Walker," postponed a 9:30 AM Pre- Trial Hearing, with Honorable Judge "Scott J. Becker." resid- ing. Further, drove to meet up with this Petitioners U.S. Assis- tant District Attorney; "Tracey M. Batson,".whose the prosecutor in defendants parallel case's;§to retrieve a copy of his Federal (11)(C)(1)(C) Plea Agreement. 'D.A. Walker went to doctrine the petitioner's federal (11)(C)(1)(C) plea agreement, to make it suit her Aggravated Kidnapping case she was prosecuting again~ st this defendant in his State parallel case's. Further, in federal Court, all weapon_giolation’s was dismissed against. this defendant during plea negptiations. ' 3 ' 5 On November 28, 2012, at 1230 PM postponed Pre-Trial hearing in Case NO. 219-81234-2012, 219-81235-2012 and 219-82905~2012.
D.A. Walker entered this federal plea agreement into the Court‘s. record, now saying petitioner gave U.S. Marshal‘s verbal consent (1) :o search a parked,_locked vehicle on private property, where a firearm was recovered. Therefore, they (Prosecutor's) doc- trined the plea agreement to fit an Aggravated Kidnapping, using the federal (11)(C)(1)(C) plea agreement as a confession to find this petitioner guilty on all his State parallel case's.` Under Texas Penal Code, Section 32.48 (Simulating Legal Process) (a) A person commits an offense if the person reckless~_ ly causes to be delivered to another any document that simulates a simmons, complaint, judgment, or other Court process with the intent to: (2) Cause another to; (A) Submit to the putative authority of the document, or (d) If it is shown on the trial of an offense under this section that the simulating document was filed with, presented to, or delivered to a Clerk of a Court or an Employee of a Clerk of a Court created or established under the constitution or laws of this State, there is a re- butable presumption that the document was delivered with the intent described by section (a).
Gn November 28, 2012, State Assistant District Attorney entered this federal (ll)(C)(l)(C) Plea Agreement, into the States record to use as a confession against this petitioner.
After this petitioner saw that the State of Texas was using his Federal Plea Agreement against him, he entered a Motion_ in Federal §ourt to withdraw his guilty plea. z On;January 30, 2013, at petitioner's federal hearing to_ withdraw his guilty plea, the U.S. Assistant District Attorney, had the State Assistant District Attorney actively participating- fn the petitioner's federal hearing to withdraw his guilty plea, on video and audio, sitting at the table for federal prosecuting Attorney's.
On March 4, 2013, the United States Magistrate Judge; "Amos L. Hazzant," in his fact finding and recommendation to the District Judge, was to grant petitioner a right to withdraw his guilty plea and to take the case to trial before a jury.
On March 18, 2013, U.S. and State Assistant District Attor‘ ney's entered an Objection, certifying that'the State of Texas would not use the Federal (11)(C)(1)(C) Plea Agreement as a confession in petitioner's State parallel case's. Further; knowing that the federal plea agreement was already entered into the State‘s record "November 28, 2012," as confession, five (5) months prior to even entering this objection March 18, 2013. l On April 10, 2013, U.S. District Judge; "Marcia A. Crone," denied the Magistrate Judge fact finding and recommendation, on the grounds that the State of/Texas certified that they would not use the Federal.Plea Agreement as.a confession with the State, and made the guilty plea stand. j Pursuant to the Texas Penal Code, Section 36.04, Improper Inffuence (a) A person commits an offense if he privately addres- ses a representation; entreaty, argument, o; other communica§ion to any public servant;who exercises or will exercise official discretion in an adjudicatory proceeding with an intent to in- fluence the outcome of the`proceeding on the'basis of consider; / ations other than those authorized by law. (B) for purposes if this section, "adjudicatory Proceeding," means any proceed~ ing before a Court or any other agency of Government in which the Legal rights, powers, duties, or privileges of specified parties are determined.
