Chase Carmen Hunter v. Texas Department of Insurance and David Mattax, in His Official Capacity as Commissioner of Insurance

ACCEPTED 03-14-00737-CV 7609762 THIRD COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 10/29/2015 11:49:45 PM JEFFREY D. KYLE CLERK No. 03-14-00737-cv _____________________________________ FILED IN IN THE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS 3rd COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS AUSTIN, TEXAS 10/29/2015 11:49:45 PM _____________________________________ JEFFREY D. KYLE Clerk CHASE CARMEN HUNTER, APPELLANT/PLAINTIFF v. DAVID MATTAX IN HIS OFFICIAL CAPACITY AS COMMISSIONER OF INSURANCE, AND THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE, APPELLEES/DEFENDANTS APPELLANT’S OPPOSITION TO “APPELLEES’ RESPONSE TO APPELLANT’S EMERGENCY MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION OF THE RECORD” From Cause D-1-GN-13001957 In The 250th District Travis County, Texas, The Honorable John K. Dietz Presiding Chase Carmen Hunter, pro se 340 S. Lemon Ave. #9039 Walnut, CA 91789 Telephone: 707-706-3647 Facsimile: 703-997-5999 Chase_Hunter@yahoo.com TO: THE JUSTICES OF THIS COURT On October 27, 2015, Appellees filed their APPELLEES’ RESPONSE TO APPELLANT’S EMERGENCY MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION OF THE RECORD (“Appllee Resp”). And it contains false statements that the Appellees know are false. On page 2 of Appllee Resp, the Appellees state that a dismissal order appears on the “Clerk’s Record at CR224-32”, and the Appellees refer this court to their “Exhibit A” of Appellees’ Brief. Presumably, the Appellees are referring to “Appendix A” of Appellees’ Brief and not “Exhibit A”. This document shown in Appellees’ Appendix A is not found in the record in the underlying cause in the Travis County Texas District Court (“TCTDC”). Hunter knows this because, on October 14, 2015, she personally viewed every document shown for the underlying cause at https://courts.co.travis.tx.us/CCO/ which TCTDC calls “Civil Courts Online” or “CCO”. Hunter, who is indigent, was denied free access to the underlying record until a new free technology was made available that allowed Hunter free access to the underlying record on October 14, 2015. This is significant because a TCTDC judge has only the TCTDC Clerk’s record to rely upon when making decisions. Hunter has only the TCTDC Clerk’s record to rely upon when making decisions. And obviously, there is nothing on the document shown in Appellees’ Appendix A that indicates that this document exists in the record in the underlying cause. Maybe this document exists in a filing cabinet somewhere. But that document, if it is genuine, does not exist in the underlying record and can not be relied upon for the purposes of this appeal except to show that the TCTDC Clerk produced a document that did not exist in the underlying record. The fact is that Hunter has been denied access to the appellate record. There is absolutely no reason why Hunter should be denied access to the appellate record that the TCTDC Clerk provided for the purpose of this appeal. Any expressed confusion on the part of the Appellees regarding the relief Hunter is requesting is undoubtedly feigned because Hunter’s Emergency Motion For Clarification of the Record clearly states only that Hunter has been repeatedly denied access to the record and that she has a Due Process right to access the appellate record so that she can determine whether or not she agrees with the appellate record. Hunter can make no requests for designation of the record if she has been denied access to the record. WHEREFORE, Hunter simply requests, that at a minimum, she be given a copy of the appellate record. There is no reason for the Appellees to oppose Hunter’s simple request to view/receive a copy of the record upon which this court will make its decision. The record on appeal can be faxed to Hunter or emailed to Hunter. There is no valid reason to deny Hunter a copy of the appellate record. Any argument on the part of the Appellees that Hunter should not be given a copy of the appellate record is an explicit effort to conspire to deny Hunter is Due Process rights.
