APPLICANT'S SUGGESTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

OF COURT'S DISMISSAL OF APPLICANT'S WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS,

PURSUANT TO C.C.P. ART. 11.07/ ON THE COURT'S OWN MOTION

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

NOW COMES, CHRISONDATH BADALL, Applicant, proceeding pro se

in the above styled and numbered cause, respectfully makes his

suggestion for reconsideration of the Court's DISMISSAL of

Applicant's Writ of Habeas Corpus, pursuant to V.A.C.C.P. ART.

11.07, on the Court's own motion. In support thereof, Applicant,

hereinafter referred to as, "BADALL," would show the Court the

following:

I.

Applicant's request for this Court's reconsideration of its

DISMISSAL of Applicant's art. 11.07, Writ of Habeas Corpus, on

its own motion is authorized by T.R.A.P. Rule 79.2(d).

1. II.

Applicant believes the Court's reconsideration of its DISMISSAL of Applicant's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus (11.07) is required in the interest of justice for the following reason:

THE CLERK OF THE CONVICTING COURT AND/OR COURT OF CRIMINAL

APPEALS UNREASONABLY DISMISSED APPLICANT'S APPLICATION FOR WRIT

OF HABEAS CORPUS (11.07), IN VIOLATION OF APPLICANT'S DUE PROCESS

RIGHT, PURSUANT TO THE 14TH AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION,

ARTICLE I, §12, OF THE TEXAS CONSTITUTION, TEXAS CODE OF CRIMINAL

PROCEDURE, ART. 1.08, 11.05, 11.07, AND T.R.A.P. RULE 73.1 &j2.

RELEVANT FACTS

The record reveals that on August 13, 2012, the Court of

Criminal Appeals received Mr. Badall's Application for Writ of

Habeas Corpus (11.07) in Cause No. WR-78,218-01, but DISMISSED

the Application for non-compliance on August 22, 2012. See:

(WR-78,218-01)

At no time prior to the Court's dismissal of Badall's Application was he notified by either, the Clerk of the convicting Court or the Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals of any defect(s)

within the Application, as required by T.R.A.P. Rule 73.2, nor

was Mr. Badall, or the convicting Court notified of the Court's

dismissal of the Application on August 22, 2012. See: (EXHIBIT-A)

Due to reason, the convicting court was not advised of the

dismissal of Badall's Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus,

and believed it was still active, the convicting court conducted

2. a "LIVE" evidentiary hearing on June 11, 2013, pursuant to

V.A.C.C.P. art. 11.07, §3(d). The convicting court (75th Judicial

District Court of Liberty, County, Texas), in addition, appointed

Mr. Badall an attorney specifically for the evidentiary hearing

process. See: (WR-78,218-01)

After the evidentiary hearing was conducted, counsel for the

state and counsel for Mr. Badall submitted their Proposed Findings

of Fact and Conclusions of Law for the trial Judge's consideration.

On September 23, 2013, the Court of Criminal Appeals received

the Supplemental Clerk's Record from the convicting court, which

included the record of the evidentiary hearing and the Findings

of Fact and Conclusions of Law rendered by the trial judge.

On February 24, 2015, Mr. Badall sent a letter to the Court

of Criminal Appeals requesting a status report on his pending

Application for writ of habeas corpus. After no response, Mr.

Badall sent another letter to the Court of Criminal Appeals,

along with a letter to his appointed attorney, requesting a

status report. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

On March 27, 2015, Mr. Badall's appointed attorney responded

by informing Badall that his Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus

was DISMISSED for NON-COMPLIANCE almost (2) years prior to his

status report request, on August 22, 2012. See: (EXHIBIT-B)

Mr. Badall, although still not knowing the reason(s) for the

dismissal of his Application, immediately prepared and submitted

another Application for Writ of Habeas Corpus, pursuant to

3. V.A.C.C.P. art. 11.07.

On June 19, 2015, Mr. Badall's Application for Writ of Habeas

Corpus was again DISMISSED for NON-COMPLIANCE pursuant to T.R.A.P.

Rule 73.2. See: (EXHIBIT-C)

As before, Mr. Badall was not notified by either the Clerk

of the convicting Court, or the Clerk of the Court of Criminal

Appeals regarding what defects, if any, needed corrected for

compliance with Rule 73. See: (EXHIBIT-A)

ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES

An application filed under Article 11.07, Texas Code of Criminal

Procedure, must be filed on the prescribed 11.07 form application.

See: EX PARTE BLACKLOCK, 191 S.W.3d 718, 719 (Tex.Crim.App. 2006)

(citing T.R.A.P. Rule 73.1(a)).

Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 73.1(c), the person making the

application must provide all information required by the form.

The application must specify all grounds for relief, and must

set forth in SUMMARY :fashion the FACTS supporting each ground.

The application must not cite cases or other law. Legal citations

and arguments may be made in a separate memorandum. The application

must be typewritten or handwritten legibly.

As the record reveals, Mr. Badall sufficiently complied to

each and every requirement set forth in Rule 73.1(a) through

(d), in-BOTH applications submitted by Badall. See:.(WR-78^218-01). Pursuant to T.R.A.P. Rule 73.2, the Clerk of the convicting

court will not file an application that is not on the form prescribed

by the Court of Criminal Appeals, and will RETURN THE APPLICATION

TO THE PERSON WHO FILED IT, with a copy of the original form.

The Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals may, without filing

an application that does not comply with this rule, return it

to the Clerk of the convicting court, with a notation of the

defect, AND THE CLERK OF THE CONVICTING COURT WILL RETURN THE

APPLICATION TO THE PERSON WHO FILED IT, with a copy of the official

form.

As stated previously, Mr. Badall was never notified by either

Court Clerk that his application had been dismissed on August

22, 2012, nor was informed for what reason(s) it was dismissed,

until he requested a status report on February 24, 2015, and

March 13, 2015, etc. See: (EXHIBIT-A, B)

A question has to be raised as to, if Mr. Badall or the trial

judge knew the Application was dismissed on August 22, 2012,

why then would the trial judge conduct a "live" evidentiary hearing

and enter his Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law on the

same Application on June 11, 2013?

Also, another question must be raised, if the Clerk of the

convicting Court fulfilled her duties mandated by art. 11.07,
