1 APPELLANT'S OBJECTION

1. I Joseph E. McClain, III appellant, in objection: Under the Texas

constitution Art. 1 Sec. 28Sec. 28. SUSPENSION OF LAWS. No power of suspending laws in this State shall be exercised except by the Legislature.

2. Wherein Under the Texas Constitution Art. 1 Sec. 27. RIGHT OF ASSEMBLY; PETITION FOR REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES. The citizens shall have the right, in a peaceable manner, to assemble together for their common good; and apply to those invested with the powers of government for redress of grievances or other purposes, by petition, address or remonstrance. 3. It is by the same Texas Constitution Art. 1 Sec. 8 which the defendants had threatened harm and conspired against the rights of the appellant where under, Sec. 8. FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PRESS; LIBEL. Every person shall be at liberty to speak, write or publish his opinions on any subject, being responsible for the abuse of that privilege; and no law shall ever be passed curtailing the liberty of speech or of the press. In prosecutions for the publication of papers, investigating the conduct of officers, or men in public capacity, or when the matter published is proper for public information, the truth thereof may be given in evidence. And in all indictments for libels, the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the facts, under the direction of the court, as in other cases.

4. That this motion if it is allowed for which makes notice of the defendants of the Courts awareness of their trespasses by which they sought and have violated TEXAS DISCIPLINARY RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT 3.01 Meritorious Claims and Contentions A lawyer shall not bring or defend a proceeding, or assert or controvert an issue therein, unless the lawyer reasonably believes that there is a basis for doing so that is not frivolous.

5. Whereby it is a violation under T.D.R.O.P.C. Rule 3.03 Candor Toward the Tribunal (a) A lawyer shall not knowingly: (1) make a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal; (2) fail to disclose a fact to a tribunal when disclosure is necessary to avoid assisting a criminal or fraudulent act; (3) in an ex parte proceeding, fail to disclose to the tribunal an unprivileged fact which the lawyer reasonably believes should be known by that entity for it to make an informed decision; (4) fail to disclose to the tribunal authority in the

2 controlling jurisdiction known to the lawyer to be directly adverse to the position of the client and not disclosed by opposing counsel; or (5) offer or use evidence that the lawyer knows to be false.

6. Where they have mislead an argument from a hearing on this trial cause where the trial court on December 23, 2015 The Honorable judge Orlinda Naranjo of the 419th Judicial District of Travis county, Texas had dismissed a hearing for a ‘Contesting of the Constitutionality of a Statute/Motion to Stay a judgment’ based on allegedly not having a copy of notice of service on file under this trial cause D-1-GN-1400-5063. The defendants had been served again a third time this time by constable after failing to answer and failing to appear, under T.R.C.P.RULE 237. APPEARANCE DAY If a defendant, who has been duly cited, is by the citation required to answer on a day which is in term time, such day is appearance day as to him. If he is so required to answer on a day in vacation, he shall plead or answer accordingly, and the first day of the next term is appearance day as to him. RULE 240. WHERE ONLY SOME ANSWER Where there are several defendants, some of whom have answered or have not been duly served and some of whom have been duly served and have made default, an interlocutory judgment by default may be entered The defendant against those who have made default, and the cause may proceed or be postponed as to the others. Dell did answer and along with filing a fraudulent claim alleging grounds for sanctions and claiming the appellant was a vexatious litigant having filed and served notice of hearing presented in a hearing in Court on February 03, 2015 The Honorable Judge Byrnes of the 126th Judicial Court of Travis County Texas did preside where the appellant did motion to hold the defendant’s petition as evidence for future reference as it was for a fraudulent claim. Under grounds for which,

7. T.R.C.P. 166(a)(h) Affidavits Made in Bad Faith. Should it appear to the satisfaction of the court at any time that any of the affidavits presented pursuant to this rule are presented in bad faith or solely for the purpose of delay, the court shall forthwith order the party employing them to pay to the other party the amount of the reasonable expenses which the filing of the affidavits caused him to incur, including reasonable attorney's fees, and any offending party or attorney may be adjudged guilty of contempt.

8. Supported by T.R.C.P. RULE 314. CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT Any person against whom a cause of action exists may, without process, appear in person or by attorney, and confess judgment therefor in open court as follows: (a) A petition shall be filed and the justness of the debt or cause of action be sworn to by the person in whose favor the judgment is confessed. (b) If the judgment is confessed by attorney, the power of attorney shall be filed and its contents be recited in the judgment. (c) Every such judgment duly made shall operate as a release of all errors in the record thereof, but such judgment may be impeached for fraud or other equitable cause.

9. It is on record the trial court in it’s discretion with the plaintiff’s motions & objections in mind made its decision for which T.R.C.P.C. 11.054 CRITERIA FOR FINDING PLAINTIFF A VEXATIOUS LITIGANT A court may find a plaintiff a vexatious litigant if the defendant shows that there is not a reasonable probability that the plaintiff will prevail in the litigation against the defendant and that: where in whole the defendant’s evidence failed to comprise grounds for

3 ‘Vexatious litigation.’ The Texas Rules of Evidence 404(a) ‘Character Evidence’ Evidence of a person’s character or character trait is not admissible for the purpose of proving action in conformity therewith on a particular occasion, except: (A) by an accused in a criminal case, or by the prosecution to rebut the same, or(b) Other crimes, wrongs, or acts. Evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. the defendant’s testimony relates not to a crime committed but to an alleged crime not admissible because it is an aspect of the presumption of innocence that a defendant be tried for what he did not for who he is, (United States v. Foskey-636 f.2d, 517, 523 (Dec. 1980)

10. Whereby the appellant Joseph E.
