IN THE

COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS

MICHAEL SHAYNE HANSLEY,

Petitioner,

v. MOTION DEWED) ) THE STATE OF TEXAS, ^ Respondent.

MOTION FOR REHEARING/REINSTATEMENT FROM THE DISMISSAL OF APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

Petitioner/Applicant, Michael Shayne Hansley, submits this

motion for rehearing/reinstatement asking the Texas Court of

Criminal Appeals to reconsider its dismissal of the pro se

application for writ of habeas corpus and with respect thereto,

will show the following:

A. INTRODUCTION

1. Applicant filed his pro se application for writ of

habeas corpus seeking relief from the judgment in the 212Th

Judicial District Court of Galveston County, Texas in cause numbers ll-CR-1177, ll-CR-1'178, and ll-CR-1179.

2. On February 10, 2015, the trial court entered an order

with a general denial of all relief sought and the same was

Page 1 forwarded to this court on or about the 13th day of February,

2015.

3. On March 4, 2015 this Court dismissed without written

order the application for writ of habeas corpus for a rule 73.1

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure procedural violation for

exceeding the 50-page limit of a non-computer generated memorandum

of law in support of the application.

B. ARGUMENT & AUTHORITIES

4. The Court of Criminal Appeals should grant a rehearing

and reinstate the application for writ of habeas corpus for an adequate review of the unconstitutional claims presented therein.

5. Dismissal of the application for writ of habeas corpus for non-compliance with rule 73.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure (TRAP) is not the appropriate method in accordance

with handling a pro se application when the trial court refused to rule on the pro se filed Motion To Exceed the Page Limit as indicated by the transcript presented to this Court.. The

Applicant cannot force the trial court to rule on filed motions before it. The trial court does not have the discretion to refuse to rule. In rs Shredder Co., 225 S.W.3d 676, 679 (Tex.App.- El paso 2006, orig. proceeding.).

6. Applicant complied with all requirements by filing the appropriate motions with the convicting court. Rule 73.1(d). The trial court refused to rule and prevented Applicant from correcting the page limit requirement prior to the clerk filing the same with this Court.

Page 2, 7. In the two filed Motions requesting to exceed the

page limits (See trnscript pgs.. 386, 393) and established "good

cause" to exceed the page limit. However, the court refused

to rule on any filings. Id. Shredder.-

8. A total miscarriage of justice is established in the

unconstitutional conviction of applicant which is clearly pre

sented in the application. Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722

(1991); Murray v. Carrier, 47 7 U.S. 478 (1986). The trial court

has refused to correct a clear error of law and process and

the same has been presented to this Court of which Applicant

is respectfully requesting to be reinstated and ruling on the merits be given.

C. PRAYER.

9. Wherefore, for these reasons stated in this motion,

Applicant respectfully asks the Court of Criminal Appeals to grant this motion and reinstate the Application for writ of habeas corpus and issue a ruling on the merits.

Respectfully submitted,

Michael S. Hansley," Clements Unit-18154^7 9601 Spur 591 Amarillo, TX 79107-9606 Pro se March 13, 2015
