MOTION FOR EVIDENTIARY HEARING AND
BENCH WARRANT FOR ATTENDANCE
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:
COMES NOW; Felix Deleon , Pro Se Applicant, in the above numbered writ of habeas corpus, and humbly ask this honorable Court to construe this pro se document liberally. See Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520, 92 S.Ct. 594, 30 L.Ed 652 (1972). (pro se complaint held to less strigent standards than formal papers drafted by lawyers) Applicant moves this court to order Appli cant bench warranted back for attendance of evidentiary hearing.
In support of this Motion Applicant would show the following: I.
The Applicant in the above numbered writ of habeas corpus is presently illegally confined in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional Division (TDCJ-ID), under a conviction for voluntary manslaughter. Applicant was sentenced to a term of 20 years imprisonment.
II-
THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS issued an ORDER to this Court as the appropiate forum for findings of fact by any means set out in TEX. CODE CRIM. PROC. art. 11.07, § 3(d)- This Court can elect to hold an evidentiary hearing.
END OF PAGE 01 - PAGE 02 TO FOLLOW Applicant request this Court hold an evidentiary hearing, so that I may give my testimony because not all the evidence will be found in the trial record. Applicant has established a "colorable- claim, alleging specif ic facts fwhich , if true, would. entitle...me to relief. I am requesting the oppurtunity to develop(the facts in state court. Contorverted "facts" found by the state court while denying a request for an evidentiary hearing necessarily resulted from an "unreasonable determinations" of the facts, and hence are not entitled to any presumption of correctness. "Where a state court makes evidentiary findings without holding a hearing and giving the petitioner an oppurtunity to present evidence, such findings clearly result in an 'unreasonable determination' of the facts." Taylor v. Maddox, 366 F.3d 992, 1001 (9th.Cir. 2004). Ap plicant urges an evidentiary hearing be conducted and I be afford ed the oppurtunity to attend and present evidence on my behalf, so that justice may be done and that Applicant be accorded due pro cess and due course of law as respectively guaranteed by the Fe deral and Texas Constitutions.
III.
The Warden of the Gib Lewis Unit, TDCJ-ID will release the Applicant into the custody of the authorities of Cooke County upon issuance of a bench warrant with the agreement and under standing that after the Applicant has been acorded a evidentiary in this writ of habeas corpus, the applicant will be returned by by the authorities of Cooke County into the custody of TDCJ-ID where applicant now stands duly committed by law.
CONCLUSION
END OF PAGE 02 - PAGE 03 TO FOLLOW WHEREFORE , PREMISES CONSIDERED, the applicant urges that this Court, wherein the above captioned writ of habeas corpus is pending, issue an order in the nature of holding a evidentiary hearing and issuing a bench warrant directing the prosecuting Officials of Cooke County to produce the body of the said Appli- cantbefore this Court within 20 days from the filing of this Motion so that a Evidentiary Hearing and Bench Warrant may be accorded the Applicant in this Writ of Habeas Corpus.
