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 CERTIFICATION. I, Chase Carmen Hunter, state under penalty of perjury that the following facts and argument are true and correct. March 10, 2015 OBJECTION TO THE CLERK’S LETTERS DATED MARCH 2, 2015, MARCH 4, 2015, FEBRUARY 13, 2015, AND JANUARY 16, 2015, The Appellant, herein referred to as “Hunter”, filed a motion for a 60-day filing extension with this court on March 1, 2015. The clerk of this court (“Clerk”) responded to said motion by sending Hunter a letter on March 2, 2015, stating that said motion was denied in part by this court. Hunter objects to her motion being -2- dispensed with by a letter from the Clerk (“Clerk Letter”) and not by a court order. Hunter filed a motion for a 60-day filing extension with this court on March 3, 2015. The clerk of this court (“Clerk”) responded to said motion by sending Hunter a letter on March 4, 2015, stating that said motion was denied by this court. Hunter objects to her motion being dispensed with by a Clerk Letter and not by a court order. Hunter objects to the Clerk dispensing with Hunter’s two aforementioned motions in violation of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure (“TRAP”) 10.3(a) et seq. These two motions were not to be heard or determined “until 10 days after the motion was filed”. Hunter objects to the Clerk’s Letters dated February 13, 2015, and January 16, 2015, because, among other things, they state that the “Court” made a decision but these Clerk Letters do not show a name of any justice who made the decisions and do not include the word “order”. They are not court orders. -3- This Court entered an order on January 21, 2015 (“Jan 2015 Order”). Please, take judicial notice. This Jan 2015 Order appears on its face to be a valid, genuine court order because, among other things, it states that it is an “order” and it names the “justices” who participated in the court decision. However, none of the aforementioned Clerk Letters have these two features. Therefore, the Clerk’s letters, while they state that this court made a decision, are not court orders and cannot be communications of the court and have no legal affect. These Clerk letters are only communications of the Clerk who has apparently acted without authority as the Court in this lawsuit. For the aforementioned reasons, Hunter requests that these four aforementioned Clerk’s Letters be stricken and that any Clerk Letter that does states that it communicates a decision by this Court but that does not include the word “order” in the title and does not show the name of the justice or justices who made the decision be stricken. TEXAS RULE OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE 10.3(b) -4- Hunter requests that the two aforementioned motions be dispensed with by a court order signed by at least one justice. Notwithstanding the fact that the two aforementioned letters sent by the Clerk to Hunter (“Clerk Letters”) establish that the two aforementioned motions were not dispensed with by the Court and were only handled by the Clerk, Hunter requests that the two aforementioned motions filed on March 1 and March 3, 2015, be reconsidered in accordance with TRAP 10.3(b) in the event that this court believes that the two associated Clerk Letters satisfy minimum legal guidelines to be classified as court orders. Hunter also requests that this court provide a written explanation establishing the facts and the applicable law relied upon if this court classifies the four aforementioned Clerk Letters as court orders. WHEREFORE, the Appellant requests that the relief requested be granted. Respectfully Submitted, /s/ Chase Carmen Hunter -5- Chase Carmen Hunter Appellant, pro se 340 S.
