ON August 6, 2014 the County Court denied Defendant's WRIT OF El:ZRO,R CORAM NOBIS; OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE MOTION TO WITHDRAW GUILTY PLEA(cause no. 3627.06, see attached order). In November of 2014 Defendant submitted a WRIT OF ERROR CORAM NOBIS; OR IN . THE ALTERNATIVE MOTION TO VACATE ORDER OF DEFERRED ADJUDICATION COMMUNITY SUPERVISION in the 51st District Court and County Coury of Sterling, Texas(cause· ·no ..

On December 11, 2014 the 51st District Court issued an order denying Defendant's petition for WRIT OF ERROR CORAM NOBIS; OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE MOTION TO WITHDRAW GUILTY PLEA •. One week later DHendant ,.? ..... filed a motion to the 51st District Court requesting that the court clarify the order and explain if the District Court was denying Defendant 1 s first WRIT OF ERROR CORAM NOBIS; OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE MOTION TO WITHDRAW GUILTY PLEA, as the order indicates only or :j:f the court construed Defendant 1 s second WRIT OF ERROR CORAM NOBIS; OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE; MOTION TO VACATE ORDER OF DEFERRED ADJUDICATION COMMUNITY SUPERVISION :· :; ' - as supplement to the first WRIT OF ERROR CORAM NOBIS and was denying them both. Defendant also contacted the County Court requesting that the court issue a ruling on the WRIT OF ERROR CORAM NOBIS; OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE MOTION TO VACATE ORDER OF DEFERRED ADJUDICATION . COMMUNITY SUPERVISION. Defendant also explained to both courts that he had pending litigation in federal court(Western District of Texas-Midland/Odessa Division) that is relative to the outcome of the District and Cbunty courts ruling--Defendarit was granted n a stay by the federal court for this very reason. In January 2015, the 51st District Court again issued the exact . same order without any clarification.

VINCENT FLORES § STERLING COUNTY, TEXAS ORDEH REGARDING PETITION FOR WRIT OF ERROR CORAM NOBIS On this the ,; th day ofc;~L--4-. I 201the Court having examined and considered the Petition for Writ of Error Coram Nbbis filed by Vi~cent Flores finds the pleading to be ' without merit and the relief sought is hereby denied. ..··::· ,; CAUSE NO. 3627,06 THE STATE OF TEXAS § IN THE COUNTY COURT § vs. § OF. § VINCENT FLORES § STERLING COUNTY, TEXAS VERIFIED PETITION FOR WRIT OF ERROR CORAM NOBIS; OR, IN THE ALTERNATIVE; MOTION TO VACATE ORDER OF DEFERRED ADJUDICATION COMMUNITY SUPERVISION TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: COMES NOW,· VINCENT FLORES, the Defendant/Probationer in the abov-e styled Cause (hereinafter "Flores"), and pursuant to this Court's inherent power, authority, and interest in· preventing injustice, hereby files ·this i Verified Petition for Writ of Error Coram Nobis; or, in the ·alternative; Motion to Vacate Order of Deferred Adjudication Community Supervision, and in support thereof, Flores would respectfulli show the Court as follows: I. On October 6, 2006, at approximately 7:30pm, a Sterling County Police Officer conducted a warrantless seizure and search of Flores's person, ·as well as a warrantless search of Flores's vehicle (as more fully detailed at Part VI of this motion, infra). Flores asserts that no legitimate basis . . . existed which warranted the Officer's aforementioned actions (no degree· o'f· "reasonable. suspicion" -or- "probable cause" -or- "consent" -or-:- "concern for officer safety" existed which justified the searches conducted). II. As a result of the above referenced warrantless and unconsented search of Flores's vehicle, the searching Officer found a personal use quantity of Marijuana, and a personal use quantity of cocaine in Flores's vehicle. Upon discovery of the aforementioned Marijuana and cocaine, Flores was arrested by the searching Officer and charged as follows: ·?r·· (Page 1 of 10) ·. (A) For the Marijuana, Flores was charged--by Information issued in The County Court of Sterling County, Texas, CAUSE NO. 362706 (herein after "this Cause")--with a Class "B" Misdemeanor in violation of Texas Health and Safety Code §481.12l(b)(l); and, (B) For the cocaine, Flores was ·charged~-by Indictment issued in The District Court, 51st Judicial District of Sterling County, Texas, CAUSE NO. 746st--with a "Third Degree" Felony in violation of Texas Health and Safety Code §481.115(c)". III. On