LAW OF THIS CASE

The accompanying Attachment "A" is incorporated by reference as though fully stated herein.

Petitioner May Prosecute A Writ Of Habeas Corpus To Inquire Into The Cause Of The

Restraint.

1. Application for a writ of habeas corpus shall be in writing signed and verified by the person

for whose relief it is intended or by someone acting in his behalf. [28 USC Sec. 2242]

2. Every person unlawfully committed, detained, confined or restrained of his liberty, under any

pretense whatever, may prosecute a writ ofhabeas corpus to inquire into the cause of such

imprisonment or restraint.

The writ of habeas corpus is a writ of right, and shall never be suspended. The Legislature shall

enact laws to render the remedy speedy and effectual. [The Texas Constitution Art. 1. Bill of

Rights Sec. 12.], The writ ofhabeas corpus is the remedy to be used when any person is

restrained in his liberty. [Code of Criminal Procedure Title 1. Code of Criminal Procedure Chap.

1. General Provisions Art. 1.08], [Code of Criminal Procedure Title 1. Code of Criminal

Procedure Chap. 11. Habeas Corpus], [Ex parte Rich, 194 S. W.3d 508,510], [Ex parte

Robinson, 641 S. W.2d 552, 553]

3. Availability of writ. Writ of habeas corpus is available to allow presentation of questions of

law that cannot otherwise be reviewed, or that are so important as to render ordinary procedure

inadequate and justify extraordinary remedy. [Ex parte Robbins, 360 S. W.3d 446, 458 (Tex.

Crim. App.20 11 ),

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 4 of27

4. Scope of Writ. The writ of habeas corpus is intended to be applicable to all such cases of

confinement and restraint, where there is no lawful right in the person exercising the power, or

where, though the power in fact exists, it is exercised in a manner or degree not sanctioned by

law. [Tex. CCP ChapllArt. 11.23]

Constructive Custody. The availability of the writ of habeas corpus does not depend on the

actual detention of petitioner in prison. It is also available where petitioner is constructively in

custody and subject to restraint [Tex. CCP Chap11Art. 11.21, 22,23] [Ex parte Canada, 754

S.W.2d 660,666 (Tex.Crim.App.1988)] [Ex parte Robinson, 641S. W.2d 552,553] (In re

Petersen(1958)51 Cal2d 177,181,331 P2d24).

5. This habeas corpus is prosecuted because the taking of the People into custody was without

due process. The respondent's court acted as a nisi prius court, except that the jurisdiction was

fraudulently acquired without David Kent McDade's volunteering or knowingly agreeing to the

proceeding. Gonzalez v. United States, 553 U.S. 242 (12 May 2008) ("If the parties consent")

(construing 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)).

6. The nisi prius court is in fact a nisi prius court falsa because respondent has taken unlawful

dominion of McDade so as to deprive him of his court. McDade should be immediately released

so that he may return to the jurisdiction of his own court.

7. McDade is subject to unlawful constructive custody and restraint. McDade is thus petitioning

for a writ of habeas corpus.

Restraint. By "restraint" is meant the kind of control which one person exercises over another,

not to confine him within certain limits, but to subject him to the general authority and power of

the person claiming such right. [Tex. CCP Chapl1Art. 11.22]

WRITOFHABEASCORPUS Page 5 of27

Because No Jurisdictional Basis For Custody Has Been Proffered Or Stated A Writ Of

Habeas Corpus Should Issue.

8. Broad Meaning of Jurisdiction on Habeas Corpus. For purposes of the writ of habeas corpus,

as for purposes of prohibition or certiorari, the term "jurisdiction" is not limited to its

fundamental meaning, and in such proceedings judicial acts may be restrained or annulled if they

are determined to be in excess of the court's powers as defined by constitutional provision,

statute, or rules developed by courts (In re Zerbe (1964) 60 Cal2d 666, 667-668, 36 CalRptr 286,

388 P2d 192).

9. The liberty of the People is restrained by the Custodians:

A. McDade is in constructive custody by color of the authority of the State of

Texas and/or the Custodians, and was committed for trial before some court

thereof; [28 USC 2241(c)(l)]

B. McDade is in custody in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United

States; [28 USC 2241(c) (3)]

10. Although the true cause of custody ofMcDade is unknown, McDade on information

believes that the claim or authority is under color of law in violation of the Constitutions for the

Republic of Texas and the United States of America. The true basis for jurisdiction by the

Custodians has never been proffered or stated. McDade, as one of the People, has never

knowingly or voluntarily agreed to such jurisdiction. McDade has disputed and disputes any

factual allegation that he has so agreed.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 6 of27

11. The jurisdictional facts leading up to the custody and restraint are unknown to the People.

The jurisdictional facts by which the Custodians presume to continue to deprive the People of his

court are unknown to the People.

