I. ISSUES PRESENTED

        1. THE PANEL’S ANALYSIS OF THE MOOTNESS DOCTRINE
           IGNORES THE FACT AND MISSTATES THE LAW

        2. THE THREE JUDGE PANEL AFFIRMANCE OF THE TRIAL
           COURT’S JUDGMENT WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, A
           VIOLATION OF THE TEXAS RULES OF APPELLATE
           PROCEDURE AND ARBITRARY BECAUSE IT WAS DECIDED
           BY A THREE JUDGE PANEL OF ONE1 - CHIEF JUSTICE
           RADACK

II.     PREFACE

        The appellant filed this his first amended motion for rehearing and En banc

consideration pursuant to T.R.A.P 38.7 and 49.6. He filed it to correct some

clerical errors and to give the Court an opportunity to articulate under what

condition a motion Judge should refer a motion to a three judge panel for a

decision. Presently, the common practice is to leave that decision at the discretion

of one judge. As can be seen here such a decision may have catastrophic

consequence like in this case.

III.    INTRODUCTION:

        The Appellant filed Motion for Rehearing and En Banc Reconsideration

because the Panel issued not just a mere adverse opinion but a flawed one when in

affirming the lower Court’s Judgment it held that the “voluntary lifting of notice of

decision

                                                        3
Lis Pendens does not render those claims for monetary damages moot”. This

disturbing holding is beguiling in its superficiality and simplicity. It so flawed that

even the Panel’s reliance on James v. Calkins, 446 S.W.3d 135, 144 (Tex. App.—

Houston [1st Dist.] 2014, pet. filed) (plaintiff’s voluntary nonsuit did not moot

defendant’s claims for costs, fees, and sanctions) was misplaced.

      Further, the panel decision was flawed because it was precipitated by Justice

Radack’s obstruction of justice. Her conduct caused the three judge panel to affirm

the lower court’s judgment when they could not reach a decision on Diogu’s Lack

Of Notice and the trial court’s Denial Of His Right To A Jury Trial issues because

of a lack of reporter’s record. In essence that decision was reached by only one

judge panel, Justice Radack in violation of the Texas Appellate Rules of

Procedure.

IV. PUBLIC INTEREST REQUIRES A REHEARING AND EN BANC
RECONSIDERATION:

      The Appellant asserts that the Panel of this court(s) has committed grave

errors of judgment that are of such importance to the public interest of this state, it

should compel correction. In this case the Panel affirmed the Judgment of the

lower court by holding that the voluntary lifting of notice of Lis Pendens does not

render those claims for monetary damages moot even though by law there was no

Lis Pendens filed by the Appellant in the Fort Bend County Deed Record when the

Appellee filed her claims for monetary damages. This is very remarkable because
                                           4
if it holds, this three judge panel of the First Court of Appeal of the States would

single handedly amend not just the Constitution of the State of Texas but that of

the United States of America, the interpretation of the relevant constitutions by the

Supreme Court of both the States of Texas and United States of America as it

relates to the construction and/or interpretation of the case and controversy

principles as it relates to the mootness doctrine.

      The Appellant also asserts that the decision to affirm the lower court’s

judgment is so flawed that it needs review because it was made by a judge panel

of one – Judge Radack.

V. THE PANEL FAILED TO ADHERE TO PRECEDENTS

      This is disturbing because the panel patently rejected both the Constitution

of the State Texas and Texas Supreme Court’s interpretation of the that

Constitution because the Texas Supreme Court has repeatedly held that a court

cannot decide a case that becomes moot before and during the pendency of the

litigation. Heckman v. Williamson Cnty., 369 S.W.3d 137, 162 (Tex. 2012). No

justiciable controversy exists if the issues/dispute that spurred the lawsuit are no

longer "live" or if the parties lack a legally cognizable interest in the

outcome. Heckman, 369 S.W.3d at 162. The Texas Constitution of Texas as it

relates to Cases or controversy is identical and/or analogous to the US Constitution

which permits Court to decide legal questions only in the context of actual "Cases"


                                            5
or "Controversies." U. S. Const., Art. III, §2. An "`actual controversy must be

extant at all stages of review, not merely at the time the complaint is filed.'" Preiser

v. Newkirk, 422 U. S. 395, 401 (1975) (quoting Steffel v. Thompson, 415 U. S.

452, 459, n. 10 (1974)).

        On the other hand this holding may have been as a result of the confusing

nature of the timeline in this case or the manner to which2 it was briefed by the

Appellant as such the court’s opinion is understandable. Also, the holding could be

perfectly logical if the Appellee had filed their lawsuit seeking damages and

declaratory judgment before the Appellant voluntarily lifted his Lis Pendens but

that was not the case. As a result there was no actual "Cases" or "Controversies."

Because at the time Appellee sought monetary damages the case was moot since

there was no Lis Pendens in the Fort Bend County Real Property Record when the

Appellee first filed its damage claims etc. with the Court

VI. THE CASE IN MOST PART WAS DECIDED BY A ONE JUDGE

OTHER JUDGES FROM MAKING THE FINE JUDGMENTS THEY
WOULD HAVE MADE IN THIS CASE BUT FOR HER OBSTRUCTION
        In this case the three judge panel (the umpire) overruled Diogu Issues on

Lack Of Notice Of Trial Setting and Denial Of Right To A Jury Trial because of

the sand thrown in their eyes by Justice Radack in her adverse ruling on Diogu’s

Motion to abate appeal. Her ruling which had so much effect on this panel should

have been made by a three judge panel. Her ruling prevented the three Judge panel

in this appeal from making the fine judgments would have made. But for the Sand

that was thrown in their eyes by Judge Radack they would reversed and remanded

the case to the trial court.