July 25, 2007, Flores agreed to plead guii ty to the marijuana offense charged in this Cause. In exchange for that plea Flores agreed to accept the imposition of a twelve (12) month term· of Deferred Adjudication Community Supervision (hereinafter "Supervision"). IV. On January 30, 2008, this Court--upon motion by Flares--granted Flores a reduction in, and early termination from, the aforementioned twelve (12) month term of Supervision. v. Flores now asserts that his guilty plea to the marijuana offense charged in this Cause was not knowingly, intelligently, or voluntarily entered, and that: (1) This Court's Order imposing the twelve (12) month term of Supervision; (2) This Court's "findings of guilt" in this Cause; and, (3) Any and all forms Flores signed (which purported to "waive" certain rights of Flores's); are all constitutionally invalid because: (A) Flores was never forewarned--either by this Court, the State Attorney's Office, or Defense Counsel Fred Brigman (hereinafter Brigmap")--of the completely unexpected collateral (Page 2 of 10) consequences he would suffer in subsequent prosecutions as a result of , his guilty plea--and this Court's findings of guilt--in this Cause; (B) Flores's reasonable understandings and reasonable expectations-- regarding the effects and consequences of hi~ aforementioned guilty plea--and/or this Court's findings of guilt--would have in subsequent criminal proceedings have been violated; and, (C) Mr. Brigman. never informed Flores that a legitimate and viable basis existed for Flores to move to suppress the drug evidence involved in this Cause, and that suppression of the drug evidence would lead to dismissal of the , aforementioned charges against Flores in this Cause. VI. -'Flores asserts that because his guilty plea in this Cause (for the reasons set forth herein) was not knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered, then this Court's findings of guilt--along w:!-th the imposition of the aforementioned twelve (12) month term of Supervision--are constitutionally void, and the Order imposing said term of Supervision must therefore be vacated based upon the following facts, to wit: (1) Moments prior to Flores's arrest on October 6, 2006 (at approximately 7:30pm), the arresting officer approached Flores--who was standing near the edge of a small lake located 40 yards behind the "Town and Country" convenience store in Sterling City, Texas, in an area then open to the public--and started questioning Flores about what he was doing. (2) In response to the arresting officer's questions Flores stated he was waiting for his Cousin who was then in the Town and Country convenience store. The arresting officer then instructed Flores to walk to the front of ·the convenience store. •f,', (Page 3 of 10) 1 (3) At the front of the convenience store the arresting officer asked Flores whether any of the vehicles in the stores parking lot' were his. Flores answered "yes" and then pointed out his car, a Ford Contour. (4) The arresting officer told Flores "I'm going to put you in handcuffs because I want to search your car." Flores asked "why" and the arresting officer responded "because we've had some complaints about "vandalism." (5) ,After pat frisking and handcuffing Flores (possibly for officer safety) the arresting officer proceeded to search Flores's vehicle, whereafter the drugs--specifically the marijuana ~hich supports the offense charged in this Cause--was discovered, .. and resulted in Flores' arrest and subsequent prosecution in this Cause. (6) At no time ·during the above described interactions between Flores and the arresting officer, did Flores do anything that would have warranted the offi~er handcuffing Flores or searching Flores's car. Flores never gave the. officer consent to search his car, nor did the arresting officer--at any time--have lawful justification (meaning reasonable suspicion, probable cause, consent, concern for officer safety, etc.) to conduct a warrantless search of Flores's p~rson or of Flores's car. (7) Had l'1r. Brigman told Flores that the arresting officer's above described conduct justified suppression of the drug evidence ·found in Flores's car, Flores would never have agreed to plead guilty in exchange for the aforementioned twelve (12) months of Supervision, Flores would instead have insisted that: (A) l'1r. Brigman file a motion to suppress the drug evidence--on .the basis that the arresting officer lacked. any reasonable suspicion, probable cause, consent, or concern for officer safety--that otherwise may have justified the Officer searching Flores's person and car (all in violation of Flores's Fourth Amendment right to be free from unl~wful searches and seizures). And, ·~,- (Page 4 of 10) I (B) Flores would have insisted on. going to trial rather than entering what Mr. Brigman called a "plea of convenience" in this Cause. .