12. The Peo~le, on information and belief, allege that the Custodians are funded in whole or in

part by the City of Austin. Thus motivated, they are acting, under color of law as contractual

agents of their principal, the City of Austin.

13. The Custodians do not state and the proceedings do not show any lawful authority or

jurisdictional facts enabling the Custodians to lawfully take dominion over a People of the

United States. Lacking such jurisdiction, their actions can only be under color of law, violating

due process, in order to execute their own private agendas, whatever they may be. Therefore a

writ of habeas corpus should issue.

A Writ of Habeas Corpus Is A Proper Remedy Because Custodians Have Engaged In

Prosecutorial Vindictiveness; Burden Is Upon Respondents To Rebut Presumption.

14. Petitioner as normally bearing burden of proving facts on which claim for relief is based, but

if possibility that increased or additional charges violating due process supporting charge of

prosecutorial vindictiveness is at issue, petitioner as only needing to demonstrate facts giving rise

to presumption of vindictiveness at which time, even on habeas corpus, burden shifts to people to

rebut presumption. In re Bower (1985) 38 Cal3d 865, 872, 215 CalRptr 267, 700 P2d 1269.

15. McDade is under the restraint of a court not of record. The proceedings came about as1a

result ofDeprivation of Rights under the Color of Law, Conspiracy Against Rights,

Conspiratorial Treason, Judicial Misconduct, Malicious Abuse of Legal Process, and

~TOFHABEASCORPUS Page 7 of27

Prosecutorial Vindictiveness. The following facts support the claim of the prosecutorial

vindictiveness:

I.

1. On or about the 8th day of October, 2014, at approximately 8:17am McDade was stopped

by a person identified as a "City of Austin Municipal "Police Officers."

2. The person(s) who seized, accosted, and unlawfully Aggravatedly Imprisoned McDade

have been identified only as "Officer Lee Knouse Badge # 5931" hereinafter, Knouse #

5931 and his "Supervisor" hereinafter Supervisor and "Second Officer" hereinafter known

as "Unknown Officer" (all hereinafter collectively "Infringers");

3. At the time qfthe "traffic/transportation stop," McDade was "arrested" which amounted to

McDade being seized, accosted, and unlawfully imprisoned by the Infringers upon the

initiation of the stop for the purpose of issuing Citation Number(s) 14092560,

14092561(Attachment B). This fact is attested to by the Infringers admittance of such at the

time of "traffic/transportation stop." McDade was forcibly issued Citation Number(s)

14092560, 14092561 under threat, duress, and coercion by the Infringers.

4. At the time of the ''traffic/transportation stop", and unlawful imprisonment McDade

requested to speak to Knouse # 5931 's Supervisor (name to be determined), during which

time another officer "Unknown Officer" arrived; when Knouse # 5931 's Supervisor

arrived McDade informed the Supervisor of the situation and the Supervisor and other

"Unknown Officer" all of the above identified officers took part in and allowed the

unlawful imprisonment to continue until forcibly issued Citation Nwnber(s) 14092560,

14092561 were completed.

5. At the time of the "traffic/transportation stop", and unlawful imprisonment McDade was

traveling viatically upon the public right-of-way in a private conveyance for his own

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 8 of27

private business and pleasure while utilizing due diligence and care to ensure that his

actions did not cause harm to other person(s) or property and no such harm had taken place.

6. McDade was not engaged in causing harm to any person, property, or thing, nor was

McDade providing the Infringers with any probable cause to believe that McDade was

engaging in any actions to cause harm to any person(s) or property, or thing but, McDade

was still stopped, seized, accosted, and unlawfully imprisoned by the Infringers without

any apparent probable cause to believe such activities were taking place.

7. McDade asserts that at the time of the "traffic/transportation stop" he was not causing harm

to any person or property or being violent in any way. McDade asserts that he is/was doing

nothing more than exercising a unalienable, substantive Right and Liberty to Travel freely

and unencumbered and the use of his private property for Private Travel.

8. The People believe that the Harassment, unlawful Aggravated Imprisonment, and the

issuing of the Citations absent any lawful jurisdiction; beginning the unlawful prosecution

and Deprivation of Rights under color of Law of McDade is the first sign of a vindictive

prosecution.

II.

9. On or about the 2"d of December 2014, Diane Montoya and Michelle Rich conspired

together absent any lawful jurisdiction and filed five false complaints (Attachment D)

against McDade.

10. The People believe that the issuing of the five false complaints absent any lawful

jurisdiction against McDade, furthering the unlawful prosecution of McDade, is the second

sign of a vindictive prosecution.

III.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 9 of27

11. On or about the 3rd of December 2014, prosecutor Mathew McCabe filed a motion for

Continuance and Mr. Mitchell B. Solomon absent any lawful jurisdiction issued an Order

granting the motion for Continuance (Attachment E) for jury trial, furthering the unlawful

prosecution of McDade.

