            APPELLANT REQUEST PERMISSION TO ENTER

                  NOTICE OF SCRIVENER'S ERRORS

_______________________________________________________________________

                            Sherry Rhodes
                          2001 Logan's Pointe
                       Mount Vernon, Texas 75457
                             214 530 7501
TO THE JUSTICES OF THE COURT:

      It is with great embarrassment and humility that Appellant Pro Se (Rhodes) files

this Request to Notice pursuant to Doctrine of Scrivener's Error. Request is not to

prejudice party, as Appellee's have effectively failed to timely file brief as Ordered .

Nor is request intended to burden Court, delay review or submission. But instead, to

offer to the Court easier maneuvering through Plaintiff’s Brief for analysis and review

due to clerical err, and/or Supplemental index reference without Volume identification.

No issue or content is compromised in Appellant's brief by this notice.

Statement:

      During the time Rhodes starting preparing her brief, she was receiving index

information that she believed incomplete. Requested supplements to the original index

started trickling without Volume Cover to Appellant. The Deputy Clerk recognized the

problem, and sent Vol. 1-3 Supp Indexes with identification Cover in May of 2015.

Another Index was received June 17 without a Volume. In June 30th brief, Rhodes used

the Index document numbers, presumed to be first volume in new Suits and recusal

issues. Today, September 29, upon request, it was resent with Cover as Suppl. Vol. 4.

By May and June, Appellant had initiated suits in district yielding appeal, approaching

hearings, facing new issues and deadlines in COA, and time was an elusive commodity.

Rhodes admits to being overwhelmed as she maneuvers thru system attempting legalese.

                                            1
IF IT PLEASES THE COURT:

       Appellant would like to offer more complete Supplemental information, inclusive

of Supplemental 4 received today to assist the court by Volume reference as shown on

“List”. See List, Exhibit A, Section One.

       Further, Appellant, accepting responsibility and consequence, is beyond

embarrassment that she also drafted inadvertent err in other references. She recognizes

her difficulties in this area, and that she no longer has the full range of professional

capabilities which she has retained proudly her whole life. See List, Exhibit A, Section

Two.

       Appellant, Rhodes, Pro Se, humbled, extends her apologies for burdening this

Court with such trivial matter, and unintentionally tasking Court's review of Rhodes'

brief; or with this Request when Court has such important matters before the Justices.

                                   Prayer and Request

       It is for these reasons that Appellant offers the Court this Request and Notice, and

ask the court allow err information for reference specifically to assist the Court in

review. Any alternative determination will be graciously accepted.

                                                     Respectfully Submitted by:
