COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS oF TEXAS JERRELL GLENN DITTMAN, § Petitioner § § chA NO. wR-81;594-03 v. § § TR. cT. No. w10-00566-v£B) wILLIAM.sTEPHENs, § Dir. TDcJ-ID § MOTION TO COMPEL RULING IN FINDINGS OF FACTS AND CONCLUSION OF LAW HEARING PROCEDURAL HISTORY, ln Applicant's Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to Art. 11.07, Mr. Dittman claimed that his trial attorneys were ineffective for failing to file a Motion to Suppress the evidence which was taken illegally and for failure to object during the course of trial to evidence being admitted in effort to obtain conviction.

On March 4,2015, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals remand- ed Applicant's State Habeas back to the 292nd Judicial Court of Dallas County, Texas for further findings of the Facts and Conclu- sion of Law. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals instructed the Dallas County Judicial Court to respond tb the following questions to de- termine if Applicant's claims are factual and contain merit.

1). If Applicant's blood sample was drawn solely for medical purposes or at the request of a peace of- ficer?

2). If Applicant was placed under arrest for a Chapter offense at the time of the blood draw?

3). lf Applicant gave consent to the blood draw?

4). If there was a search warrant issued?aadd; 5). if é;igéntncircumstances existed?

On September-11,2015, the 292nd Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas held a hearing to determine these factual alle- gations presented on State Habeas. Applicant's retained attorney dis- puted the Dallas County District Attorney's claim that it was irs relevant that the illegal sample was entered into evidence because they had another sample taken for medical purposes only, that even- tually would support the State's claim of intoxication.Therefore the contents in the blood sample was going to be admitted via medical treatment blood sample that had been taken.

IN SUPPORT OF APPLICANT'S ILLEGAL BLOOD SAMPLE CLAIM Applicant argues that the second blood sample came after the fact. The illegal blood sample is what was used to charge,aindicfjst and subsequently convicttApplicant. Applicant presents a factual allegation that the hospital blood sample would have been "fruit of the poisonous tree" (MMLF'v. State, 137 S.W. 3d 797 (Tex. App.-Waco 2004). Under the "frnit of therpoisonous tree doctrinej" all evidence derived from exploitation of an illegal seizure must be suppressed unless the State shows that there was a break in the chain of events sufficient to refute the inference that the evidence was a product of the Fourth Amendment. spy Applicant argues that the State admitted the results of the medical treatment sample thatfwasn{tkh$ihe original records at the time of trial. The District Attorney retrived the medical treatment sam& ple results after the trial and presented them in the record during the said hearing conducted on September 11)2015 some four and a half years after the trial in this instant case.

Applicant request this Court to reverse this judgment and conviction according to Rule 44.2(A) that states that Eif the appel- lant record in a criminal case reveals Constitutional error that is subject to harmless error review that the Court of Appeals must re-- verse a judgment of conviction or punishment unless the Court deter- mines beyond reasonable doubt that the error did not contribute to the conviction or punishment.

Applicant brings before this Honorable Court that it was the illegal blood draw and not the medical treatment blood draw that was used to charge, indict, and convict Applicant.Applicant's attorneys were ineffective in failing to suppress the illegal blood draw and object during the course of the trial to said evidence being entered into evidence.

PRAYER Applicant has presented factual allegations that has taken place in the instant case along with presenting to this Court the disregard exercised by the Statei»znot responding to the questions presented by this Court, Applicant pleas this Court to grant relief deemed necessary in the name of justice.