12. The People believe that the _filing ofthe motion and the issuing of Order for Continuance

absent any lawful jurisdiction, furthering the unlawful prosecution of McDade is the Third

sign of a vindictive prosecution.

IV.

13. McDade received a traffic Citation Number(s) 14092560, 14092561 from the City of

Austin Police Dept., McDade filed documents in the Austin Municipal Court in answer to

said citation in the form of a Special Appearance Challenging Personal and Subject matter

Jurisdiction and Venue I motion to dismiss, a Declination to Plea and an Mfidavit of not

Engaged in Transportation (Attachment F), to show on the record that the court nor the

Counterdefendants had any lawful jurisdiction over the matter or McDade.

14. The court and or Counterdefendants do not have any proof of subject matter jurisdiction in

the form of fact, law, and evidence on the record that McDade was engaged in the

regulatible Commercial activity of Transportation, which the lack of vacates subject matter

jurisdiction. For the/them to prove subject matter jurisdiction they have to prove that the

statue gives them jurisdiction in this particular alleged offence and prove every element as

to what grants them jurisdiction over McDade. The Affidavit Not in Transportation asserts

conclusively that neither the court nor Counterdefendants has such fact, law, or evidence.

15. The Special Appearance/ motion to dismiss addresses both the lack of notice issue and the

lack of subject matter /evidence issue, so you can see the validity ofMcDade's challenge to

both instances of jurisdiction; and McDade's reason to decline to plea to a court lacking hot

only jurisdiction but also standing. At the present time the court and the Counterdefendants

are moving forward absent any lawful jurisdiction.

16. After filing papers in this matter Mrs. Sherry M. Statman, on or about the 11th ofNovember

2014 sent an order (Attachment E) to McDade in the mail addressing his filings in a rude

and threatening manner.

~TOFHABEASCORPUS Page 10 of27

17. Jurisdiction is not accomplished simply by physicality as presumed by Mrs. Sherry M.

Statman in her order; this assertion of jurisdiction just by physicality claim is just a judicial

avoidance tactic, to avoid on point the true lack of jurisdiction issue. McDade is quite sure

the arguments in the documents that McDade filed, properly and completely address the

critical issues.

18. Mrs. Sherry M. Statman apparently does not understand that a challenge to jurisdiction and

determination of jurisdiction is always a civil matter, that in and of itself is never criminal.

19. A special appearance to challenge jurisdiction of the court is proper until jurisdiction is

proven on the record, and as is well known even to McDade is the fact subject matter can

be challenged at any time even on appeal.

20. McDade realizes that just the fact of challenging jurisdiction does not negate its existence,

however when challenged in fact, law, and evidence the court is absolutely obligated to

stop all proceedings, meet the challenge with fact, law, and evidence on the record

conclusively and substantively before continuing.

21. The challenge is civil, once jurisdiction has been properly established in the record as due

process demands then and only then can the judge lawfully make the assertion that a

special appearance is no longer valid.

22. Mrs. Sherry M. Statman, especially as the presiding judge should be perfectly aware that

the moment that an individual makes a general appearance in-personam jurisdiction has

been waved, only by the making of a special appearance may a challenge to jurisdiction

including in-personam jurisdiction be maintained by the accused.

23. Mrs. Sherry M. Statman states in her Order (Attachment E) that there are no valid pretrial

actions or issues that have been raised. McDade did/does rebut and reject that

presumption/assertion with fact, law, and evidence on the record under oath. Another

attempt to deny the truth, facts, and evidence and in turn McDade's rights.

24. McDade has a different viewpoint; McDade believes that a challenge to jurisdiction is a

critically valid issue in any action, against him or anyone for that matter especially a

supposed criminal one.

25. McDade believes that instead of the issues In Mrs. Statman's Order being valid issues,

McDade believes they are just more judicial avoidance tactics and also a cunning way of

intimidating someone (witness tampering) who is raising extremely valid issues before the

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 11 of27

court; ones the court and Custodians must prove on the record before moving forward to

merits: which by the way McDade has never seen the court and Custodians do, they just

gloss over the necessary elements as if they are secondary in nature or as stated in the

order, one of physicality.

26. This is not the first time McDade has had this type of experience with Mrs. Sherry M.

Statman, McDade has included documents (Attachment G) including a transcript from an

earlier due process and substantive rights violation encounter on July 26th, 2012. .

27. In this encounter McDade had filed similar documents with the Austin Municipal Court on

an alleged traffic violation. On McDade's.second "visit" to the court McDade was brought

into an empty courtroom with only Mrs. Sherry M. Statman, the prosecutor, the clerk, and

the court reporter (private hearing).