Under the Texas Penal Code, section 36.02, Bribery (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly offers, confers, or agrees to confer on auother, or solicits, 4'accepts, or agrees to accept from another: (l) Any benefits as consideration for the recipient's decision, (Slam Dunk's in both, State and Federal Court's, by getting the guilty plea to stand), opinion, recommendation, vote, or other exercise of discretion as a public servant, party official, or voter; (2) any benefits as consideration for the recipient's decision, vote, recommendation, or other exercise of official discretion in a judicial or administrative proceeding; (4) (C) It is no defense to prosecution under this section that the`benefit is not offered or conferred or the the benefit is not solicited or accepted until after; (l) the.decision, opinion, recommendaj tion, vot;, or other exercise of discretion has occurred; or 7 (2) the public servant ceases to be a public servant.
It's clear that this petitioner was tag deemed by State and U.S. Assis}ant District Att%rney’s, who deceiyed the Federal Court Judge's, simply to set themselves up with slam dunks in both Court's. Further, denying this petitioner his 5th and 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, depriving _..:,h.im. § __ 1' i S._h_ t__, _ t_? l d 11 s P rO,C e S S. .e_n.d;__§q ua.l_,__.P,.r.Q teg._.t_,i_.p. nl . ._o f then ;_l_a,.w, _, ,… . ,l_.¢ .-- _...,__ _ , by denying him a right to take the case to trial before a jury.
Under the Texas Penal Code, section 37.03, Aggravated Perjury, (a) A person commits an offense if he commits perjury as defined in section 37,02, and the false staement: (l) Is made during or in connection with an official proceeding; and (2) Is Material; (b) An offense under this section is a fel- ony of the third degree.
Section_37104, Materiality, (a) A statement is material, regardless of the admissibility of the statement under-the rules of evidence, if it could have effected the course or outcome of the official proceeding. (b) It is no defense to prosecution nunder section 37.03 (Aggravated Perjury) that declarant mistaken~ ly believed the statement to be immaterial. (C) Whether a State- ment is material in a given factual situation is a question of law.
37.13, Record of a Fraudulent Court, (a) A person commits . an offense if the person makes, presents, or uses any document or other record with: (1) Knowledge that the document or other record is not a record of a Court created under or established by the constitution or laws of this State or of the United States.

Rafael De La Garza, ll CC: Andrea Stroh Thompson District Clerk, U.S. District Court Eastern District of Texas Clerk of Court Subject: Machinations of the Prosecution, Suppression of favorable eye witnesses.
Dear Mr. De La Garza: There is still a reasonable solution which will prevent the state administration from sporting the black eye that was so rich|y deserved by the United States District Attorney Offlce. l reiterated my previous request that you join with the trials Judge in requesting production of documents and discovery, under _Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
This was a painful ordeal for both attorneys (|n the above mentioned case numbers).
The defendant did not wish to portray you or your oche as incompetent, but rather as a victim of the machinations of the prosecution. lt is not my belief in which, controls the courts'.
However, the sixth amendment mandates that your office should be willing to do whatever it could to achieve simple justice.
Attorney Terri Danie|, before leaving my state case's as my counsel, had information as to the whereabouts of two eye witnesses who talked with the complainant at (3029 Barnes Bridge St., Da|las, TX 75228) the day of 03-21-2012.
These eye witnesses for the defense were an investment as a community and created a terrible liability for the state and its charging instrument Remedy: ”The eye witnesses provides evidence that complainant was not being held in any fashion, against her will or abducted as communicated on a sworn, lega|, government and state document". Both court officials held knowledge of their existence.
