A) Relator's plea for jurisdiction involves the validity of the judgment pronou- nced upon his imposed duplicitious Count indictment or.the Prosecutor'(s) own- version of an unauthorization of a grand jury panel.Whicb judgment is void ab- initio1because the alleged defendant1John Zavala1was never legally before the- trial Court and it's presiding trial judge.In fact1the indictment is so fatally- defective that it deprived the trial Court of subject-matter jurisdiction-Had - defense Court appointed defense counsel(s) NOT elected too commit-breach of his- her/their fiduciary duty and legal obligations1he/she/they would have objected- ~nd complained about deceptive trade P~actice acts by the prosecutor(s) and that there was no actual returned True Bills of Indictment(s).These issues are well pleaded in Relator's memorandum of law1as well as supported with his exh~bi~~t­ ion of 42 items.Moreover 1Relator can never waive his United States Const~tutlon­ al rights guaranteed under the Fburteenth1and Fifth1Sixth1Eighth~Ninth Amendme- nts.Therefo~e1Relator has not·waive~ any absolute rights1and has reserved the - ese said rights even prior to his Coerced and induced plea of quilty1and will ~- 2.

B) In this instant cause of action,this.Court of criminal Appeals can hold that Relator has shown that he has no adequate remedy in law to compel the habeas - Court's judge or intruder,to issue ari Order and issue the writ of habeas c9rp- us to the right legal person holding Relator unlawfully against his will,and to issue an ORDER that all o;r _any amicus or illegal third party's briefing fil- ed in this Case at bar,b~ STRICKEN frdm the record.M~inly because ~0 authori- zation has been n ~ed for: permitting Third Party's illegal motions or brief- Response-as-an answer on the stationary of -A-"STATE in opposition and is - holding herself or their s~lves out as an attorney under Amicus Curiae,as if for Eddie D.Baker,and his business with the Texas Department of Criminal Just- ice.This intervener'(s) briefing is not iegal,and it should be beyond the sco- pe of. any reasonable interpretation of the role of amicus curiae and is nothing .

EX PARTE § IN THE 396th JUDICIAL § § DISTRICT COURT OF § JOHN ZAVALA § TARRANT COUNTY, TX

STATE'S RESPONSE TO APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, by and through its Tarrant County

Criminal District Attorney, and in opposition of the Application for Writ of Habeas

Corpus respectfully states the following to the Court based on its information and

belief:

I. HISTORY OF THE CASE

The applicant, JOHN ZAVALA ("Applicant"), pled guilty, pursuant to an

open plea, to the offenses of first degree felony arson and first degree felony burglary

of a habitation on June 7, 2005. See Judgment, No. 0943395D; Written Plea

Admonishments ("Admonishments"), No. 0943395D, p. 1. The court assessed

punishment at two concurrent terms of confinement for forty-five years in the Texa~

Department of Criminal Justice- Institutional Division. See Judgment.

1 .r'

The Seventh Court of Appeals affirmed Applicant's conviction on December

2, 2005. See Zavala v. State, No. 07-05-0250-CR, 2005 WL 3272364 (Tex. App.-

Amarillo, Dec. 2 2005, no pet.) (not designated for publication).

On January 10, 2006, Applicant's first and second applications for writ of

habeas corpus were dismissed as premature as Applicant's direct appeal was

pending. See Ex parte John Zavala, Nos. WR-63,888-01-02, Nos. C-396-007542-

0943395-A, C-396-007453-0943395-B (Tex. Crim. App. Jan. 10, 2006) (White

Card).

On August 30, 2006, Applicant's third application for writ of habeas corpus

was denied without written order on trial court's findings without a hearing. See Ex

parte John Zavala, No. WR-63,888-02, No. C-396-007765-0943395-C (Tex. Crim.

App. Aug. 30, 2006) (White Card).

IT. APPLICANT'S ALLEGATIONS

Applicant alleges his confinement is illegal because (1) the trial court lacked

subject-matter jurisdiction. See Application, p. 6-7.

lli. NECESSITY FOR AN EVIDENTIARY HEARING & EXPANSION OF THE RECORD

There is no need for an expansion of the record. The State submits that the

record before the trial court is sufficient to resolve Applicant's grounds for relief.

Applicant need NOT be brought back to Tarrant County for a hearing.

2 •'

IV. ARGUMENT AND AUTHORITIES

A. Applicable Writ Law

In a habeas corpus proceeding, the burden of proof is on the applicant. Ex

parte Rains, 555 S.W.2d 478, 481 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977). An applicant "must

prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the error contributed to his conviction

or punishment." Ex parte Williams, 65 S.W.3d 656, 658 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). In

order to prevail, the applicant must present facts that, if true, would entitle him to the

relief requested. Ex parte Maldonado, 688 S.W.2d 114, 114 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985).

Relief may be denied if the applicant states only conclusions, and not specific facts.

Ex parte McPherson, 32 S.W.3d 860, 861 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). In addition, an

applicant's sworn allegations alone are not sufficient to prove his claims. Ex parte

Empey, 757 S.W.2d 771,775 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988).

B. Applicant's application should be DISMISSED because the application fails to allege sufficient specific facts to overcome the subsequent writ bar.

Applicant argues he can file this subsequent application because he did not

discover the issues until he received the trial transcripts. See Application, p. 3.

However, that is not a permissible exception. The Code of Criminal Procedure

provides that:

(a) If a subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus is filed after fmal disposition of an initial application challenging the same conviction, a court may not consider the merits of or grant relief based

3 _,

on the subsequent application unless the application contains sufficient specific facts establishing that:

(1) the current claims and issues have not been and could not have been presented previously in an original application or in a previously considered application filed under this article because the factual or legal basis for the claim was unavailable on the date the applicant filed the previous application; or

(2) by a preponderance of the evidence, but for a violation of the United States Constitution no rational juror could have found the applicant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

(b) For purposes of Subsection (a)(l), a legal basis of a claim is unavailable on or before a date described by Subsection (a)(1) if the legal basis was not recognized by and could not have been reasonably formulated from a final decision of the United States Supreme Court, a court of appeals of the United States, or a court of appellate jurisdiction of this state on or before that date.

(c) For purposes of Subsection (a)(l), a factual basis of a claim is unavailable on or before a date described by Subsection (a)(1) if the factual basis was not ascertainable through the exercise of reasonable diligence on or before that date.

Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 §4.

The purpose of this statute is to limit a convicted person to "one bite at the

apple". Ex parte Whiteside, 12 S.W.3d 819, 821 (Tex. Crim. App .. 2000). This

statutory provision also bars the litigation of claims which could have been

formulated at the time of the original application for writ of habeas corpus. See Ex

Fontenot, 3 S.W.3d 32, 34 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999).

Because Applicant's claims are based on the trial record, the factual basis for

his claim was available on or before the date he filed his first application. Likewise,

4 ··'

Applicant's claims are based on well-founded legal principles which existed at the

time he filed his first application. See Application; Memorandum. Finally,

Applicant presents no evidence that he is actually innocent. See Application;

Memorandum. In order to prevail on the exception that no rational juror would have

found him guilty, an applicant must make a prima facie showing that he is actually

innocent. Ex parte Brooks, 219 S.W.3d 396, 401 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007).

Therefore, Applicant has failed to present sufficient specific facts to overcome the

subsequent writ bar. Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 §4.

Thus, this application should be DISMISSED AS A SUBSEQUENT.

APPLICATION.

5 V. CONCLUSION

Wherefore, premises considered, the State prays that this Court recommend

that Applicant's application be DISMISSED AS A SUBSEQUENT