28. McDade was immediately verbally abused and threatened by Mrs. Sherry M. Statman; it

was not a "hearing" as much as it was a verbal thrashing. No one else spoke once Mrs.

Sherry M. Statman started including the prosecutor, it was very much a one sided affair.

Then Mrs. Sherry M. Statman immediately left the courtroom, although she came quickly

back when she was told that McDade had a recorder and then verbally threatened McDade

again. This was before McDade really knew what was supposed to happen in a hearing,

along with being taken aback by Mrs. Sherry M. Statman's behavior; McDade was stunned

to the degree that McDade did not even object to the occurrence, although McDade knew at

the time his rights had been violated McDade was not learned enough to defend himself.

29. McDade believes that not only is this another instance of judicial misconduct, and of

witness tampering, by threat, duress, and coercion. McDade also believes it to be clearly a

case of Malicious Abuse of Legal Process.

30. Actually in this matter McDade is the one who is really and constructively being harmed.

The court and prosecution have a duty not to violate McDade's unalienable, substantive

Rights, they have breached that duty which is causing McDade immediate and direct haqn

by loss of Rights and Liberty, emotional distress, loss of financial. gain from time off work,

and time to prepare for this action against him plus costs.

31. The People believe that the issuing of an Order to set cases for trial without due process

and threatening McDade with sanctions per TRCP 1.052(e) absent any lawful jurisdiction

furthering the unlawful prosecution of McDade is the fourth sign of a vindictive

prosecution.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 12 of27

v.

32. On February 4th, 2015 McDade went to court to file a common law Counterclaim for

Trespass and Trespass on the Case in the Superior Court of Texas, (Attachment C)

concerning the traffic citation actions against McDade, and go to a pre-trial hearing.

33. McDade filed the Counterclaim and also a Writ of Prohibition (Attachment C) which

explicitly states in no uncertain terms that the Judiciary of the inferior court must not act

outside their magisterial capacity within the Superior Court. Then went to a scheduled

hearing on previously filed- motions in the action against him.

34. As stated in the Counterclaim, McDade filed suit against Mrs. Sherry M. Statman, "Officer

Knouse Badge # 5931 ," "Supervisor," and "Second Officer".

35. McDade verbally announced the presence of the Superior Court and that it was in session at

the beginning of the hearing.

36. McDade verbally accepted the oaths of all the officers of the court and bound them to it.

37. Mrs. Barbara L Garcia continued in the proceeding absent any lawful authority, committing

fraud upon the court.

38. The record shows that this court of record held a hearing on February 4, 2015 for the

purpose of considering Counterplaintiff's Motion for Discovery and Motion for Nature and

Cause.

Counterplaintiff was present in personam, and Counterdefendants, were absent.

39. The record shows (audio record, witness testimony, and Order of court) that the magistrate

did not conduct the hearing in accord~ce with the foundation rules of a court of record

(Law of Case, Page 2, Court of Record, Lines 3, 4). Instead, the magistrate conducted her

own court, without notice or concurrence of the parties, and without due process. Not

satisfied with the lawful rules of court, she imposed her own rules and at other points rules

of another jurisdiction foreign to this court.

40. Further, without proper authority, the magistrate stepped out of her function as a magistrate

and, by her actions and statements, figuratively assumed the cloak of a tribunal.

WRITOFHABEASCORPUS Page 13 of27

41. The genius of a court of record is not to be undermined. It is the birthright of every

American to settle issues in a court of record, if he so chooses.

42. Throughout the audio record, the record shows that the rules of the court were not

followed, that the magistrate attempted to function as a tribunal, and that the court was

ineffective in furthering the goal of justice for all. These failures to follow the prescribed

procedures are sufficiently disruptive to the goal of providing fair justice to the degree that

·the court finds it necessary to issue a writ of error quae coram nobis residant.

43. McDade verbally objected to every unlawful action of Mrs. Barbara L Garcia and Mrs.

Devin Rourke throughout the proceedings including but not limited to the presentment of

the false complaints and the unlawful Order.

44. When Mrs. Barbara L Garcia made a "Order" (Attachment E) at the hearing in the presence

of the Superior Court before witnesses she committed an act ofTreason by violating her

oath of office, Conspiracy Against Rights and Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law

by acting outside her lawful jurisdiction; Judicial Misconduct, by acting as a "judge" in a

Superior Court of Record and was in contempt of The Superior Court.

45. The Order McDade referred to in the previous paragraph was an Order to not allow any

motions except discovery, Mrs. Barbara L Garcia stated in the Order that all discovery was

handed over to McDade, which is not factual.

46. The Discovery motion requests multiple other pieces of evidence that Counterdefendants

did not provide, and of the one they did provide, the CD with the video of the "traffic stop" it is

missing the video or is defective.

47. McDade had also filed a motion for nature and cause, which is his substantive right,

Plaintiff only provided McOade with a copy of each of the complaints, a complaint is not nature

and cause in the form of an Information pursuant to the U.S Const. Amend. VI and Texas Const.

