Hon. Abel Acosta/Clerk, of the Court of Criminal Appeals. Presented herein is a MOTION FOR LEAVE, with a WRIT OF MANDAMUS, that concern the extreme delay of my Habeas Corpus that was filed on September 10, 2012. Relator/Applicant, will show this Honor~

able Court the requirements and necessity to be granted Mandamus relief. Relator, however, is incarcerated and Pro se, and begs this court to construe his mandamus format liberally not holding him to the standards of lawyers. Relator has tried his best to follow form and procedure. LACK OF COMPLIANCE ON MANDAMUS Petition was sufficient despite lack of complete compliance with rules governing form. See In re Taylor, 28 S.W.3d 240.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED

I

STATEMENT OF FAC'I'£: On September 10, 2012, Applicant filed a writ of habeas cor- pus pursuant to Art. 11.07 of the TCCP., for post-conviction re- lief. An ORDER DESIGNATING ISSUES(ODI), was signed on September 27, 2012. The ODI failed to order trial counsel to address the claims in Applicant's 11.07, and has since been stagnant in the habeas court. II APPLICANT'S PURSUIT OF HABEAS RIGHT First, Applicant has been extremely patient with the court to review and process his habeas 11.07, knowing full well of the court being inundated with cases and habeas writs. However, it has been over two years since the ODI, and no action has been ta- ken on this 11.07. Applicant has tried an "Informal Resolution"

(Exhibit A-1), that was sent to the trial court on August 17, 2014. After hearing no response, Applicant then proceeded with a

cc 1 :...... ,_) ...

"MOTION TO COMPEL" (Exhibit A-2), sent to the court on October 5,

2014, receiving no response or action from the court.

III INEFFECTUAL PROCESS OF HABEAS CORPUS

Applicant has been diligently patient in the hopes of process-

ing and proceeding his ha.beas corpus 11.07. However, 2 years in

holding Applicant's 11.07 with no action being taken is well be- yond a violation of AppJicant's Due process rights under habeas

corpus.

Applicant has tried informal(Exhibit A-1), and formal resolu-

tions(Exhibit A-2), to try and reslove this issue. Applicant has

also requested for help from the Assistant District Attorney(ADA),

(Exhibit A-3 & A-4), who recommended the ODI to the court, with

no assistance coming from the ADA.

Applicant has claimed "Actual Innocence," and yet the habeas

court refuses to act. Applicant's only recourse is help from this

honorable court, and its duty to enforce the laws of the Texas

Constitution, Art. 11.07 of the TCCP., and the Due process rights

of Applicant under the United States Constitution(Please see Man-

damus for State & Federal law on Habeas Corpus).

P R A Y K.R·:'.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Applicant prays this Honorable

Court will grant·the MOTION FOR MANDAMUS, and ORDER the habeas

court to proceed with Applicant's 11.07 within 90 days of re-

ceipt of the Mandamus. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