Since it can be proven that the complaining victim falsified legal documents with an insurance agency, irving and Da|las Po|ice Departments, there is no other legitimate conclusion that can be reached by reasonable minds other than that Ms. Love had the understanding with the state to which she submitted a sworn, signed affidavit Offer Proof: ”This 2003 Lincoln LS, V|N 1LNH-M86$33Y677740, was fixed at the Ford dealership located at Beltline Rd. and Highway 30 in irving or Grand Prairie, Texas in January of 2012.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Rafael De La Garza il CC: Andrea Stroh Thompson District Clerk, U.S. District Court Eastern District of Texas Clerk of Court, Subject: File motions, to compel compliance with States Plea Agreement and Force the iudgment of the Trial Court.
Dear Mr. De La Garza: l receive your letter dated January 14, 2014. You stated that your office contacted the AUSA to inform the US Marshalls. Have we come so far that the defense can't trust the state or its administration to play fair and must continually be there saying ”obey court orders, obey court orders”? Regarding the Fiasco of the Coilin County Sheriff's Oflice failure to obey court orders.
Under the rules of iaw, your office must file a motion to compel compliance with Plea Agreement, and enforce iudgment of the Trial Court. Emphasis that per the agreement, state time has to run concurrent with Federai sentence, and by being sent to the state first prevents fulfillment of the plea agreement As the defendant can only be credited for time actually in Federai custody.
Your office must file motion to Federai court for an order of Recovery, urging that the state only had temporary jurisdiction and request a motion to enforce the courts judgment Per Plea Agreement stress the times lost while being in states custody, and request in motion the good time credit you failed to mention during my sentencing i was arrested 03-26-2012, nearly two years time served in Coilin County Jail. lt seemed to me to be the definitive statement that courtroom officials are unable to comply with time honored principle of law.

Grounds 1. Suppression of exculpatory evidence 2. Knowingly, willingly and intentionally used perjured testimony (name|y) complaintant signed statement of facts which was presented to the grand jury. f l 3. Citing Gatson, suppressed evidence was not a work product of the State or Government. Deceit produced court Rulings under the Fourteenth Amendment is a denial of Due Process.
Emphases added: in the present case United States Assistant District Attorney and State Assistant District Attorney is guilty of Suppressing Evidence Favora ble to the accused, deceiving the trial courts during petitioners trial court proceedings Had the defendant held personal knowledge and/or had possession of said Favorabie Evidence he would not entered a plea of guilty in open court.` Therefore, evidence would have changed the outcome of trial court proceedings.
Emphases added: Cure: Had this Favorabie Evidence (Phone Records and Text messages) been presented to a grand jury and the courts; the accused would not had been indicted in the State and Government charging instrument Therefore, the outcome in the courts' proceedings would have resulted in a case dismissal.
Emphases added: Vindictive Prosecution The Courts’ believe that there is no room in the system for personal feelings, prejudices, vendettas or any other machinations in the way of fundamental fairness.

On May 14, 2014; the Clerk served the State with the Application for writ of habeas corpus filed lby Dietrick Lewis Johnson (Applicant) pursuant to Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. ll.07.
2.
An application filed under Article ll.07 provides for a prompt review by the trial court to determine Whether the application alleges any facts that iftrue, could entitle the applicant to relief See art 11.07, § 3(_0`). li"th,e court determines ~that controverted fact issues do exist, it shall enter an order designating the issues of fact to be resolved Ia'. § 3(d); see Martin v. Hamlin, 25 S.W.3d 718, 719 (Tex. Crim. A.pp. 2000) (holding the trial court has a duty to designate issues if it determines a habeas application contains controverted issues). Upon entry of an order designating issues, the clerk need not forward the application ».to the Court of Criminal Appeals for 180 days. TeX. R.

Applicant alleges prosecutorial misconduct, that his plea bargain is not being followed, ineffective assistance _of trial ' counsel, and actual innocence claims.
5. _ The State generally denies each of Applicant’s allegations The State believes there are controverted issues cof fact material to Applicant’s incarceration The State therefore requests that this Court enter an order designating such issues and the manner of their resolution so that it may, after the issues are resolved, submit a response to assist the Court in making its findings of fact and conclusions of law.
