SECOND MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE OUT OF TIME PDR OF INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL
DUE TO JURISDICTIONAL DEFECT
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF' THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
Comes now Randall Bolivar, Petitioner Pro Se, and respectfully moves the Court to grant him leave to file an out of time Petition for Discretionary Review (PDR) in the Court of Criminal Appeals, and support shows: FACTS
1. Appellant filed a pre-trial writ of habeas corpus, and a hearing was held June 14, 2011 in the 107TH District Court of Cameron County, Texas. (RR-I6) 2. The trial court denied the requested relief, and an interlocutory appeal ensued. (Thirteenth Court of Appeals, Cause No. 13-11-00397-CR) 3. The Thirteenth Court of Appeals delivered a published opinion, by Justice Gregory T. Perkes, on November 1, 2012. The case is cited as EX PARTE RANDALL BOLIVAR, 386 S.W.3d 338 (Tex. App. Corpus Christi 2012). 4. Appellate counsel wrote Appellant on November 3, 2012 to notify Appellant of the appellate court's affirmation, but did not advise Petitioner of his rights to petition this Court for discretionary review. (Exhibit Attached). 5. Appellant first became aware of his rignt to aPDR in the instant case on May 11, 2015 while reviewing the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedures in anticipation of having to respond to any brief or objection filed by the State in response to the Writ of Mandamus and Stay of Proceedings filed by Petitioner in this Court. (Cause No. WR-79,354-03). 6. Appellant has never received the trial court's order of denial, nor has the trial court's Clerk's Record been made available to Appellant. Just recently has Appellate counsel made the Appellate Brief and State's Brief. 7. Appellant has never been appraised of his rights under Rule 68, TRAP, as required under Rule 48.4, TRAP. Appellate Court's record supports his claim. ARGUMENT
Appellant argues due to interlocutory Appellate Counsel, Luis P. Garcia and Lisa G. Greenberg, failing to inform Appellant that he had fifteen (15) days to file either a motion for extension of time to file PDR, or to file the PDR
proper, pursuant to Rule 68, TRAP, as shown in the attached Exhibit. (JPAY letter from Lisa G. Greenberg). Garcia and Greenberg have a duty as appellate counsel to notify Appellant of his time limits to file the motion for extension or PDR proper, in which both attorneys failed to do soand follow Rule 48.4, TRAP, requirements in sending Appellant, via Certified Mail, notice of the Court of Appeals opinion and that Appellant must file said motion for extension or PDR, see id. Because Appellate Counsel failed to notify Appellant of TRAP Rule 68 requirements to file for an extension or PDR, this Court has repeatedly held as precedent in the past that Appellant should be granted leave to file a PDR due to an appellate counsel's failure to notify. This reasoning is also in line "with the rule that defendants have a right to effective assistance of counsel on appeal." LAFLER v. COOPER, 132 S.Ct. 1376, 1385 (2012). Appellate Counsel's duties on appeal continue until Rule 48.4 has been executed by counsel. Appellant's interlocutory appeal addressed a separate conviction from the I05TH District Court of Kleberg County, Texas (Cause No. 06-CRF-0501) other than the 107TH District Court of Cameron County, Texas (Cause No. 09-CR-2869-A), conviction in wnich the Kleberg Court, prior to the Cameron County Murder trial, found that as to Count I to the Kleberg Motion To Revoke of the same Cameron County murder allegation to be "NOT TRUE," therein divesting Cameron County of JURISDICTION/ which cannot be waived, and can be brought forth at any time, in any court. See EX PARTE PATTERSON, 969 S.W.2d 16, 19 (CCA 1998); HOUSTON GEN. INS. CO. v. ATER, 843 S.W.2d 225, 227 (Tex. App. El Paso 1992). Therefore, by this Court's prior denial of leave to file out of time PDR was in ercorcreating a fundamental constitutional violation of significant magnitude due to jurisdictional issue. PRAYER
Wherefore, premises considered, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court will grant leave to file an out of time PDR in Cause No. 13-11-00397-CR, from the Thirteenth Court of Appeals. Respectfully Submitted,
