        To     the honorable Justices of the Court of Criminal Appeals:

        Comes           now,     Isaac        Lamar      Thomas,     respectfully    compelling

this     court           to grant this motion ahd not consider any recommend-

ations        from        the        410th     District         court and make an independent

ruling        on        his     post        conviction      application for writ of Habeas

Corpus.        Mr.        Thomas        further         compells     this   court to allow him

to     file and have heard his objactions and rebuttal to the States

answer to his application for writ of Habeas Corpus in the alter-

native.

        Mr.        Thomas        relies        on the following grounds for the grant-

ing of this motion:

        1.     The        410th        District         Court     and/or    clerk of said court

has violated rule 73.5 of the Texas rules of Appellate procedure.

Mr.     Thomas           filed        his     application for writ of Habeas Corpus on

December           8,     2014. The Court entered an order designating issues

on     January           7,     2015.        Mr.    Thomas filed a motion with the 410th

District           Court        on     or     about      July     9, 2015 urging the court to

resolve        the        issues set forth or forward his application to this

court.        No        action        was taketi on Mr. Thomas' case until September

4,     2015,        when the State submitted it's answer. Which was nearly

two full months past the deadline set forth in rule 73.5(T.R.A.P.

        2.     The        clerk of the 410th district Court has violated rule

73.4(b)(5)              of the ['exas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Mr. Thomas

recieved           no     notification             of    extension     of    time for the 410th
District           Court     and     his     application was still not forwarded to

this court per rule 73.4(b)(5)                   T.R~A ..    P.

        Furthermore,           Mr.     Thomas        physically         recieved   the State's

answer,           findings     of     fact     and        conclusions      of law on Setember

14,     2015        which     he     later     di.scovered was the same day that the

410th        district        Court     upheld        the     recommendations of thB)State.

Mr.     Thomas        nonetheless          mailed his objections to the said court

on     or     about        September 17, 2015, but has yet to recieve any no-

tification that his objections were filed.

        Mr.        Thomas     believes        that he has shown this court that the

410th        District        court     and/or        clerk        has   unnecessarily delayed

his     Habeas        proceeding in direct violation of rules stated above

and     urges        this     court        to not consider any recommendations from

said        court     but     rather, make an independent ruling on his case.

In     the        alternative,        Mr.Thornas          asks     to   be allowed to have at

least        30     days     from     the date of the granting of this motion to

file        his     objections/rebuttal              to     the State's answer to be con-

sidered by this court.

                                                 2.
                                                 PRAYER

        For     the foregoing reasons, Mr.                 Thomas~      prays that   this~Hon~

arable court          grant        this       moton     to compel! and not consider any

recommendations             from        the     410th District Court but make lts own

independant          ruling        on     his post conviction application for writ

of     habeas    corpus.           In     the    alternative, Mr. Thomas         pr~y,~   that

this     Honorable          court       will     allow     him       the opportunity to file

and have heard his objections/rebuttal to the State's Answer.

                                                   ~tful~bmitted,
