igation (See Attached Exhabit "C" )for order Designating Issues and

or's efforts, Respondent has wholly failed to comply with the Texas

bad faith, and also failed to afford Relator the Professional and Common
Courtesy of any written responses to his correspondence and requests.

Court decides there are no such iswsues, the Clerk shall immediately · · ·

being very heavily medicated and not in a right state of mind].
I am requesting an Evidentiary Hearing and the right to be present at Said

at Said Hearing so that I may consult with Said Attorney. Prison conditions
during Lockdowns restr-ict o [fenders from going to the Prison Law Library and

APPLICANT'S [PERSON.Z>.L li\FFI~VIT]
(
Comes Now Mark Wayne Cole, TDCJ-ID#l612025 who asked Mr. William Agnew
to remove himself from my Case in January of 2009. I fired him in writing
and he told me that I couldn't do that, and the Judge wouldn't allow me to
fire him either. My reas?n for firing him was that, he didn't investigate
the facts pertaining to my Case. Mr. Agnew said that there was no reason
to investigate any of my witnesses.and neither did he investigate the SBs
under the 8lst Legislature. Mr. Agnew'didn't investigate the facts concerninq
my actual innocence, nor did he investigate NGRI[Not Guilty By Reason of
Insanity], telling me that I couldn't make such a plea.
He only brought one plea bargin offer, and when I wouldn't agree, he
threatened me, coerced me and defrauded me by makinq an involuntary plea
b·E--fore tell inq me once again that I couldn't make a plea of NGRI. It was
during August/September throuqh November 2009 when I was heavily medicated
on Psych medication from North Texas State Hospital per Judge's orders! I
was in such a state that my mind was clouded from the heavy medication, and
I was. clearly unable to reason or conclude anything whatsoever. I didn't
understand anythinq that was happening during Said Trial, nor did. I understand
the ongoing from October of 2008 to November of 2009, to this present time, I
just don't know what happened!
