November 12, 2015 Abel Acosta VIA ELECTRONIC FILING Clerk of the Court of Criminal Appeals Supreme Court Building West 14th Street Austin, Texas 78701 Re: Ex parte Kyle Carpenter Dietrich CCA Cause No. WR-84,163-01 Trial Court Cause No. 1072796-A Dear Mr. Acosta: I filed a habeas corpus application on behalf of Kyle Carpenter Dietrich in the 178th District Court of Harris County January 14, 2011. I used the version of the Court’s form that was revised on March 5, 2007. Thereafter, I filed a first amended application on June 6, 2013, using the version of the form that was revised on September 1, 2011. I modified both forms by inserting additional pages to summarize the facts of each claim. At the time I filed the applications, the applicable rules did not prohibit such modification.

The Court received the habeas record from the district clerk on November 5, 2015. Out of an abundance of caution, I am filing a second amended application using the version of the form that was revised on January 1, 2014, which now instructs applicants not to attach any additional pages for any item. I am filing the second amended application to ensure that I have complied with the current rules regarding the form, even though the initial and first amended applications complied with the rules that were in effect at the time they were filed.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please contact me with any questions.

Sincerely, /S/ Josh Schaffer Josh Schaffer cc: Linda Garcia Chris Daniel, Harris County District Clerk