~ (8) In addition to the above described Fourth Amendment violations--which Mr. Brigman never informed Flores could result in suppression of the drug evidence and dismissal of the Indictment in this Cause--Mr. Brigman also misadvised Flores about the effects his guilty plea, and the effects this Court's findings of guilt, would have on Flores in future criminal proceedings. (9) Flores asserts that Mr. Brigman's affirmative misadvise (as described below) invalidates the knowing, intelligent, and voluntary nature of Flores's guilty plea in this Cause, as well as invalidates this Court's findings of guilt, the Order imposing the twelve (12) month term of Supervision, and all "waiver of rights" forms Flores signed in this Cause-~because Mr. Brigman expressly informed Flores that: (A) If Flores entered a "plea of convenience" guilty plea to the drug offense charged in this Cause (in exchange for the twelve (12) month term of Supervision); and, (B) If Flores "stayed out of tro.uble" while on Supervision,· Mr. Brigman assured Flores that he (Mr. Brigman) absolutely would: (i) File for early termination of Flores's Supervision; (ii) Ask this Court to allow Flore's to withdraw his guilty plea; and, . . (iii) If this Court granted Mr. Brigman's request that Flores be permitted to withdraw his ·guilty plea, Flores would have no conviction in this Cause that could be used against him :i.n future criminal proceedings . . (10) Mr. Brigman further explicitly informed Flores that i f this Court were to grant Flores the aforementioned early termination and withdiawal of -~·· (Page 5 of 10) .; his guilty plea, Flores's criminal record in this Cause would be "wiped clean" and Flores would suffer no collateral consequences as a result of him pleading guilty in this Cause. VII. Flores asserts that Hr. Brigman's above described express representations, as well as·Mr. Brigman's complete failure to advise Flores regarding the existence of a viable basis to move for suppression of the drug evidence and dismissal of the charges in this Cause, are the sole reasons wqy Flores chose to plead guilty, rather . than insisting that Nr. Brigman move to suppress the drug evidence, move to dismiss the charges, and proceed to trial· in this Cause. Flores further asserts that had Hr. Brigman not advised Flores I that if this Court were to allow Flores to withdraw his guilty plea--thereby "wiping away" Flores,' s. criminal record in a manner that would not effect him .in future. criminal proceedings--Flares wouid not have entered a "plea of convenience" guilty plea, he instead would have insisted on going to trial on the drug offense charged in this Cause. VIII. Flores asserts that as a result of .Hr. Brigman's above described express representations--and material omissions--Flares developed certain reasonable understandings and resonable expectations, namely: (1) Flores reasonably understood and reasonably expected that: (A) Mr. Brigman was at all times representing Flores to the best of his abilities, and in Flores's best interests; (B) Should this Court allow Flores to withdraw his guilty plea in this . Cause, Flores's criminal record would be "wiped clean"; and; (C) If Flores's record was "wiped clean"--by withdrawal of his guilty plea in this Cause--then he would not have any "conviction" that could be used against him in any future criminal. proceeding. (Page 6 of 10) · .... IX. -: Flores asserts that his "reasonable understandings" and "reasonable : expectations" (as previously described) were violated when: (1) After pleading guilty to Count One of a multi-count, multi-defendant federal Indictment--issued in the U.S. Distr~ct Court for the Western District of Texas (Midland-Odessa Division), Criminal Case No. M0-12-CR- 00011 (hereinafter "federal case")--Flores 1 s guilty plea--and/or this Court 1 s findings of guilt--in this Cause was used to increase his Criminal History Score from "Category I'' Criminal History, up to "Category II" Criminal history. The effect of his guilty plea:--and/or 1 this Court s findings of guilt--in this Cause, resulted in Flores's otherwise applicable sentencing guideline range' of 168-210 months being increased to 188-235 months (a Category I Criminal History--combined. with Flores's offense level of 35--would result in a guideline sentencing range, of .. 