 OP LAW,      and     forwarded all documents to the Court of Criminal appals, [A]p~
 plicant submitted the following for consideration by the trial court;

           (i).     APPLICANT'S MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF HABEAS CORPUS filed
           NOVEMBER 04, 2014 . NOTICE: THIS MEMORANDUM EXPLAINS THE STATE IMPEDIMENTS
           PLACED UPON APPLICANT, which effectively prevents him from presenting
           his claims    earlier, and even NOW.
           (ii).    APPLICANT'S PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACTS & CONCLUSION OF LAW,
           with     BRIEF IN SUPPOST,      Dated:    NOVEMBER   13, 2014. The letter to the
           CLERK ecplained that applicant was UNABLE TO SERVE A COPY UPON THE
           District Attorney's office [IMPEDIMENTS], and asked, Mr. Smith to retriave
           a copy from the clerk's files;
           (iii). APPLICANT'S NON-SUPERSEDING APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS,

       Thus, applicant submitted FOUR [4] MORE documents to be considered
 by the    Trial court PRIOR, to transferring the application to the court
 of Criminal appeals        for fi&al disposition.
           The K08SHBER 18« 2014 letter to the clerk, AGAIN explained that appli
  cant   simply was not able to provide a copy of the documents to the Aast;
District Attorney/and asked [HIM] to obtain a copy froma the Clerk's files.
       Today is now DECEMBER 15, 2014, and the clerk's office HAS NOT ACKNa-JLEDG-

those crucial documents will be forwarded to the TEXAS    COURT   OF CRIMINAL
