Trail Court No.'s 0416-02711-09-(H01 and HEZ) Dear Mr. Acosta, Early this morning (00:20 A.M.) l picked up from the prison legal mail room two "white‘Eard" notices informing me that the Eourt of Criminal Bppeals had re- ceived my two (2) 11.07 writ Application's from the 416th District Eourt on Aug. 7th, 2015. l believe this was an error on the 416th District Court's part. I received on July 2Ath, 2015 a Memorandum and URDER from Judge Ehris Uldner of the 416th District Court, telling me he was ordering affidavits to be filed by August 20th (he had allowed 60 days, but my envelope was NOT mailed from the Eourthouse until July 21st and l received it on July 24th, a full month after it was signed by the Judge.). 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 Eourt without first finding the FACTS the Judge had already noted as unresolved. Therefore, I am sending you a MOT10N and Suggestion's for the Honorable Justices's of the Eourttof Eriminal Appeals to remand the mrit's (11.07'5) BACK to Eollin Eounty and the 416th Eourt and to hold my Application's of Haheas Eorpus 11.07'3 in ABEYANCE until the previously indicated unresolved issues can be re- solved. Please FILE These papers with the EUURT, and bring them to the IMMEDIATE attention of the Honorable Judges as this is a TIME SENSITIVE ISSUE.
