STATE OF TEXAS § 75th DISTRICT COURT oF LIB~I Aoomw, Clerrk

APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS

Petitioner ERWIN EUGENE SEMIEN Comes before this Honorable

Court on this Pro Se' Motion WRIT OF MANDAMUS and ask this Court

to ORDER the Clerk of the Court of the 75th DistFict Court of

LIBERTY COUNTY, TEXAS (Donna Brown) to issue a. "Void Order"

voiding the Judgment in cause no. 22500 (Exhibit B). The Judgment

was obtained in VIOLATION OF THE 14th and 5th AMENDMENT and

I am "Actually Innocent" of this offense 569 U.S., 133 S Ct.,

185 L.Ed 2d. 1019 McQUIGGIN v. PERKING (2013). The Indictment

(Exhibit A) was PROCURED BY FRAUD and is not an "Official Court

Record'' (See Exhibit A). The Clerk of the Court Cannot and Will-

-not "Certify" this Indictment as a "TRUE AND CORRECT" Indictment • I Have never been Indicted by a Grand Jury On this Offense

And this "Sham Indictment" was used to start Unlawful Proceed-

-ings against Petitioner. This is the work of a "Rogue and Over- /

zealous" Police officer (now ex-officer) DEARL HARDY. His

malicious and unlawful actions RESULTED IN THE CONVICTION OF

AN INNOCENT MAN. All I am asking this Honorable Court to do

is to ORDER The Clerk Of The Court Of the 75th District Court

Of LIBERTY COUNTY, TEXAS To "Certify" the Indictment as a

1.) "TRUE AND CORRECT" Copy of a Indictment Or to "SHOW CAUSE" as

to why she cannot. And upon showing that no such Indictment ~----- --- ----- ------------ -~--- ----------------- -- --~------~--------- --------------------------------------- ever existed I ask this Honorable Court to "ORDER" the Clerk

to issue a VOID ORDER voiding the unlawfully obtained Judgment

in Cause No 22500 (Exhibit B). As the Judgment was Never Valid

to begin with and remains "forever invalid" as it was procured

by fraud (see) UNITED STATES V. WILLIAMS, 341 U.S. 58, 95 L.Ed

747, 71 S Ct. 595 (1951). I am still Suffering The "Collateral

Effects" of this Void Order as it has been used against me in

another court (see Exhibit C) Therefore the issue is Not Moot.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

Applicant Hopes and Prays that this Honorable Court GRANT

any and all relief that applicant request as it would be "In

The Intrest Of Justice" and in compliance with the Laws of this

State as well as the Laws Of The UNITED STATES.