16_8-210 months; while a Category II Criminal History-~combined with Flores's ·offense level of 35--resulted in a guideline sentencing range of 188-235 months. Because Flores received a "low end" sentence of 188 months rather than a "low end" sentence of 168 months, Flores was prejudiced by receiving an extra 20 months as a result of his guilty plea--and/or this Court's findings of guilt in this / Cause. See attached Exhibits A and B)). X. Flores asserts that the federal government's reliance upon his guilty plea--and/or this-Court's findings of guilt--in this Cause, as a "sentence"-- for purposes of increasing his Criminal History score from Category I up to Category IT--violated Flores 1 s above described "reasonable understandings" and "reasonable expectations" regarding the impact his . guilty plea--and/or this Court's findings of guilt--in this Cause would have in future criminal proceedings. Because Flores 1 s rec-eived a "low end" sentence of 188 months in his federal case, rather than receiving a "low end" sentence of 168 months, Flores was prejudiced by receiving an extra 20 months as a result of his guilty plea--and/or this Court's findings of guilt--in this Cause. XI. Flores requests that this;, Court find that his guilty plea--as well as this ,.-"·· (Page 7 of 10) Court's findings of guilt--in this Cause was "void ab initio," due to the extent of "collatera1 consequences" which Flores was never advised--either by this Court, the State Attorney's Office, or Mr. Brigman--he would be subjected ·to in future criminal proceedings, and because of the unknowing, unintelligent, and involuntary guilty plea Flores entered in this Cause--as a result of Mr. Brigman's ineffectiveness, misadvise, and withholding of relevant information (information that wouldhave changed the outcome of this Cause, as well as changed the outcome of Flores's federal case). LEGAL ARGUMENT XII. The Texas courts have routinely found that when a defendant is not adequately apprised of the consequences of his guilty plea, _or that he was not fully informed (or. otherwise mislead) by defense. counsel or the Court, . the defendant 1 s plea _is constitutionally invalid. See Anderson v. State, 182 S.W. 3d 91LI (Tex. Grim. App. 2006). This is in keeping with the general principle that a defendant must be fully informed of the consequences attendant from his. guilty plea. XIII. The writ ·of error coram nobis is an extraordinary remedy available tu a petitioner no longer in custody who seeks to vacate his criminal conviction on constitutional grounds. See United States v. Hatten, 167 F. 3d 884, 887 n. 6 (5th Cir 1999). Where a defendant is no longer in custody on the conviction under attack, coram nobis is the appropriate vehicle under which to challenge the validity of the conviction if the defendant 1 s guilty plea--and/ or the Court's findings of guilt--were premised upon misinformation (or the withholding of material information), and for claims regarding ineffective assistance of counsel relati~e to the validity of the gtiilt~ plea--and/or the Court's findings of guilt. See Campos-Conrrada v. Thaler, No.· 3:12-CV-4190, 2012 U.S~ Dist. Lexis 166457 (N.D. Tex. Oct. 23, 2012). (Page 8 .of 10) WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, and in light of the foregoing facts and legal arguments, Flores prays that this Court will enter an orde.r vacating the July 25, 2007, Order which imposed Flores's twelve (12) month term of Deferred Adjudication Community Supervision, and that this Court will grant Flores any other relief to which .he is justly entitled.

Diversion from the judicial process without a finding of guilt (~, deferred prosecution) is not counted. A diversionary disposition resulting from a fmding or admission of guilt; or a plea of nolo contendere, in a judicial proceeding is counted as a sentence under §4Al.l(c) even if a conviction is not formally entered, except that diversion from juvenile court is not counted.
