PRINE CLERK Appellant, Pro Se FILED IN E Eggleston St Unit B, Manor TX 78653 15th COURT OF APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS 512-662-2955 [email protected] 10/17/2025 12:45:53 PM CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE Clerk October 17, 2025
Honorable Justices of the Fifteenth Court of Appeals RE: Cause No. 15-25-00142-CV – Battaile v. Texas Elections Division, et al. – Clarification Regarding Number of Defendants
To the Honorable Justices of the Fifteenth Court of Appeals: This is a direct request for correction. Your October 16, 2025 Order says I “had sued approximately forty-two defendants.” That is false. Flat-out false.
The record and my operative filings show far fewer. The exaggerated number appears to come from someone else’s careless wording — and it was simply parroted into your Order. That kind of mistake may look small, but it goes to the very credibility of appellate review. When a newly established “elite” court repeats bad facts from one side’s paper, it tells citizens that precision and fairness are optional. This reflects a breakdown in careful review inconsistent with the standards of justice the Fifteenth Court was created to exemplify.
This Court is still within its plenary authority under Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 19.1. You have full power to fix it — right now — without motions, without delay, without excuses. I’m asking you to do that.
Please correct the record to remove the “forty-two defendants” line and reflect the actual number in my pleadings. Accuracy matters. I expect the amended order or a notation to that effect to be filed promptly. Thank you.
Respectfully,
