Notice of Appeal ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. Notice of appeal is being filed in this case in response to the Order Granting Defendant's Plea to the Jurisdiction and Alternatively Motion to Dismiss for the following reasons:

2. Ample evidence was presented showing that the State violated code of law by not processing the Plaintiff's application for compensation for wrongful imprisonment.

3. The Defendant plead a plea to the jurisdiction based upon sovereign government immunity which was not in line with federal law considering that sovereign civil immunity superseding had already been on the side of the Plaintiff as had been claimed and proven in the exhibits.

4. The Defendant's plea asserted immunity from prosecution based upon sovereignty, which there exists no code of law for, and so a higher court may perceive that the violation alleged actually did occur considering that such a plea would acknowledge such inadvertently, and so this matter may be heard in an appellate court considering that there was a violation which did technically occur as confirmed by the State's on plea and that a sovereign caveat was arguably in favor of the Plaintiff with the burden of proof having rested away from the Plaintiff under recession's clause per Texas Rules of Evidence, to which no evidence was presented to the contrary, which may be seen as indicating that this Court's judgment was at least perhaps more in error than not considering, under civil preponderance. ___________________________________________________________________________________ I, Plaintiff Steven J Stringfellow, hereby certify that all of the foregoing is true and correct under penalty of law.