Art.l Sec. 10.

48. Mrs. Barbara L Garcia and the prosecutor Mrs. Devin Rourke worked in concert to

accomplish these felony acts of Conspiratorial Treason, Conspiracy against The Superior Court,

Conspiracy Against Rights, Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law, Judicial Misconduct,

Malicious Abuse of Legal Process, Fraud upon the Court, and Contempt all under the color of

law. [Title 18 USC. 241, 242]

49. Mrs. Barbara L Garcia and prosecutor Mrs. Devin Rourke failed to even so much as look at

McDade's filings or simply chose to ignore them, before committing these acts; they also failed

to object to any of McDade's filings on the record. As the record shows.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 14 of27

50. All these acts violating McDade's substantive rights and the law, under the color oflaw

including but not limited to due process were all perpetrated absent any lawful jurisdiction,

which the Counterdefendants and the court have lacked and have yet to prove with facts, law arid

evidence on the record, from the moment the "traffic stop" was initiated.

51. The People believe that the issuing of an Order to not allow any motions except discovery

in violation of due process absent any lawful jurisdiction, furthering the unlawful prosecution of

McDade is the fifth sign of a vindictive prosecution.

VI.

52. McDade went to court on March 2, 2015 to file a common law First Amended Action for

Trespass and Trespass on the Case in the Superior Court ofTexas(Attachment H), concerning

the traffic citation actions against McDade.

53. McDade filed the First Amended Action for Trespass and Trespass on the Case in the

Superior Court ofTexas and also a Writ of Error (Attachment H) March 6, 2015 which details

and rescinds the order of February 4, 2015 by Mrs. Barbara L. Garcia, the Writ of Error which

explicitly states in no uncertain terms that the Judiciary of the inferior court must not act outside

their magisterial capacity within the Superior Court.

54. On or about March 3, 2105 Mrs. Sherry M. Statman issued an order (Attachment E)

denying all motions and documents tendered by. McDade, violating McDade's Rights to due

process. And access to the court.

In other words, contrary to Sherer v. Cullen cited below, the court not of record effectively

sanctioned McDade for exercising a well-established right to challenge jurisdiction.

"There can be no sanction or penalty imposed upon one because of this exercise of

Constitutional rights." [Sherer v. Cullen, 481 F 946.]

55. The record shows (Order of the Court) (Attachment E) that the magistrate did not conduct a

hearing in accordance with the foundation rules of a court of record (Law of Case, Page 2, Court

of Record, Lines 3, 4). Instead, the magistrate conducted her own court, without notice or

- concurrence of the parties, and without due process. Not satisfied with the lawful rules of court,

she imposed her own rules and at other points rules of another jurisdiction foreign to this court.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 15 of27

56. Further, without proper authority, the magistrate stepped out of her function as a magistrate

and, by her actions, figuratively assumed the cloak of a tribunal.

57. The genius of a court of record is not to be undermined.

58. Through the record, the record shows that the rules of the court were not followed, that the

magistrate attempted to function as a tribunal, and that the court was ineffective in furthering the

goal of justice for all. These failures to follow the prescribed procedures are sufficiently

disruptive to the goal of providing fair justice.

59. The People believe that the (Order of the Court) denying all motions tendered by McDade

and further threatening of McDade through sanctions, furthering the unlawful prosecution of

McDade is the sixth sign of a vindictive prosecution.

VII.

60. On or about March 3, 2105, Prosecutor Matthew McCabe filed a Motion for Continuance

for jury trial, Mr. Stephen Vieorito Issued an Order granting the motion, the above mentioned

persons conspired together absent any lawful jurisdiction; furthering the unlawful prosecution,

perpetration of the aggravated unlawful imprisonment, and violation of McDade's substantive

Rights, and Liberties under the color of law.

61. The record shows (Order of the Court) (Attachment E) that the magistrate did not conduct a

hearing in accordance with the foundation rules of a court of record (Law of Case, Page 2, Court

of Record, Lines 3, 4 ). Instead, the magistrate conducted his own court, without notice or

concurrence of the parties, and without due process. Not satisfied with the lawful rules of court,

he imposed his own rules and at other points rules of another jurisdiction foreign to this court.

62. Further, without proper authority, the magistrate stepped out of his function as a magistrate

and, by his actions, figuratively assumed the cloak of a tribunal.

63. Through the record, the record shows that the rules of the court were not followed, that the

magistrate attempted to function as a tribunal, and that the court was ineffective in furthering the

goal of justice for all. These failures to follow the prescribed procedures are sufficiently

disruptive to the goal of providing fair justice.

64. The People believe that the Order granting the motion for continuance, furthering the

unlawful prosecution of McDade is the seventh sign of a vindictive prosecution.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 16 of27

VIII.

