NOTICE OF APPEALS

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES:

I Gary Wayne Barnes Sr. the Pre SE movant in cause number of Dallas county convictions in indictments F-80-0165303J F-81-01105-J, F-81¥01027-J and F-81-02518-J request to file an appeal in the ;above numbered causes in the Article 64.04 findings as the court' ORDER is signed on the ll,th Day of Dec. 2014.

The movant files notice of Appeal Pre Texas Code of Criminal Procedures Chapter 64.04 supported by his contemporaneously

filed Memorandum and applicatant attachements and Exhibits in support of the Writ of Habeas Corpus presently pending in the above entitled petition numbers;.

Per Texas Code of Criminal Procedures chapter 64.04 by use and by reference thereto the materials contained in movant's attached MOTION FOR DNA TESTING , contemporaneously filed Memorandum in Sopport of the Writ of Habeas Corpus with movants

Attachements and Exhibits reflects the following;

On Feb. 20 2009, the movant was granted DNA testing and testing' was premitted by the DPS with the results released on May l3, 2009. The court theld a result hearring on June 8, 2009 and durring the hearing it became apperrant that thur no fault of the movant the §§tater had tested the "Wrong evidence";

l. the actual crime scence evidence was withhheld and replaced with evidence of an un-related set of offenses:

2. The evidence that was tested is not the actual crime scence evidence for offenses that was committed on July 4, 1980 as the SWIFS , crime lab files presently shows the evidence tested in file numbers 80-p-1632 and 80-p-l635 was filed

in the S IFS crime Lab in the Month of Feb 6, 1980_(6) months‘ prior to and before the date of the commission of the offenses, being committed. I.

In this case the movant will establish Equatable Tolling of extraordiniary circumstances justifying the delay in obtaining- the newly discovered, newly presented evidence_ in the presentation of a 'ORDER' of the convicting court/ having all records and files sealed,

The evidences records and files was Ordered Sealed by the convicting Court Judge on June 25, 2009 which has worked to inpead the movant from obtaining the withheld actual crime scence evidence. l 7

On June 8, 2009 the movant filed an objection in opeH court that the court take Judicial Notice concerning the findings of the results of the chapter 64;04 as the evidegce was faulty and not the aactual crime scence evidence as the resul§s was con- tridictory to the sworn testimony and the statements of the victims that prior to the offenses being committed she had

never had a sexual intercourse with a male or a female§!

The Results in the test results states that the DNA pro- files of a un-Known Male and Three un-known and un-identified females profiles which is un-explainable in~a case where the

victims sworn statements and trial testimomy are a contridiction

-of the findings.

These findings along wch the movants knowledge ii knowing that he did not commit these offenses presents issues ofv

the evidence is questionable;

II.

On June 8, 2009 at the result finging hearing a women in the court gave a note to the Bailiff to give to the movant stating that the evidence was wrong, not the actual crime scence evidence_ This was reflected in the movants Objections and request for Judicial notice.

The movant, was not allowed to file a Notice of appeal as the Judge rushed to seal the files as being confidential and

by the same stroke of the pen the Judge approved an order for

Appeal Page 2.

the movant's court appointed attorney to withdraw as the attorney of records. (see Movants Habeas Corpus application page 7.)

The movant points to the case in McQuiggins V. Preking'

133 s. et. 1924 (2013) _where the United states supreme codrt

has held that a claim of actual innocence if proven is a gateway by which the movant can raise a claim of actual innocence.

In this Appeal the movant can show the exceptional

set of circumstances in the convicting court filed a "ORDER" to` Seal the Files, Records which has 'impeaded the movant from

obtaining the files and the records that was mailed ;LQ movant' on May 16, 2014 in a un-markedb.no returnable postage legal

envolope, mailed to the prison mail room that has been recorded as questionable legal mail with no-returable address¢not on movants mailing list. l '

The SWIFS lab files was mailed to the movant, and the movant did not and has not violated the court order, making copies of the files, but use the files as movant's Attachements and Exhibits A thur L in presenting the files in the movants 1 Memorandum in Support of the Writ of Habeas Corpus showing that the actual crime scence evidence has not been presented to the court. _

The movant has been convicted of offenses that was committed on July 4, .1980, but the evidence that has been presented to the `court as states Exhibit 3 and tested by the DPS in file numbers 80-p-1632 and 80-p-1635 was on file in the SWIFS crime lab Feb. 6, 1980 (6) months prior to the offenses was committed.

The police report in the Dallas` police Department files of number #307064-1 is also a 'filing that was filed in that department in the month on feb, 1980 and is not the case in the same transaction of the offenses committed on July 4, 1980 in the Dallas Police Department filing number of 506950-L

same tranaction .

III. In the interest of justice in q a miscariage of justice in the conviction 'of a innocence person where the actual crime scence evidence has been withheld this court is`

Appeal Page 3.

in the position of a review of the files a review to which the movant ,has been impeaded from presenting &from showing

due to the June 25, 2009 court order to seal the files as .confidential.

The movants Attachements and Exhibits clearly shows by McQuiggins V. Perkins, clear and convicing evidence that the actual crime scence_has been withheld; l

In the state not presenting the actual crime scence evidence at the movants trial has deprived the movant of his constitutional right to due process and the right to legal sificient evidence to support the verdicts, judgements and the sentences.

A review of the files in this case will show that the convicting court has already Granted.the movant's Motion for DNA Testing on Feb. 19, 2009 (see Attachement and Exhibit A thur L and

attached here as Exhibit a) through no éroi of the movant

the state has tested the wromg evidence_

The Judge of the convicting court has stated in the records that the movant has established that he wis-entitle to the requirments as set of in the statute in requesting DNA test- ing as authorized by Chapter 64. 01, 02,and 03. (a) (2).

The movant can now show 'this court by a review of the’

filing systems of the Dallas Police Department and the filing systems of the Southwest Institute of Fresence Science Lab that the actual crime scence evidence for the offenses that was commiytted on July 4, 1980 is not the evidence that was submitted for testing in file numbers 80-p-1632 and 80-p-

1635 tested in DPS file number LlD-184098-2 with the results of May 13, 2009.