                      RELEVANT STATEMENT OF THE FACTS
            CRITICAL AND CONTROLLING TIMELINES EVISCERATES
                 THE PANEL’S VERY FLAWED DECISION
        Appellant filed an Original and Amended petition for Annulment from his

wife including a TRO and an injunction. CR.17-34.

        Also, contained in the TRO/injunctions was an allegation that the

Defendants’ were planning to secrete her property from the United States and or

conceal from the Petitioner, therein and appellant herein the property (real3 and

Personal) CR.31-33, 44-45. When real property became an issue in the litigation.

Id. To maintain the status quo the Appellant filed a Lis Pendens on a premises

described as Lot Twenty Three (23) in Block One (1) of Cinco Ranch Greenway

Village, Section Nine (9), A Subdivision in Fort Bend County, Texas According to

the Map or Plat Thereof Recorded Under Slide No (s) 1550/B, 1551/A and 1551/B

  At that her only real property was a premises described as Lot Twenty Three (23) in Block One (1) of Cinco
Ranch Greenway Village, Section Nine (9), A Subdivision in Fort Bend County, Texas According to the Map or Plat
Thereof Recorded Under Slide No (s) 1550/B, 1551/A and 1551/B of the Plat Record of Fort Bend County, Texas.

                                                      7
of the Plat Record of Fort Bend County, Texas. Id. and once the TRO and the

Injunction related issues were resolved and or abandoned on or about April 09th,

2013, the appellant cancelled and expunged the Lis Pendens. TAB A., 17-19

2SCR.20-22

      However, on or about April 22nd, 2013 after the Lis. Pendens have been

cancelled and expunged, the Appellee filed a Counterclaim and Declaratory solely

based on the allegations contained in on the Appellant’s Original and subsequent

amended Petition for Annulment and the filing of the Lis Pendens. CR.126-33.

      On or about April 15th, 2013 and October 30th, 2013 the Appellant nonsuited

his wife and the Appellee respectively. CR.122-125 and CR.134-136. Nonetheless,

the Appellee maintained her Counterclaims even though she no longer owned the

premises described as Lot Twenty Three (23) in Block One (1) of Cinco Ranch

Greenway Village, Section Nine (9), A Subdivision in Fort Bend County, Texas

According to the Map or Plat Thereof Recorded Under Slide No (s) 1550/B,

1551/A and 1551/B of the Plat Record of Fort Bend County, Texas. TAB A. 17-

19, 2SCR. 20-22. Further, nonetheless, the district court granted default judgment.

      The specific and relevant fact is that on or about April 09th, 2013, the

appellant expunged the Lis Pendens at issue in this case. TAB A., 17-19 2SCR.20-

22. Following that on or about April 22nd, 2013 after the Lis Pendens have been

cancelled and expunged, the Appellee for the first time, filed a Counterclaim and


                                          8
Declaratory solely based on the Lis Pendens and on the allegations contained in on

the Appellant’s Original and subsequent amended Petition for Annulment and the

filing of the Lis Pendens. CR.126-33.

CHIEF JUSTICE RADACK WHO IN DIOGU’S OPINION DOES NOT
CONSTITUTE A JURY OF HIS PEER4 SINGLE HANDEDLY DEPRIVED
DIOGU OF HIS RIGHT TO HAVE HIS APPEAL HEARD AND DECIDED
BY THE JURY OF HIS PEERS – THREE JUDGE PANEL OF NORMAL
FELLOW TEXAS CITIZENS.

         Chief Justice Radack5 is the wife of a powerful Republican Harris County

commissioner Honorable Steve Radack. Honorable Justice Sherry Radack was

appointed Chief Justice of the First Court of Appeals by Republican Governor

Rick Perry in December 2002. She was originally appointed to the Court in 2001

as a justice by the same Republican Governor Rick Perry. See this Court’s URL:

http://www.txcourts.gov/1stcoa/about-the-court/justices/chief-justice-sherry-

radack.aspx. That is not the normal way the average Texan like Diogu gets to

become a justice of a Court of Appeal much more a Chief judge of that Court.

         On 11/21/2014, the Diogu filed a Motion to abate this appeal because of

circumstances beyond his control. See the record under this Cause for the given

date attached herein by reference. And on 11/25/2014, Judge Radack sarcastically

reporter’s record within the 60-day extension window that she granted the

Appellant to file his opening brief. See this court’s record under this Cause on

the given date attached herein by reference.

        In her Order Judge Radack6 extended time for Diogu to file his appellant

brief to 60 days but barred Diogu from obtaining the reporter’s record7 even

though both could have been accomplished within the 60 day extension of time.

        She did so knowing that the lack of such record will gravely deprive the

Appellant’s right to properly prosecute his appeal and deny him the benefit of the

three judge panel. Further, she should have deferred that motion to a three Judge

panel as any reasonable judge under the circumstance would.

        Further, her decision was devoid of the premise of our justice system are (1).

Trust (2). Justice and (3) rudimental fairness. Further the danger in her decision

was that she knew that it will gravely affect the outcome of the appeal but she did

not give a damn. In doing so, she deprived Diogu of his protected liberty interest in

his property without consequence.

         In this case when she opened the window for Diogu to file Appellant’s brief

in 60 days but denied him the right to file reporter’s record at least within 30 of the

60 days she granted him. She extended time for Diogu to file his appellate brief on

one hand and barred Diogu from benefiting from the 60 day extension on the other

hand. Unfortunately, the 60 days extension of time was meaningless gesture.

         In so doing the three judge panel were deprived from reaching a decision on

the merit on at least 2 of Diogu’s points of errors on appeal.

                                SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT

         In holding that the voluntary lifting of notice of Lis Pendens does not render

those claims for monetary damages moot, the Panel made three (3) errors.

         First it ignored the Appellee’s live pleading filed nine (9) days after the Lis

Pendens was expunged8/removed/lifted from the Fort Bend County Real Estate

Record. Further, content of the Appellee’s request for declaratory judgment

requested Court Order to remove the Lis Pendens from the property records which

showed that the Appellee believed that the Appellant’s Notice of Lis Pendens was

still pending in the Fort Bend County Real Deeds Record when she sought her

monetary damages. Therefore this case should have been dismissed based on

judicial admission. This can occur in one of two ways for example: (1) pleading

an affirmative relief which is not recognized under Texas law, or (2) or pleading a

relief that does not exist at all. In this case Appellee pleaded affirmative relief that

did not exist – monetary damages and declaratory judgment in that the relief they

sought was null due a nonexistent Lis Pendens in the property records of Fort Bend

County. In either situation, a movant may support its motion for summary

judgment on the non-movant’s pleadings alone. Helena Lab. Corp. v. Snyder, 886

S.W.2d 767 (Tex. 1994). See also, Galvan v. Public Utilities Bd., 778 S.W.2d 580

(Tex. App. — Corpus Christi 1989) (defendant’s pleadings stating it was “an

agency of the City of Brownsville, Texas” held sufficient proof to support

plaintiff’s summary judgment on the issue of agency).

      Second, the Court disregarded the rule of construction governing the

mootness doctrine which state - Neither the Texas Constitution nor the Texas

Legislature has vested the Court with the authority to render advisory opinions. See

Tex. Const. art. II, _ I; see also Camarena v. Tex. Employment Comm'n, 754

S.W.2d 149, 151 (Tex. 1988). The mootness doctrine limits courts to deciding

cases in which an actual controversy exists between the parties. See, Fed. Deposit

Ins. Corp. v. Nueces County, 886 S.W.2d 766, 767 (Tex. 1994).

      Third the Court erred in the application of the nonsuit rule Tex. R. Civ. P.

162 to resolve this case. Nonsuit Rule states that a plaintiff has an absolute right to

take a nonsuit so long as the defendant has not made a claim for affirmative


                                           12
relief. Tex. R. Civ. P. 162; BHP Petroleum Co. Inc. v. Millard, 800 S.W.2d 838,

840–41 (Tex. 1990).

         Clearly nonsuit analysis is not applicable in this case because filing and

lifting a Lis Pendens all occurred at the county Recording Office before the

Appellee first filed her damage in Court as such it occurred before the Court

acquired jurisdiction over the subject matter, while filing and nonsuting a case

occur within the Court system, as such the Court would have acquired Jurisdiction

of both before the case is nonsuited. A case of Apple and Orange comparison.

         Also, if the Appellant filed and lifted the Lis Pendens, after the

Appellee/defendant has filed a lawsuit seeking an affirmative relief the case will

not be moot. But that was not what happened here.

         Finally, as general rule it well established that in Texas a decision to affirm

a lower court’s ruling in the Texas Court of appeal is by a three judge panel9. See

URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Courts_of_Appeals, citing the first

Court of Appeal of Texas. In this case Justice Radack obstructed Justice when

barred Diogu from obtaining and using the reporter’s record in his brief. The




9
  The Texas Courts of Appeals are part of the Texas judicial system. In Texas, all cases appealed from the district
level, both criminal and civil, may be heard by one of the fourteen Texas Courts of Appeals. ….The total number of
appellate justices in Texas is currently 80, and can range from three to thirteen for each court. Cases in appellate
courts are usually heard by a panel of three judges (even if there are more available). The exception to this is when
a case is heard en banc, when all of the justices hear the case.


                                                         13
reporter’s record would have shown that Diogu objected to the Bench trial for lack

of Notice and that he had not waived his right to jury trial.

      Because of Judge Radack’s conduct Diogu proceeded on his appeal without

the reporter’s record. The effect of that decision is evident on the outcome of this

appeal. In essence Diogu’s appeal was decided a by a three judge panel of One,

Judge Radack, in violation of Texas Rules of Appellate procedure.

                                   ARGUMENT

          THE PANEL’S ANALYSIS OF THE MOOTNESS
     DOCTRINE IGNORES THE FACT AND MISSTATES THE LAW
      The Panel’s approach to the mootness doctrine is flawed in three (3) aspects.

  1. JUDICIAL ADMISSION MADE BY THE APPELLEE IN HER LIVE
   PLEADING COMPELS THE COURT TO REHEAR, REVERSE AND
  REMAND THE CASE TO THE LOWER COURT FOR DISMISSAL AS
                          MOOT
      FIRST the panel ignored a powerful evidence – Appellee’s own live

pleading –“seeking an order to remove the Lis Pendens from the property records”

when there was no Lis Pendens in the Property record of Fort Bend County as such

she sought nonexistent affirmative relief.

      The Appellee’s clear, deliberate, and/or unequivocal statement contained in

her live pleading constitutes a judicial admission that she filed her pleading

believing that the Appellant had not lifted and/or expunged his Lis Pendens at the

time she sought monetary damages. The fact that the Appellee made this judicial

admission closes the door on the argument that the Appellee was seeking monetary
                                          14
damages against the Appellant for filing and/or lifting the Lis Pendens before she

filed her counterclaims as the panel in this case analyzed.

      It is well established that a judicial admission may be made in live pleadings

and judicial admission may also be made in a response to a motion or counter-

claim. See Horizon/CMS Healthcare Corp. v. Auld, 34 S.W.3d 887, 905 (Tex.

2000) (a judicial admission may be made in live pleadings); Holy Cross Church of

God in Christ v. Wolf, 44 S.W.3d 562, 568 (Tex. 2001) (a judicial admission may

also be made in a response to a motion or counter-motion). The judicial

admission, however, must be clear and unequivocal. See Holy Cross Church of

God in Christ, 44 S.W.3d at 568, which was the case here. A judicially admitted

fact is established as a matter of law, and the admitting party may not dispute it or

introduce evidence contrary to it. Bowen v. Robinson, 227 S.W.3 86, 92 (Tex.

App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2006, pet. denied). This rule is based on the public

policy that it would be absurd and manifestly unjust to permit a party to recover

after he has sworn himself out of court by a clear and unequivocal statement. Id.

      It is clear as a matter of law that Appellee sought an affirmative relief that

was not available to her because it did not exist at the time she requested it. See

also, Helena Lab. Corp. v. Snyder, 886 S.W.2d 767 (Tex. 1994).

      As such the Panel should rehear this case and reverse the lower court’s

judgment in its entirety because the Appellees case was solely based on a pending

 2. WHEN THE MOOTNESS DOCTRINE DISPOSES OF THE DISPUTE
    THAT SPURRED THE LAWSUIT, BEFORE THE CASE GOES TO
  COURT, THERE IS NO CASE OR CONTROVERSY AND THE CASE
 MUST BE DISMSSIED AS MOOT AND DAMAGE CLAIMS WILL NOT
                    BREATH LIVE TO IT

      SECOND, the Panel’s approach to mootness in this case was flawed because

it disregarded the rules governing the mootness doctrine. It must be remembered

that the time of bringing the complaint or intervening circumstances as it relates to

the dispute that spurred the lawsuit plays a criterial role in the mootness doctrine.

As a result of mootness the movant can be deprived of a "personal stake in the

outcome of the lawsuit," at any point during litigation and when that happens the

action can no longer proceed and must be dismissed as moot. Lewis v. Continental

Bank Corp., 494 U.S. 472, 477-478, 110 S.Ct. 1249, 108 L.Ed.2d 400 (1990)


      APPLICABLE TEXAS AND FEDERAL LAWS ON THE MOOTNESS
      DOCTRINE ARE IDENTICAL AND ANOLOGOUS BUT US
      SUPREME COURT CASES ARE MORE INSTRUCTIVE FOR THIS
      ANALYSIS
      It is well established that neither the Texas Constitution nor the Texas

Legislature has vested this Court with the authority to render advisory opinions.

See Tex. Const. art. II, _ I; Camarena v. Tex. Employment Comm'n, 754 S.W.2d

149, 151 (Tex. 1988). See also, Heckman v. Williamson Cnty., 369 S.W.3d 137,

162 (Tex. 2012). No justiciable controversy exists if the issues/dispute that spurred

                                          16
the lawsuit are no longer "live" or if the parties lack a legally cognizable interest in

the outcome. Heckman, 369 S.W.3d at 162.

      The mootness doctrine limits courts to deciding cases in which an actual

controversy exists.” F.D.I.C. v. Nueces County, 886 S.W.2d 766, 767 (Tex.1994)

(citing Camarena v. Tex. Employment Comm'n, 754 S.W.2d 149, 151

(Tex.1988)).    A controversy “must exist between the parties at every stage of the

legal proceedings, including the appeal.” Williams v. Lara, 52 S.W.3d 171, 184

(Tex.2001). The Texas Supreme Court has “recognized two exceptions to the

mootness doctrine:  (1) the ‘capable of repetition’ exception and (2) the ‘collateral

consequences' exception.” Nueces County, 886 S.W.2d at 767.

      The Tex. Const. art. II, _ I and U. S. Const., Art. III, §2 are essentially

identical or analogous so the U. S. Supreme Court case laws interpreting U. S.

Const., Art. III, §2) are instructive in this case. The US Supreme Court review in

Alvarez V. Smith, 558 U.S. 87, 93, 130 S.CT. 576, 175 L.ED.2D 447 (2009)) and

Genesis Healthcare Corp. v. Symczyk, 133 S. Ct. 1523, 569 U.S., 185 L. Ed. 2d

636 (2013) are eerily identical and analogues and are applicable to the Diogu case.

      447 (2009))
      In Alvarez v. Smith, 558 U.S. 87, 93, 130 S.Ct. 576, 175 L.Ed.2d 447

(2009)), the US Supreme granted certiorari in this case to determine whether

Illinois law provides a sufficiently speedy opportunity for an individual, whose car

                                           17
or cash police have seized without a warrant, to contest the lawfulness of the

seizure. Citing U. S. Const., Amdt. 14, §1; United States v. Von Neumann, 474 U.

S. 242 (1986); United States v. $8,850, 461 U. S. 555 (1983). At the time of oral

argument, however, The Supreme Court learned that the underlying property

disputes have all ended. The State has returned all the cars that it seized, and the

individual property owners have either forfeited any relevant cash or have

accepted as final the State's return of some of it. The Supreme Court consequently

found the case moot, and the Court therefore vacated the judgment of the Court of

Appeals and remand the case to that court with instructions to dismiss. Citing,

United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U. S. 36, 39 (1950).

      In Alvarez, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground

that Seventh Circuit precedent made clear that "the Constitution does not require

any procedure prior to the actual forfeiture proceeding." Citing Jones v. Takaki, 38

F. 3d 321, 324 (1994) (citing Von Neumann, supra, at 249). On February 22, 2007,

the District Court granted the motion to dismiss. It also denied the plaintiffs'

motion for class certification. The plaintiffs appealed.

      On May 2, 2008, the Seventh Circuit decided the appeal in the plaintiffs'

favor. Smith v. Chicago, 524 F. 3d 834. It reconsidered and departed from its

earlier precedent. Id., at 836-839. It held that "the procedures set out in" the

Illinois statute "show insufficient concern for the due process right of the


                                           18
plaintiffs." Id., at 838. And it added that, "given the length of time which can result

between the seizure of property and the opportunity for an owner to contest the

seizure under" Illinois law, "some sort of mechanism to test the validity of the

retention of the property is required." Ibid. The Court of Appeals reversed the

judgment of the District Court and remanded the case for further proceedings. Id.,

at 839. Its mandate issued about seven weeks thereafter.

      On February 23, 2009, we granted certiorari to review the Seventh Circuit's

"due process" determination. The Court of Appeals then recalled its mandate. The

parties filed briefs in this Court. We then recognized that the case might be moot,

and we asked the parties to address the question of mootness at the forthcoming

oral argument.

      At oral argument counsel for both sides confirmed that there was no longer

any dispute about ownership or possession of the relevant property. See Tr. of Oral

Arg. 5 (State's Attorney); id., at 56-57 (plaintiffs). The State had returned the cars

to plaintiffs Smith, Perez, and Brunston. See id., at 5. Two of the plaintiffs had

"defaulted," apparently conceding that the State could keep the cash. Ibid. And the

final plaintiff and the State's Attorney agreed that the plaintiff could keep some,

but not all, of the cash at issue. Id., at 5, 56-57. As counsel for the State's Attorney

told the Court, "[T]hose cases are over." Id., at 5

      The Alvarez Court reason that the Constitution permits this Court to decide


                                           19
legal questions only in the context of actual "Cases" or "Controversies." U. S.

Const., Art. III, §2. An "`actual controversy must be extant at all stages of review,

not merely at the time the complaint is filed.'" Citing, Preiser v. Newkirk, 422 U.

S. 395, 401 (1975) (quoting Steffel v. Thompson, 415 U. S. 452, 459, n. 10

(1974)). In unanimous decision the Alvarez court held that there is no longer any

actual controversy between the parties about ownership or possession of the

underlying property.

      The State's Attorney argues that there is a continuing controversy over

damages. The Supreme Court conceded that the plaintiffs filed a motion in the

District Court seeking damages. But the plaintiffs filed their motion after the

Seventh Circuit issued its opinion. And, after the Supreme Court granted

certiorari, the Court of Appeals recalled its mandate, taking the case away from

the District Court before the District Court could respond to the motion. Thus,

we have before us a complaint that seeks only declaratory and injunctive relief,

not damage. Alvarez v. Smith, 558 U.S. 87, 93, 130 S.Ct. 576, 175 L.Ed.2d 447

(2009))

      IN ALVAREZ V. SMITH, 558 U.S. 87, 93, 130 S.CT. 576, 175 L.ED.2D

447 (2009)) AS SHOWN VERBATIM FROM “#1” ABOVE,, the US Supreme

Court Held that no matter how vehemently the parties continue to dispute the

lawfulness of the conduct that precipitated the lawsuit, the case is moot if the


                                          20
dispute "is no longer embedded in any actual controversy about the plaintiffs'

particular legal rights." Alvarez, supra, at 93, 130 S.Ct. 576.

      Simply put, Ms. Aporn could not invoke the trial Court’s jurisdiction,

because the dispute (Lis Pendens) that spurred the lawsuit was moot before

she could file her affirmative relief in the Court.

      #2. GENESIS HEALTHCARE CORP. V. SYMCZYK, 133 S. CT. 1523,
      569 U.S., 185 L. ED. 2D 636 (2013)
      In Genesis Healthcare Corp. v. Symczyk, 133 S. Ct. 1523, 569 U.S., 185 L.

Ed. 2d 636 (2013) the US Supreme Court reviewed the Fair Labor Standards Act

of 1938 (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq., which provides that an employee may

bring an action to recover damages for specified violations of the Act on behalf of

himself and other "similarly situated" employees. The Court granted certiorari to

resolve whether such a case is justiciable when the lone plaintiff's individual claim

becomes moot. 567 U.S. ___, 133 S.Ct. 26, 183 L.Ed.2d 674 (2012). And held that

it is not justiciable. In reaching the question on which the Court granted certiorari,

the Court concluded that respondent has no personal interest in representing

                                          21
putative, unnamed claimants, nor any other continuing interest that would preserve

her suit from mootness. And Held that the suit was, therefore, appropriately

dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The judgment of the Court of

Appeals for the Third Circuit is reversed.

      The FLSA establishes federal minimum-wage, maximum-hour, and

overtime guarantees that cannot be modified by contract. Section 16(b) of the

FLSA, 52 Stat. 1060, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 216(b), gives employees the right

to bring a private cause of action on their own behalf and on behalf of "other

employees similarly situated" for specified violations of the FLSA. A suit brought

on behalf of other employees is known as a "collective action." See Hoffmann-La

Roche Inc. v. Sperling, 493 U.S. 165, 169-170, 110 S.Ct. 482, 107 L.Ed.2d 480

(1989).

      In 2009, respondent, who was formerly employed by petitioners as a

registered nurse at Pennypack Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, filed a

complaint on behalf of herself and "all other persons similarly situated." App. 115-

116. Respondent alleged that petitioners violated the FLSA by automatically

deducting 30 minutes of time worked per shift for meal breaks for certain

employees, even when the employees performed compensable work during those

breaks. Respondent, who remained the sole plaintiff throughout these proceedings,

sought statutory damages for the alleged violations.


                                         22
      When petitioners answered the complaint, they simultaneously served upon

respondent an offer of judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68. The

offer included $7,500 for alleged unpaid wages, in addition to "such reasonable

attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses ... as the Court may determine." Id., at 77.

Petitioners stipulated that if respondent did not accept the offer within 10 days

after service, the offer would be deemed withdrawn.

      After respondent failed to respond in the allotted time period, petitioners

filed a motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Petitioners argued

that because they offered respondent complete relief on her individual damages

claim, she no longer possessed a personal stake in the outcome of the suit,

rendering the action moot. Respondent objected, arguing that petitioners were

inappropriately attempting to "pick off" the named plaintiff before the collective-

action process could unfold. Id., at 91.

      The District Court found that it was undisputed that no other individuals had

joined respondent's suit and that the Rule 68 offer of judgment fully satisfied her

individual claim. It concluded that petitioners' Rule 68 offer of judgment mooted

respondent's suit, which it dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.

      The Court of Appeals reversed. 656 F.3d 189 (C.A.3 2011). The court

agreed that no other potential plaintiff had opted into the suit, that petitioners' offer

fully satisfied respondent's individual claim, and that, under its precedents,


                                           23
whether or not such an offer is accepted, it generally moots a plaintiff's claim. Id.,

at 195. But the court nevertheless held that respondent's collective action was not

moot. It explained that calculated attempts by some defendants to "pick off"

named plaintiffs with strategic Rule 68 offers before certification could short

circuit the process, and, thereby, frustrate the goals of collective actions. Id., at

196-198. The court determined that the case must be remanded in order to allow

respondent to seek "conditional certification"[1] in the District Court. If respondent

were successful, the District Court was to relate the certification motion back to

the date on which respondent filed her complaint. Ibid

      Article III, § 2, of the Constitution limits the jurisdiction of federal courts to

"Cases" and "Controversies," which restricts the authority of federal courts to

resolving "`the legal rights of litigants in actual controversies,'" Valley Forge

Christian College v. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Inc.,

454 U.S. 464, 471, 102 S.Ct. 752, 70 L.Ed.2d 700 (1982) (quoting Liverpool, New

York & Philadelphia S.S. Co. v. Commissioners of Emigration, 113 U.S. 33, 39, 5

S.Ct. 352, 28 L.Ed. 899 (1885)). In order to invoke federal-court jurisdiction, a

plaintiff must demonstrate that he possesses a legally cognizable interest, or

"`personal stake,'" in the outcome of the action. See Camreta v. Greene, 563 U.S.

___, ___, 131 S.Ct. 2020, 2028, 179 L.Ed.2d 1118 (2011) (quoting Summers v.

Earth Island Institute, 555 U.S. 488, 493, 129 S.Ct. 1142, 173 L.Ed.2d 1 (2009)).


                                           24
The This requirement ensures that the Federal Judiciary confines itself to its

constitutionally limited role of adjudicating actual and concrete disputes, the

resolutions of which have direct consequences on the parties involved.

      A corollary to this case-or-controversy requirement is that "`an actual

controversy must be extant at all stages of review, not merely at the time the

complaint is filed.'" Arizonans for Official English v. Arizona, 520 U.S. 43, 67,

117 S.Ct. 1055, 137 L.Ed.2d 170 (1997) (quoting Preiser v. Newkirk, 422 U.S.

395, 401, 95 S.Ct. 2330, 45 L.Ed.2d 272 (1975)). If an intervening circumstance

deprives the plaintiff of a "personal stake in the outcome of the lawsuit," at any

point during litigation, the action can no longer proceed and must be dismissed as

moot. Lewis v. Continental Bank Corp., 494 U.S. 472, 477-478, 110 S.Ct. 1249,

108 L.Ed.2d 400 (1990) (internal quotation marks omitted).

      In the proceedings below, both courts concluded that petitioners' Rule 68

offer afforded respondent complete relief on — and thus mooted — her FLSA

claim. See 656 F.3d, at 201; No. 09-5782, 2010 WL 2038676, *4 (E.D.Pa., May

19, 2010). Respondent now contends that these rulings were erroneous, because

petitioners' Rule 68 offer lapsed without entry of judgment. Brief for Respondent

12-16. The United States, as amicus curiae, similarly urges the Court to hold that

petitioners' unaccepted offer did not moot her FLSA claim and to affirm the Court

of Appeals on this basis. Brief for United States 10-15.


                                          25
      While the Courts of Appeals disagree whether an unaccepted offer that fully

satisfies a plaintiff's claim is sufficient to render the claim moot,[3] we do not reach

this question, or resolve the split, because the issue is not properly before us. The

Third Circuit clearly held in this case that respondent's individual claim was moot.

656 F.3d, at 201. Acceptance of respondent's argument to the contrary now would

alter the Court of Appeals' judgment, which is impermissible in the absence of a

cross-petition from respondent. See Northwest Airlines, Inc. v. County of Kent, 510

U.S. 355, 364, 114 S.Ct. 855, 127 L.Ed.2d 183 (1994); Trans World Airlines, Inc.

v. Thurston, 469 U.S. 111, 119, n. 14, 105 S.Ct. 613, 83 L.Ed.2d 523 (1985).

Moreover, even if the cross-petition rule did not apply, respondent's waiver of the

issue would still prevent us from reaching it. In the District Court, respondent

conceded that "[a]n offer of complete relief will generally moot the [plaintiff's]

claim, as at that point the plaintiff retains no personal interest in the outcome of the

litigation." App. 93; 2010 WL 2038676, at *4. Respondent made a similar

concession in her brief to the Court of Appeals, see App. 193, and failed to raise

the argument in her brief in opposition to the petition for certiorari. We, therefore,

assume, without deciding, that petitioners' Rule 68 offer mooted respondent's

individual claim. See Baldwin v. Reese, 541 U.S. 27, 34, 124 S.Ct. 1347, 158

L.Ed.2d 64 (2004).

      We turn, then, to the question whether respondent's action remained


                                           26
justiciable based on the collective-action allegations in her complaint. A

straightforward application of well-settled mootness principles compels our

answer. In the absence of any claimant's opting in, respondent's suit became moot

when her individual claim became moot, because she lacked any personal interest

in representing others in this action. While the FLSA authorizes an aggrieved

employee to bring an action on behalf of himself and "other employees similarly

situated," 29 U.S.C. § 216(b), the mere presence of collective-action allegations in

the complaint cannot save the suit from mootness once the individual claim is

satisfied.

       In order to avoid this outcome, respondent relies almost entirely upon cases

that arose in the context of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 class actions,

particularly United States Parole Comm'n v. Geraghty, 445 U.S. 388, 100 S.Ct.

1202, 63 L.Ed.2d 479 (1980); Deposit Guaranty Nat. Bank v. Roper, 445 U.S. 326,

100 S.Ct. 1166, 63 L.Ed.2d 427 (1980); and Sosna v. Iowa, 419 U.S. 393, 95 S.Ct.

553, 42 L.Ed.2d 532 (1975). But these cases are inapposite, both because Rule 23

actions are fundamentally different from collective actions under the FLSA, see

Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., 493 U.S., at 177-178, 110 S.Ct. 482 (SCALIA, J.,

dissenting), and because these cases are, by their own terms, inapplicable to these

facts. It follows that this action was appropriately dismissed as moot.

       Respondent contends that she has a sufficient personal stake in this case


                                         27
based on a statutorily created collective-action interest in representing other

similarly situated employees under § 216(b). Brief for Respondent 47-48. In

support of her argument, respondent cites our decision in Geraghty, which in turn

has its roots in Sosna. Neither case supports her position.

        In Sosna, the Court held that a class action is not rendered moot when the

named plaintiff's individual claim becomes moot after the class has been duly

certified. 419 U.S., at 399, 95 S.Ct. 553. The Court reasoned that when a district

court certifies a class, "the class of unnamed persons described in the certification

acquire[s] a legal status separate from the interest asserted by [the named

plaintiff]," with the result that a live controversy may continue to exist, even after

the claim of the named plaintiff becomes moot. Id., at 399-402, 95 S.Ct. 553.

Geraghty narrowly extended this principle to denials of class certification motions.

The Court held that where an action would have acquired the independent legal

status described in Sosna but for the district court's erroneous denial of class

certification, a corrected ruling on appeal "relates back" to the time of the

erroneous denial of the certification motion. 445 U.S., at 404, and n. 11, 100 S.Ct.

1202.

        The US Supreme court stated that Geraghty is inapposite, because the Court

explicitly limited its holding to cases in which the named plaintiff's claim remains

live at the time the district court denies class certification. See id., at 407, n. 11,


                                            28
100 S.Ct. 1202. Here, respondent had not yet moved for "conditional certification"

when her claim became moot, nor had the District Court anticipatorily ruled on

any such request. Her claim instead became moot prior to these events, foreclosing

any recourse to Geraghty. There is simply no certification decision to which

respondent's claim could have related back.

      More fundamentally, essential to our decisions in Sosna and Geraghty was

the fact that a putative class acquires an independent legal status once it is certified

under Rule 23. Under the FLSA, by contrast, "conditional certification" does not

produce a class with an independent legal status, or join additional parties to the

action. The sole consequence of conditional certification is the sending of court-

approved written notice to employees, see Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., supra, at 171-

172, 110 S.Ct. 482, who in turn become parties to a collective action only by filing

written consent with the court, § 216(b). So even if respondent were to secure a

conditional certification ruling on remand, nothing in that ruling would preserve

her suit from mootness.

      IN GENESIS HEALTHCARE CORP. V. SYMCZYK, 133 S. CT. 1523, 569

U.S., 185 L. ED. 2D 636 (2013), AS SHOWN VERBATIM FROM “#2” ABOVE,

the U. S. Supreme Court held essentially that her FLSA claim which is identical to

the TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 12.002 could not save the case from

becoming moot as such this panel erred by holding that the Aporn case was not

PAROLE COMM'N V. GERAGHTY, 445 U.S. 388, 100 S.CT. 1202, 63
L.ED.2D 479 (1980) IS FLAWED BECAUSE THE ANALYSIS AND THE
CASE RELIED ON ARE INAPPOSITE
      Third the Court erred in the application of the nonsuit rule Tex. R. Civ. P.

162. Nonsuit Rule states that a plaintiff has an absolute right to take a nonsuit so

long as the defendant has not made a claim for affirmative relief. Tex. R. Civ. P.

162; BHP Petroleum Co. Inc. v. Millard, 800 S.W.2d 838, 840–41 (Tex. 1990)

         In order to avoid this the above outcome, the Panel relies almost entirely

upon a case that arose in the context based on the Texas Citizen's Participation Act

(TCPA) which provides that court "shall" award to moving party costs, attorney's

fees, and other expenses as justice may require, and sanctions sufficient to deter the

bringing of similar legal actions). Particularly interesting in both the nonsuit rule

and TCPA both involved bringing a legal action first and then latter voluntarily

dismissing them. Another interesting caveat is that with the nonsuit rule, one can

bring a legal action and voluntarily dismiss it without consequence if at the time he

dismissed the defendant had made a affirmative claim of relief. As a point of

interest, all the activities the Court relied on occurred in the Courts – Judicial

branch. But the Diogu’s conduct of filing and lifting the Lis Pended occurred in the

executive branch.

      The panel’s reliance in James v. Calkins, 446 S.W.3d 135, 144 (Tex. App.—

Houston [1st Dist.] 2014, pet. filed) (plaintiff’s voluntary nonsuit did not moot

defendant’s claims for costs, fees, and sanctions) was inapposite TCPA claim

remains live at the time at the time it was nonsuited. As in Geraghty was

inapposite, because the Court explicitly limited its holding to cases in which the

named plaintiff's claim remains live at the time the district court denies class

certification. See id., at 407, n. 11, 100 S.Ct. 1202

      In Diogu v. Aporn, the Court’s Jurisdiction could not be invoked in the first

place and as such the controversy was not even live when Diogu lifted his Lis

Pendens at the Fort Bend County Recording Office.

      Lis Pendens provides a mechanism for putting the public on notice of certain

categories of litigation involving real property." Prappas v. Meyerland Cmty.

Improvement Ass'n, 795 S.W.2d 794, 795 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 1990,

writ denied); see also In re Miller, 433 S.W.3d 82, 84 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st

Dist.] 2014, orig. proceeding) ("A Lis Pendens is a notice of litigation, placed in

the real property records, asserting an interest in the property, and notifying third

parties that ownership of the property is disputed.")

      Once a Lis Pendens has been filed, the statute provides two routes for

removal of the Lis Pendens from the County Real Property Record: (a) expunction,

pursuant to section 12.0071 of the Property Code; and, (b) cancellation, pursuant to


                                           31
section 12.008 of the Property Code As a result, "courts have given a broad reading

to § 12.008, so as to grant an effective remedy." See Prappas v. Meyerland Cmty.

Improvement Ass’n, 795 S.W.2d 794, 798 (Tex. App.–Houston [14th Dist.] 1990,

writ denied). Once any of those two provision once exercised it operates as no Lis

Pendens was filed ab initio.


      JUSTICE RADACK’S CONDUCT CAUSED THE THREE JUDGE
      PANEL TO AFFIRM THE LOWER COURT’S JUDGMENT WHEN
      THEY OVERRULED DIOGU’S LACK OF NOTICE AND THE
      TRIAL COURT’S DENIAL OF HIS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL
      ISSUES BECAUSE OF A LACK OF REPORTER’S RECORD

             The three judge panel in this case failed to reach decisions on the

merit on at least two (2) of Diogu’s issues on appeal because of the obstruction

caused by Judge Radack. In essence those non decisions were made by a three

judge panel of one – Judge Radack in violation of the law. Because of this alone

the case must be reheard, remanded for the reporter’s record to be provided and

briefed.


      It is well established that appeals in Texas are normally decided by panels of

three judges working together. Additionally, judges do not participate in cases in

which their participation would constitute a conflict of interest or create an

appearance of impropriety. In such circumstances, the judge should recuse himself

or herself from the case.


                                          32
         It is also well established that even through a motion judge can rule on a

pending matter on appeal but if such ruling will affect the outcome of the Appeal

itself he/she will refer that issue to the full Court or a three judge panel for a

decision.

         That is not what happened here. In this Case, Judge Radack single handed

decided this appeal when she barred the appellant from using the reporter’s record

to prosecute his appeal and then the judge participated in the panel of three judges

that overruled two of Diogu’s issues because of the unavailability of the reporter’s

record that Judge Radack barred.. Go figure.

         Judge Radack10’s conduct here is analogous with the description of Lewis

"Scooter" Libby’s conduct before the federal grand jury, in that case by the famed

Federal Prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald in the obstruction of justice case against

Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Fitzgerald, stated that “what we have when someone

charges obstruction of justice, the umpire gets sand thrown in his eyes. He's trying

to figure what happened and somebody blocked their view. So what you were

saying is the harm in an obstruction investigation is it prevents us from making

the fine judgments we want to make”. See the Plame Investigation, (Washingpost,

Friday, October 28, 2005; 3:57 PM)

  Diogu is not accusing the Chief Justice of committing a crime, but that she unlawfully deprived him of his liberty
interest in his property by obstructing the three judge panel from deciding his case on the merit without due
process..

                                                         33
      In this case the three judge panel (the umpires) overruled Diogu Issues on

the Lack Of Notice Of Trial Setting and Denial Of Right To A Jury Trial because

of the sand thrown in their eyes by Justice Radack in her adverse ruling barring

Diogu from using the Court Reporter’s record in the appeal. Her ruling which

should have been made by a three judge panel, prevented this three Judge panel

from making the fine judgments they would have made.

      Therefore, but for the Sand that was thrown in their eyes by Judge Radack,

they would reversed and remanded the case. Because of Judge Radack’s conduct

Diogu proceeded on his appeal without the reporter’s record. The effect of that

decision is evident on the outcome of this appeal.

      In essence Diogu’s appeal was decided a by a three judge panel of One,

Judge Radack, in violation of Texas Rules of Appellate procedure and Texas

Constitution to the extent that it implicates the jury of one’s peer doctrine.

                          CONCLUSION AND PRAYER

      As shown above, Aporn’s counterclaims included: (1) claim for wrongful

filing of a notice of Lis Pendens on Aporn’s homestead property, see TEX. CIV.

PRAC. & REM. CODE § 12.002, seeking statutory damages in the form of actual

damages, court costs, attorneys’ fees and exemplary damages, (2) claim for

intentional infliction of emotional distress, caused by Diogu’s “intentional and/or

reckless conduct including . . . knowingly making and publishing false accusations


                                          34
that Ms. Aporn engaged in criminal activity . . . and falsely filed official public

documents without legal basis or justification encumbering Ms. Aporn’s

homestead property,” (3) request for declaratory judgment that filing of notice of

Lis Pendens was improper, and an order to remove the Lis Pendens from the

property records, and (3) request for sanctions and attorneys’ fees pursuant to

section 10.002 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code and Rule 13 of the

Texas Rules of Civil Procedure should be dismissed as moot.

      Also, the three judge panel decision to affirm the lower court’s judgment

included the lack of availability of the Reporter’s Record which was caused by

Justice Radack not referring the case to full court or the three judge panel. As a

result the three Judge panel from making the fine judgments they wanted to make.

      For the reasons set forth herein, Appellant prays this case be reheard,

considered En Banc reversed and remanded for a new trial; or in the alternative,

reversed and remanded for a dismissal with Prejudice and for such other relief as

he may show himself deserving at law or in equity.