65. On December 2"d, 2014 a false complaint was generated by Affiant Diane Montoya in cause

number 8171201 on 12/2/14 in that it states that McDade refused to give his name to Officer Lee

Knouse. It was later dismissed then another complaint was generated, number 8260842.

66. A false complaint by Affiant Deshone Sauls was generated, in cause number 8260842 on

4/21115 in that it states that McDade gave a false Date of Birth to Officer Lee Knouse. It was

later dismissed then another complaint was generated number 8263463. (Attachment D)

67. A false complaint was generated by Affiant Ryan Zapata in cause number 8263463 on

4/27/2015 three days before trial in that it states that McDade refused to give his Date of Birth to

Officer Lee Knouse.

68. On April 30th, 2015 McDade was prosecuted under the original cause number 8171201 and

found guilty, having not been given a copy of the complaint number 8263463 until the day of

trial.

69. The People believe that the issuing of false complaints, dismissing the complaints and then

refiling the complaints without giving McDade proper and timely notice to reply to said

complaints is a due process violation and Conspiracy Against Rights, and Deprivation of Rights

under the Color of Law; furthering the unlawful prosecution of McDade is the eighth sign of a

vindictive prosecution.

IX.

70. Actions by Mr. Stephen T.Vigorito and Prosecutor Robert Davis are detailed as follows:

71. On or about April 30th, 2015 the above mentioned persons conspired together absent any

lawful jurisdiction; and then and there Mr. Stephen Vieorito and Prosecutor Robert Davis held a

trial in the presence ofMcDade, furthering the perpetration of the aggravated unlawful

imprisonment, unlawful prosecution, and violation of McDade's substantive Rights, and

Liberties under the color of law.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 17 of27

72. The record shows (Order of court) (Attachment E) that the magistrate did not conduct a

hearing in accordance with the foundation rules of a court of record (Law of Case, Page 2, Court

of Record, Lines 3, 4). Instead, the magistrate conducted his own court, without notice or

concurrence of the parties, and without due process. Not satisfied with the lawful rules of court,

he imposed his own rules and at other points rules of another jurisdiction foreign to this court.

73. Further, without proper authority, the magistrate stepped out ofhis function as a magistrate

and, by his actions, figuratively assumed the cloak of a tribunal.

74. Through the record, the record shows that the rules of the court were not followed, that the

magistrate attempted to function as a tribunal, and that the court was ineffective in furthering the

goal of justice for all. These failures to follow the prescribed procedures are sufficiently

disruptive to the goal of providing fair justice.

75. The People believe that the continuing Prosecution, Order granting the motion in L~e,

the Order and Adjudgement of Guilty, and Ord~r to Pay Fines, absent any lawful jurisdiction,

furthering the Conspiracy Against Rights and Deprivation of Rights under the Color of Law is

the ninth sign of a vindictive prosecution.

76. Briefly, the above events are summarized here:

EVENT 1. Unlawful traffic stop, no probable cause.

EVENT 2. Police harassment, unlawful imprisonment.

EVENT 3. Issuance of jurisdictionally baseless traffic citations.

EVENT 4. Filing of jurisdictionally baseless complaints.

EVENT 5. The Ignoring of all challenges to jurisdiction.

EVENT 6. Issuance of jurisdictionally baseless, threatening court order invalidating all

pretrial motions and to set cases for trial with no prior hearing.

EVENT 7. The ignoring of the filing and existence of McDade's common law

Counterclaim challenging jurisdiction.

EVENT 8. Issuance of jurisdictionally baseless, court order to not allow any motions

except discovery.

EVENT 9. The ignoring ofthe filing and existence of McDade's common law First

Amended Action challenging jurisdiction

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 18 of27

EVENT 10. Issuance of jurisdictionally baseless, threatening court order denying all

pretrial motions and documents .

EVENT 11. The STATE'S dismissal and reissuing of charges to prevent McDade proper

due process.

EVENT 12. The continuation of prosecution absent any lawful jurisdiction.

EVENT 13. State's motion in Limine and granting of motion to prevent McDade from

bringing up prior jurisdictional objections at trial.

EVENT 14. The entering of"Guilty Pleas" against the objection of McDade.

EVENT 15. The false statement that McDade entered a plea of guilty contained in

judgement.

EVENT 17. Issuance of jurisdictionally baseless, court order and adjudgement of guilty.

EVENT 18. Issuance of jurisdictionally baseless, court order to pay fines.

77. Any one of the nine plus signs and 18 Events of vindictive prosecution, when taken singly

are not necessarily significant. Together, they evince a pattern that can only be the signature of a

vindictive prosecution.

