              APPELLANT'S MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT
           THE APPELLATE COURT'S CLERK'S RECORD

      Appellant, Eric Drake, ask the Court to permit supplement of the

clerk's record that the trial court failed to file into the Court's record as

requested by the Appellant. See Exhibit "1."

      1.     Appellant Drake filed into the clerk of court record his amended

notice of appeal. The clerk stamp filed the Appellant's copy but like so

many other documents, Drake's amended notice of appeal is not contained

in the clerk's record that it forwarded to this Court.

      2.     Since filing his notice of appeal in the trial court, Appellant's

filings have disappeared, or were destroyed, or were prevented from being

filed into the trial court's record. It is the Appellant's opinion that this

amended notice of appeal will be extremely important for the higher courts

to review when Drake will have to file his appeals of this Court's decision.

      3.     An appellate court cannot refuse to file a supplemental

recorders record because a party did not make a timely request. TRAP

34.5(b)(4), 34.6(b)(3). Drake is powerless to make the clerk of court to

include his documents in this Court's records, but Drake want it to be on the

record that he has made this requests before the Appellee filed his brief and

WITH IDS AMENDED NOTICE OF APPEAL                                           1
before he is needing to file an appeal to any decisions of this Court.

      4.     Pursuant to TRAP the Clerk of Court and Court Reporters

Record must prepare these records when requested by a party. See Drake's

requests. Exhibit "2."

      5.     For these reasons, Appellant Eric Drake asks the Court to order

the clerk of court to submit his amended notice of appeal into this Court's

record as Drake has already requested the trial court to do, but has failed

again, to carryout simple requests made by the Appellant.

                                              Respectfully submitted:

                  PLAINTIFFS AMENDED NOTICE OF APPEAL

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

       1.      Plaintiff, Eric Drake (hereafter Plaintiff/Plaintiff), comes, filing this notice
of appeal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 25.1 desires to appeal the 353rd District Court's
Order (signed by visiting judge Charles Ramsay) declaring the Plaintiff as a vexatious
litigate, and all other orders signed on August 19, 2014, pursuant to the above entitled,
and numbered cause of action. Plaintiff assert and objects, and is appealing the following:
       Defendants have filed several motions with the Court. Motions to transfer,

motions to determine the Plaintiff as a vexatious litigate and motions to change venue.
None of the defendant's conference with the Plaintiff prior to filing their motions with the
Court, thus violating the local rules. The Court violated the TRCP in assigning visiting
judge to hear Defendant Willing's motion to declare Plaintiff vexatious.           Plaintiff is
appealing the August 19, 2014 order declaring him as a vexatious litigant, and the August
19, 2014 profiling order. The Plaintiff is appealing additionally all orders signed on
August 19,2014 in regards to the above entitled, numbered, and styled cause of action. In
Plaintiffs appeal he will show that the Court failed to follow the Tex. R. Civ. P., (18a
and 18b) and the Court's further violated the Plaintiffs due process rights, and his Texas
and Constitutional rights. Plaintiff is appealing the written order signed by Judge Charles
Ramsay on August 19, 2014 regarding Defendant declaring Plaintiff as a vexatious
litigant in its entirety. Plaintiff objects to the August 19, 2014 order signed by Charles
Ramsay in its entirety. Plaintiff objects to the order being that Defendant Seanna Willing
failed to prove by and through evidence submitted to the trial court that was entered into

PLAINTIFFS DRAKE AMENDED NOTICE OF APPEAL                                          PAGE 1
evidence that the Plaintiff had no reasonable possibility in prevailing against her. Plaintiff
is appealing the assignment of Charles Ramsay by Warren Vavra, who is not a judge and
has no authority to appoint a judge to hear a motion pursuant to the Tex. R. Civ. P., 18a
and 18b. Plaintiff objects to Warren Vavra assigning judges. Plaintiff objects to the
August 19, 2014 order of recusal and order of referral filed into the trial court's record in
the above cause of action. Plaintiff objects to the fact that he objected to Judge Charles
Ramsay prior to his beginning to hear Defendant Seanna Willing's motion to declare the
Plaintiff vexatious and he refused to recuse or hear the motion. Plaintiff files this appeal
because Charles Ramsay did not have the authority or jurisdiction to preside over
Defendant Seanna Willing's motion on August 19, 2014. Plaintiff objects to Judge
Charles Ramsay, because he is known to be unfair to nonwhites by apparent past rulings.
It appears that Charles Ramsay may be a racist. Plaintiff files this appeal in objection to
actual perjury which is a crime that was committed by Seanna Willing and her counsel
Scot Graydon who is an assistant attorney general for Texas. Plaintiff is filing this appeal
being that the trial court violated Plaintiffs due process rights and violated Tex. R. of
Evidence, and the provisions of Chapter 11 f the Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code. Plaintiff
files this appeal because the trial court failed to act on pending motions by the defendants
and the Plaintiff pertaining to jurisdiction and special exceptions prior to assigning a
visiting judge to hear Defendant Willing's motion on August 19, 2014. The Court failed
to follow proper procedure, pursuant to the Tex. R. Civ. P., and other rules, and statues.
Plaintiff is appealing the trial court's order of recusal and referral filed on August 19,
2014. Plaintiff files this appeal because the trial court abused its discretion, erred, and
ignored basis laws and principles, and even the Canons that judges should be guided by
were dismissed. Finally, Plaintiff files this appeal because of the many procedural errors
made by district judges and that the August 19, 2014 orders signed by district, County,
and a visiting judge are all procedurally defective and should be vacated. The Judges
should be sanctioned, disbarred, as well as Scot Graydon.
       This appeal is taken in Cause No. D-l-GN-14-001215, styled Eric Drake,
Plaintiff v. Kastl Law Firm et al Defendants.

        The filed his amended noticeof appeal in personand hand delivered the motion to
the clerk and yet, this notice does not appear in the clerk's record. Other filings of the
Plaintiff that he forwarded from Dallas has disappeared, however, in this case the
document was placed in the clerk's hand after the Plaintiff filed it with the front desk
person and it somehow is not included in the clerk's record. Plaintiff wants his amended
notice of appeal to be in the clerk's record and part of the appellate record for future
reference. Notice Attached as Exhibit "A."

Dear Honorable Clerk:

I am filing with you my docketing statement and sending a copy to the clerk's office in
Travis County. However, I have already filed once a Request for the Clerk's Records,
and Recorders Record. I also filed an affidavit of indigence, and a Notice of Appeal on
September 18, 2014, and sent another copy through the mail on September 19, 2014.
Neither copy of my notice of appeal can be found, which someone committed a federal
offense by destroying my documents that came through the mail. And all of those
documents has just disappeared and no one in the clerk's office can tell me where they
are. I have requested a federal investigation and I plan to sue the clerk of court in federal
court. But since all of my documents are destroyed I am sending you a copy along with
my docketing statement.

I you need to reach me regarding this letter or for any other reasons please contact me at
