                       MOTION FOR LEAUE TO FILE OUT OF TIME PDR



TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
      Comes now Randall Bolivar, Petitioner Pro Se, and respectfully moves the Hi?
Court to grant him leave to fileran out of time petition for discretionary
review in the Court of Criminal Appeals, and in support shows:
                                          FACTS

1. Appellant filed a pre-trial writ of habeas corpus, and a hearing was held
      Dune 14, 2011 . (RR-16)

2. The trial court denied the relief requested, and an interlocutary appeal
   ensued. ( Thirteenth Court of Appeals, Cause No. 13-11-00397-CR)
3. The Thirteenth Court of Appeals delivered'a published opinion, by Justice
      Gregory T. Perkes, on November 1, 2012. The case is cited as EX PARTE
      RANDALL BOLIUAR, 3B6 S.(J.3d 33B (Tex. App. Corpus Christi 2012).
4. Appellate counsel wrote Appellant on November 3, 2012 to notify Appellant
   of the appellate court's affirmation, ,but did not make any reference to a
   Petition for Discretionary Review. (See communication from counsel)attached)
5. Appellant first became aware of his right to a PDR in the instant case on
      May 11, 2015 while reviewing the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedures in
      anticipation of having to respond to any brief or objection filed by the
      State in response to the Writ of Mandamus and Stay of Proceedings filed by
      Petitioner just a few days before.
6. Appellant has never received the Appellate Brief, nor the trial court's
   order of denial in the^undeftying case, so as to properly appeal.
7. Appellant has never been advised of his rights under Rule 6B, TRAP, as
   required under Rule 48.4, TRAP, and the record supports his claim.
H                                        ARGUMENT

      Appellant argues he is entitled to file an out of time petition for discret
ionary review due to counsel's failure to inform him of his rights pursuant to
Rules 66 and 6B, TRAP, as required under Rule 48.4, TRAP. The Clerk's Record
                                           (1/2)
for the Thirteenth Court of Appeals will affirmatively support Appellant's
claim that he was not counseled on his right to a PDR, as there is no copy of
a certified mail being filed with the court, as required under Rule 48.4, TRAP.
Therefore, Petitioner retains his right to seek leave to file anr.out of time
PDR, and further prosecute the denial of his writ of habeas corpus.
                                    PRAYER FOR RELIEF

    Wherefore, premises considered, Petitioner prays this Honorable Court will
grant leave to file an out of time PDR in Cause No. 13-11-00397-CR, from the
Thirteenth Court of Appeals.
                                                          Respectfully Submitted,

Hi Randall,

I hope this letter finds you well and safe and sound. Unfortunately, it does not bear good news. The 13th Court of
Appeals ruled on our pretrial writ of habeas corpus on Thursday, affirming the trial court. I was in court and got the
message, and saved the opinion to read thoroughly yesterday. I have now read the opinion and will share with you
the important part of it's contents. They hung their hat on the fact that no "fact finding" was made at the trial court
level. They said that because Trey Garza did not argue that at trial court level, I could not argue that in my appeal. I
did argue findings of fact were made.
 They also seemed to make a great issue of the fact that at the MTS, you and Mr. Flynn argued you wanted your day
in court. So they are so generously giving it to you (I'm sorry for my sarcasm, but we have a terrible court of appeals
who is made up of a bunch of Republican Civil Lawyers, who are weanies and will do anything to not overturn a
criminal case).

Here are some important portions of the opinion:

To determine whether collateral estoppel bars a subsequent prosecution....a cout must determine 1) exactly what
facts were necessarily decided in the first proceeding; and 2) whether those necessarily decided facts constitute
essential elements of the offense in the second trial, (test they use).

In the appeal, I argued that the Judge's comments amount to an adverse fact finding to the state. This is he portion
where Judge Hernandez says that the state came up short on evidence, hence her not true finding.

The court of appeals says: We first note that appellant's argument on appeal, that the Kleberg County district court's
comments during sentencing constituted a fact finding adverse to the State on the murder allegation, was not
preserved for our review because appellant did not make this argument in the Cameron County district court.

They say that they disagree with us that a fact finding was made. Docket entry only says "not true". Because there
were many counts alleged in the motion to revoke probation, the court says it was unnecessary for the district court to
make any additional findings regarding the other revocation grunds alleged.


So, basically, they argue that the Cameron County district court's decision was correct because appellant did not
meet his burden of demonstrating that the kleberg county court made a fact finding adverse to state.



Okay, so there it is. Hopefully, you have a full copy of the opinion from the 13th court of appeals.

I'm going to give you some time to digest this, as I took a day or two myself, and then we must move forward.
I am going to be completely frank with you here. Luis wants to withdrawal from your case due to lack of payment.
Trust me, I know how hard the financial situation has been for you and your family, with Rudy's trial fees, etc. I want
to appeal this case to the Court of Criminal Appeals. I also want to try the case, but I don't feel comfortable doing so
alone. I need Luis's experience with murder trials and his familiarity with Brownsville. If there is no money available,
we could try to get appointed to the murder case, but that is highly unlikely as you took Trey Garza off of his
appointment. Pate did appoint us to your other cases though.

I want to see this through as I am committed to your case, but I am a bit stuck between a rock and a hard place. I still
feel just as passionate about this case and the law as I did the first day Chad brought it to me. I am ready to submit
motions to the district court because the Cameron County DA has not provided us with any discovery, we do not have
any deal made to Rolando or Rudy, and we do have a signed motion on both stating for the state to provide those. I
am also prepared to get ready to try this case. The problem is, the situation may have changed based on what Rudy's
statement says.

I will await word from you.

Thanks Randall, take care,
Lisa