78. The Custodians do not state and the proceedings do not show any lawful authority or

jurisdictional facts enabling the Custodians to lawfully take dominion over a People of the

United States. Lacking such jurisdiction, their actions can only be under color of law, violating

due process, in order to execute their own private agendas, whatever they may be (perhaps

barratry, i.e. the offense of frequently exciting and stirring up quarrels and suits, either at law or

otherwise). They are vindictive:

"Vindictive ... intended to cause anguish or hurt: Spiteful"

~TOFHABEASCORPUS Page 19 of27

[see Internet Merriam Webster Dictionary at

www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=vindictive ].

79. If, in their returns, the Custodians fail to prove the absence of vindictiveness, and proof of

Jurisdiction then the Custodians must release jurisdiction and custody of McDade back to the

jurisdiction of his own court. And the court should so order.

A Writ Of Habeas Corpus Is A Proper Remedy If Petitioner Has Reasonable Apprehension Of

Restraint Of Liberty.

80. Constraint by Reasonable Apprehension of Force. To justify issuance of the writ of habeas

corpus, constraint need not consist of actual physical force. Conduct inducing a reasonable

apprehension of force may be sufficient to restrain one ofhislher liberty (In re Rider (1920) 50

CalApp 797, 802, 195 P. 965).

81. McDade has a reasonable apprehension that the Custodians will exercise force to deprive or

restrain his liberty because by orders of the court not of record he has been required to

involuntarily appear in said court's proceedings, and has been restricted in his freedom; all

contrary to the people's denial of jurisdiction.

82. Further, when McDade demonstrated good faith in his appearances, he was still restricted

in his freedom.

83. Because of Custodians' history of abuse, a writ of habeas corpus is a proper remedy to

ensure that McDade is released to the jurisdiction of his own court.

84. "Henceforth the writ which is called Praecipe shall not be served on any one for any

holding so as to cause a free man to lose his court." Magna Carta, Article 34.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 20 of27

85. "No person shall be ... deprived oflife, liberty, or property, without due process oflaw."

U.S. Constitution, Amendment V.

86. In this matter McDade is a People of the United States. As such, without due process the

respondents have caused McDade to lose his court.

87. "No officer can acquire jurisdiction by deciding he has it. The officer, whether judicial or

ministerial, decides at his own peril. "Middleton v. Low (1866), 30 C. 596, citing Prosser v.

Secor (1849), 5 Barb.(N.Y) 607, 608.

88. Rhetorically, the question could be asked, "Is it an act of treason when a public official

takes unlawful dominion over the sovereign People of the United States? Could such state

officials be prosecuted under 18 USC 241and 242 which makes it a federal crime to deprive or

conspire to deprive, under color oflaw, any person of his rights.[ State officers may be held

personally liable for damages under 1983 based upon actions taken in their official capacities.

HAFER v. MELO, 502 U.S. 21 (1991) 502 U.S. 21]

89. In this case, strict compliance with the procedure was not followed. A necessary element is

that McDade must voluntarily and knowingly agree to any proceeding outside of the penumbra

of a court of record. McDade neither volunteered nor knowingly agreed to what must

necessarily be a strict nisi prius procedure. The element of due process is missing. Therefor a

writ ofhabeas corpus should issue.

The STATE May Not Diminish The Sovereign Rights Of David Kent McDade.

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Page 21 of27

90. It is the design of our systems of jurisprudence that courts have no jurisdiction until a party

comes forth and declares a cause needing resolution. The particular jurisdiction depends upon

how the cause is declared by the moving party. Jurisdiction may be administrative, at law, in

equity, or in any of many other formats. In this habeas corpus proceeding the jurisdiction is at

law in a court of record under the sovereign_ authority of one of the People.

91. It is essential to understand what are a sovereign, a magistrate, a court, and a court of

record.

92. A court is "The person and suit of the sovereign."NOTE-I Who is the sovereign? It is the

people either in pluralNOTE-2 or in singular capacity.NOTE-J In singular capacity, it is McDade, one

of the People as contemplated in the preambles ofthe Constitution for the Republic of Texas,

and the 1789 Constitution for the United States of America. In singular capacity, it is also

McDade.

93. The State of Texas and the United States of America have no general sovereignty. Theirs

is a clipped sovereignty. Whatever sovereignty they have is limited to their respective

constitutionally defined spheres of control. The general sovereignty is reserved to the people

without diminishment.NOTE-4 Lest that be forgotten, the analogous California Government Code

twice admonishes the public servants that, "The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty

to the agencies which serve them. ,NOTE-s Further, when the State of California did attempt to

diminish one's rights, it was affirmed that the state cannot diminish rights of the people.NOTE-6

Further, Amendments IX and X of the Constitution for the United States of America and Art. 1

Sec. 2 of the Texas Constitution admonishes the federal and state governments of their clipped

sovereignty subservient to the full sovereignty reserved without diminishment to the People.NOTE-

IO

WRITOFHABEASCORPUS Page 22 of27

94. It is by the prerogative of the sovereignNOTE-7 whether and how a court is authorized to

proceed. In this case, the chosen form of this court is that of a court of record.

