STATEMENT OF THE CASE
The core of this case involve a minority African Indian American Citizen
born cripple, disable now, now in a State of Texas prison. Assaulted, Rarrassed
and Retaliated against by. person's working under color of state Law in the south
Unreasonable excessive force placed Ptetioner in fear of causing serious body
harm to his person by corporal punishment. The defendants denial of Access to
Court and Conspired to deny Medical treatement some 21 days after causing
permanment serious bodily injury.
On the 04th of October 2012, thereby having an official Administration
pass for the Law Library from 7:00 to 9:00am presented pass to Ms. C. Moore and
signed the Log, as she inspected my legal material for contraband (le. weapons
phones, drugs, or money). In retaliation for filing a greivance that her
befriended in the Greivance Department would not process that filed another that
caused her to get fired- See Intial dis. p. 60,61 Grievance 2012196172 on
7/13/2012 T. McCullough did not process had to file grievance on her. And the
retalation for filine complaint on the condition of confinement (ie unreasonable
visual cavity search). Ms. Moore claimed that a scratch piece of paper that
had x,o. from a domino game was contraband and to leave the Law library, which
I refused. Legal material is confidential and can not be subjected to unreasonable search by reading without prior written Authorization from the Warden
befor&legal material can be read- TDCJ policy 1-185-186, See Also Ruiz v.
Estella, 666 F2d. 854,871.; See (Inital. Discl. p.65) a scratch paper that had
x and o, non threaten non-dangerous peice of paper.
When Waddleton stated
that Ms. