about the 13th day of February,

2015.

        3.         On     March        4,       2015    this Court dismissed without written

order        the        application for writ of habeas corpus for a rule 73.1

Texas        Rules        of     Appellate              Procedure             procedural     violation for

exceeding the 50-page limit of a non-computer generated memorandum

of law in support of the application.

                                      B.    ARGUMENT          &   AUTHORITIES

        4.         The     Court of Criminal Appeals should grant a rehearing

and     reinstate              the     application                for        writ    of habeas corpus for
an     adequate          review            of     the     unconstitutional               claims presented
therein.

        5.         Dismissal           of the application for writ of habeas corpus
for non-compliance with rule 73.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate
Procedure (TRAP) is                    not       the      appropriate               method   in accordance

with     handling          a pro se application when the trial court refused
to     rule    on        the         pro se filed                 Motion To Exceed the Page Limit
as     indicated          by         the     transcript presented to this Court..                      The

Applicant          cannot            force the trial court to rule on filed motions
before it.          The trial               court        does          not    have     the   discretion to
refuse to rule. In rs Shredder Co., 225 S.W.3d 676, 679 (Tex.App.-
El paso 2006, orig. proceeding.).

       6.      Applicant              complied           with          all     requirements      by filing
the appropriate motions with the convicting                                         court.   Rule 73.1(d).
The    trial        court        refused            to    rule and prevented Applicant from
correcting          the        page limit requirement prior to the clerk filing
the   same with this Court.

                                                       Page       2,
        7.         In        the     two       filed        Motions         requesting          to exceed the

page     limits              (See trnscript pgs.. 386,                  393) and established "good

cause"        to        exceed           the     page       limit.      However,          the court refused

to    rule on any filings.                     Id.       Shredder.-

        8.         A     total           miscarriage             of justice is established in the

unconstitutional                    conviction             of     applicant which is clearly pre

sented        in        the        application.                 Coleman v. Thompson,              501 U.S. 722

(1991);        Murray v.             Carrier,            47 7 U.S. 478 (1986).          The trial court

has     refused              to     correct          a     clear      error of law and process and

the     same           has        been     presented             to this Court of which Applicant

is      respectfully                 requesting             to be reinstated and ruling on the
merits be given.

                                                     C.    PRAYER.

        9.         Wherefore,              for       these        reasons     stated in this motion,

Applicant           respectfully                 asks           the   Court of Criminal Appeals to
grant        this       motion           and      reinstate           the    Application for writ of
habeas corpus and issue a ruling on the merits.

                                                                        Respectfully submitted,

as     indicated              by     the        transcript presented to this Court..                    The

Applicant           cannot           force the trial court to rule on fi&ld motions

before it.              The trial           court       does          not     have    the    discretion to

refuse to rule. In re Shredder Co., 225 S.W.33 676, 679 (Tex.App.-
El paso 2006, orig. proceeding.).

        6.      Applicant             complied              with       all    requirements       by filing
the appropriate motions withtlshe convicting                                       court.    Rule 73.1(d).

The     trial           court        refused           to    rule and prevented Applicant from
correcting              the        page limit requirement prior to the clerk filing
the    same with this Court.

       7.         In        the     two        filed     Motions      requesting             to exceed the

page     limits             (See trnscript pgs. 386, 393) and established "good

cause"       to        exceed           the     page     limit..     However,      the court refused

to rule on any filings.                        Id. Shredder.

        8.        A     total           miscarriage          of justice is established in the

unconstitutional                   conviction           of     applicant which is clearly pre

sented       in        the        application.               Coleman v. Thompson,             501 U.S. 722

(1991);       Murray v.             Carrier,          477 U.S. 478 (1986).          The trial court

has    refused              to     correct        a     clear      error of      law and process and

the    same           has        been     presented           to   this Court of which Applicant

is      respectfully                requesting           to be reinstated and ruling on the

merits be given.

       9.         Wherefore,              for     these        reasons      stated in this motion,

Applicant             respectfully               asks        the    Court of Criminal Appeals to

grant        this       motion           and     reinstate          the   Application for v/rit of

habeas corpus and issue a ruling on the merits.