95. A qualifying feature of a court of record is that the tribunal is independent of the magistrate

appointed to conduct the proceedings.NOTE-s

96. The magistrate is a person appointed or elected to perform ministerial service in a court of

record. NOTE-9 His service is ministerial because all judicial functions in a court of record are

reserved to the tribunal, and, by definition of a court of record, that tribunal must be independent

of the magistrate. The non-judicial functions are assigned by the court of record and are

"ministerial" because they are absolute, certain and imperative, involving merely execution of

specific duties arising from fixed and designated facts.

97. Because the state has no jurisdiction over McDade, and because the magistrate has no

tribunal function, and because McDade has not voluntarily and knowingly granted any

jurisdiction to the state, it follows that the state has no jurisdiction over McDade. Therefore, the

STATE must cease its taking into involuntary custody the person ofMcDade, one ofthe people.

As a matter of right, McDade should be immediately released back to the jurisdiction of his own

court.

11. RIGHTS OF TRAVEL

12.

13. In England in 1215, the right of life, liberty, property, and the express right of travel were

enshrined in Article 42 of Magna Carta to ensure that King John knew without qualification

14. where the authority to prevent the exercise of those rights was to be constrained:

15.

"It shall be lawful to any person, for the future, to go out of our kingdom, and to return, safely

16. and securely, by land or by water, saving his allegiance to us, unless it be in time of war, for some

short space, for the common good of the kingdom: excepting prisoners and outlaws, according to

17. the laws of the land, and of the people of the nation at war against us, and Merchants who shall be

treated as it is said above."

18.

This right was carried forward in the Constitution for the United States within the Bill of Rights.

19.

This Court long ago recognized that the nature of our Federal Union and our constitutional

20. concepts of personal liberty unite to require that all citizens be free to travel throughout the

length and breadth of our land uninhibited by statutes, rules, or regulations which unreasonably

21.

burden or restrict this movement. It suffices that, as MR. JUSTICE STEWART said for the

22. Court in United States v. Guest, 383 U.S. 745 (1966)]

21. to four barons of the aforesaid twenty five: those four

barons shall come to us, or, if we are abroad, to our

non-Indian's conduct or continued presence on the reservation. The Tribe's role as commercia

20. partner with petitioners should not be confused with its role as sovereign. It is one thing to fm

that the Tribe has agreed to sell the right to use the land and take valuable minerals from it, an

21.

quite another to fmd that the Tribe has abandoned its sovereign powers simply because it has no

22. expressly reserved them through a contract. To presume that a sovereign forever waives the righ

to exercise one of its powers unless it expressly reserves the right to exercise that power in

8. SUPERIOR COURT

9.

Origin of the term "superior court"

10.

In common law systems, a superior court is a court of general competence which typically has

11.

unlimited jurisdiction with regard to civil and criminal legal cases. A superior court is "superior"

12. relative to a court with limited jurisdiction, which is restricted to civil cases involving monetary

amounts with a specific limit, or criminal cases involving offenses of a less serious nature. A

13. superior court may hear appeals from lower courts.

14. The term "superior court" has its origins in the English court system. The royal courts were the

highest courts in the country, with what would now be termed supervisory jurisdiction over

15.

baronial and local courts. Decisions of those courts could be reviewed by the royal courts, as part

16. of the Crown's role as the ultimate fountain of justice. The royal courts became known as the

"superior courts", while lower courts whose decisions could be reviewed by the royal courts

17. became known as "inferior courts". The decisions of the superior courts were not reviewable or

appealable, unless an appeal was created by statute.

18.

To constitute a court a superior court as to any class of action within the common- law meaning

19.

of that term; its jurisdiction of such actions must be unconditional, so that the only thing requisite

20. to enable the court to take cognizance of them is the acquisition of jurisdiction of the persons of

the parties. Simons v. De Bare, 4 Bosw., N.Y.

21.

A statutory or constitutional court (whether it be an appellate or supreme court) may not second

22.

guess the judgment of a common law court of record. The Supreme Court of the USA

23. acknowledges the common law as supreme: "The judgment of a court of record whose

jurisdiction is final, is as conclusive on all the world as the judgment of this court would be. It is

24.

as conclusive on this court as it is on other courts. It puts an end to inquiry concerning the fact,

25. by deciding it." Ex parte Watkins, 3 Pet., at 202-203. [cited by SCHNECKLOTH v.

BUSTAMONTE, 412 U.S. 218,255 (1973)]

26.

"Henceforth the writ which is called Praecipe shall not be served on any one for any holding so

27.

as to cause a free man to lose his court." [Magna Carta, Article 34].
