Comas now, Ka£ael Vasquez; Appl£canm here£é: to file these} his supplemental OBJECTIONS 10 THE Tcial Court’s dismissal of * hit Writ of Habeas Cotphh. Said Otdec was dated'ZS Fabruary, 2015, postmarked 3/5/15, and received Dy Appliganc on 3/10/2015.
Thua, lhahds hill 3/20/2015 to eimaly Etla his obje¢tions. See Houstoo v. back 687 0.8. 266, 101 L.EdZd 265, 108 S.Ct. 2379 (1988)(Courc documents timely £iledal£ placed in a prison unit mailbox on or dbiore the last day of filing)¢ HISTORY Foc the sake of judicial economy, Applicant respectfully reminds this Honorable C¢urc that a more complete background is contained within the Applicant's £irs& objeetions filed on March 11, 201$. Here, Applieanf simply attaches two additional objections.
OBJECTIOH §2 a. The Ttiab court lacked jurisdiction to nike diacretionary findings of fast and conclusions of law in her dismissal of 2/23/2015. Any discretional act plat§umed by a disqualified judge is void. Burketv v. Snave 196 S.w.3d 892 (Tex.App.~-Texarkana 2006); Hete, the Tr£al¢@€urc failed or 2efused to make any findings of fact dr conglusiona of law as to whoever or non aba should 1. noonan hotsclt. when faced with a Motion for Rocuoal, a Judgo has two optionc; Grant the Motion to Rccuso-~or pass the document on to another judge for dicposition. In the instant casc, the ' Trial Court envoked very limited jurisdiction and diiorction thus creating the vary structural error further dcnyinggnpplionnt bia right to an impartial fact finder. Scc Abdgga£garova v. Stcta s.n.sd 191 (Tex.App.-»san Anconio, zon?q(rhxs same trial court having been found to be piltial,§tcnultcd in thc reversal of a capital murder conviction)g Cain §§ Statc 967 S.w.Zd 262, (Tex.Crin. App. 1997)! Bluc v. Stntci'él S.W.Sd 129, 138 (Tcx.€rim.App. 2000); Tcx.€onst.ntt. Vj:§l~a(&)n. Eaaily, the Trlal£ Gourt'n limited jurisdiction puponc£ully operatcdato circumvent the "tcasonable member of the public at largo," analysis required when a judge is faced with n Motion for Rocunal.
Abd¥gaggauovn v. State augrn.,(citing Arizona v. Fulminnn!§go U.St 279 (19$1).
OBJECTION #3 a. In East v. Scott 55 F.Sd 996,(5th Cit. 1995), the court held that "thc opportunity for an evidentiary hearing in a federal habeas corpus proceeding is mandatory only where there is a factual dispute which, if resolved in the pctitioner‘a £avor, would entitle the petitioner to relief and thc petitioner hoc not received a full and fair evidentiary hearing in the state oou:t.” (citing Townscnd v. Scin 372 U$S. 293 (1963). Horc, the Ttial Goutt has _cnvokcd diacretionary, limited jurisdiction that operated to deny Applicant thc opportunity to cnvoko the appropriate standard of evidence used in answering the question of whether or not the Trial Court should ih&¢ recused hersel£t An evidentiary 2. hearing is required to asced¢hin the merlsoriens facts wh¢ue the state trier of fact relied on an error of law in determining thét she lacked jurisdiction over a writ of habeas corpus seeking only an out»o£»time appeal opportunizy. Towuaend, §gggg.

Appli§ant‘s Obje§§ion to the Trlal Couct'a dismissal #4: a. Primarilly, the ¢§ial Court olleg§s that she does not hav§ jurisdiction "unleas the application contains sufficient sp§§iflo 1. facts eacabllihing th§c the current olaim§ and issues have not been and could not hoye been pceoentod_pgeviously in an original appltoation.“ Tax.Codo Crim» Froo¢, Arc. 11.07 §§ (a)(l)(Order, Findings of Fact and Conoluaioos of Law, pg. 2,,2/23/2015).

Id. lnterestingly, ThehTrlal Court has ovér~- looked this element of the statutory roquicomenta. And 1a any eveant, _z doilnition, Applicant haas hot rely on newly d1sooved¢dd ev1dence to show that a “raasonable fano-finder would fnot] have £61und the ApOlioant guilty of the underlying offenae."
