Judge 01dner had found four (h) points of error, con- troverted previously unresolved issues that could in fact overturn my wrongful conviction. I don't know why the Court forwarded my 11.07 Applications to your EUurt without first finding the FAETS the Judge had already noted as unresolved. Therefore, l am sending you a MOT10N and Suggestion‘s for the Honorahle justices's of the Bourttof Criminal Appeals to remand the writ's (11.07'3) BACK to Collin Eounty and the h16th Court and to hold my Application's of Habeas Eorpus 11.07'3 in ABEVANEE until the previously indicated unresolved issues can be re- solved. ~,¢.. , ._.- ~- , .. y Please FILE These papers with the EUURT, and bring them to the IMMEDIATE attention of the Honorahle Judges as this is a TIME SENSITIVE IBSUE. ps Could you PLEABE send me a SlncerElY yours’ copy of this letter l am sending - you with a File Stamp for my records? l am inclosing a copy Peter J Ellington, 019234 for you to return to me.

Eopy was sent to the State (Eollin County DA). l was not able to send the MOT10N and attached Eround.Four because I was unable to get any post- 'age Stamps until May 21st when I mailed it ( and filed it per mailbox rule).

The First Motion was the Notice of Appeal and Request for Extension of Time to File the 0rdered Affidavits. See EXHIEIT"S 2a-e. (k) 0n August 7th, 2015 the CUURT cf ERIMINAL APPEALS had now '_2_ received my two (2) Application's for writ of Habeas Eorpus (11.07) from the Trial Eourt without the Trial Eourt's findings of their own admitted previously controverted (four issues) facts that l had reaise in my Application. By`the Judge's own DRDER he had given all parties to the 20th day of August to submit the Affidavits and" actually in the interest of Justice and Fairness should have appro- ved the MOT10N for EXTENSION of TIME and reset the deadline until the 20th of Septembery 2015, because of the ERROR in NOTIFYINE me 30 days late. Il. The Trial Court has not responded to any Request's or Motions l have filed as a Pro Se Applicant who is indigent, has lost all con- tact with my family and my firends since being wrongfully convicted for a crime that never happened and of which l AM lNNUCENT UF- The Eourt 01D NOT acknowledge my "GRUUND FO0R" Prosecutorial Misconduct" pages 12 & 13, and neither did the State in their Response to my 11.07 Application's. n . My Reply to the State's response seems to have fallen on deaf ears, and more importantly;-the District Court has now forwarded my two writ Application's to the EEA without making the indicated as per 0RDER, the resolution of the indicated unresolved controverted issues of fact. n PRAVER 1 PRAY that tnia Moat Reaoootad coort, the Honoraolo Judgaa for the E.E.A. will APPRUVE this MOT10N & SUEGESTlUN_to REMAND this ~back to the Trial Court for the resolution of the previously controa verted issues and extend the time until at least the 28th of 5epti 2015 to submit affidavits, if l can even do that by that date. l would _5_ pray that you would see how important an evidentary hearing is in this particular case, and ensure in the intrest of justice and fair- ness that I be granted an Evidentiary Hearing in Person, to CRDSS examine my Attorney‘s (all three) of Record with out the ASSISTANCE of the District Attorney, and with Appointment of Eompetent Counsel to assist in this matter. NOTE: l never had a TRIAL, l was coerced into pleading guilty to get a 5 year deffered probation, and l did not want to do even that. l paid my lawyer for a JURY-TRIAL, and she refuesd to do that. l am in prison for life without parole basically for a crime that NEVER TO0K PLAEE.
