MEMORANDUM

The issuance of a writ of mandamus is a extreme remedy. Its use is limited to instances where: 1). A official has failed to

preform a lawful, essentially ministerial duty; 2). The Relator has not other viable remedy at law to compel the official to act. The Respondents have failed to prevent violations of the

Relator's rights to due process and fast and speedy trial and in so doing dismissing all warrants, holds, indictments, complaints et-cetra against him known or unknown to the Relator and by failure of Respondents to perform their duties have prejudiced the Relator and violated his secured rights.

The writ of mandamus is the only viable remedy at law to compel the officials to act.

The Respondents has failed to perform their duties to

secure the Relator's secured rights, and further dismiss all

complaints, warrants, holds et-cetra against the Relator when he further attempted to remedy the matter before this Honorable

Court of his violated rights by multiple attempts to obtain a fast and speedy trial and dismissal of the addressed complaints, warrants, holds, et-cetra after gross neglect of the Respondents during the years of attempted remedies by the Relator! It is

clear that the Respondents have either failed or refused to even

attempt to comply with State and Federal law and/or secured

constitutional amendments. Consequently, the lasp of time has prejudiced any defense the Relator would have had in rememberance

of detail, knowledge of witnesses and vital culpable and

-4- exculpable facts necessary to show actual innocence or key

factors. It must be evident that this Relator has attempted any

and all appropriate exhaustive attempts of a remedy and all such

attempts has thus far failed to remedy the issues at hand and

error lies on part of the trial court of Sabine County, Texas in

this case and that the primary issue for this appellate court

must be in the interest to enforce the constitution of both State

and Federal Government and restore the rights that are being over

looked in ignorance of multiple attempts made by this Relator.

The actions of the Respondents are not in the best interest

of justice.

Jurisdiction is proper, not just by statue under Texas State

law, or that of rule of court, but... for interest to secure our

constitutional intent set forth by our forfathers to overturn the

crown and a single sided monarchy.

This Court has "un-wavering" jurisdiction, by rule of Court

and rights of Relator.

V.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

Wherefore Premises considered, Relator, Donald Adkins... in

pro-se, respectfully request that this Honorable Court finds that

the Respondents has either failed or refused to perform its

ministerial duty and has not upheld the letter of the law and/or

the constitutional intent and therefore, set forth the following:

The Relator prays for an order by this Honorable Court

directing the Respondents to comply with the mandates set forth

by the constitution in the Promise of Due Process and a fast and speedy trial and dismiss with prejudice all counts held against

the Relator being called a complaint, warrant, indictment

et-cetra addressed by the Relator in his many attempts made in
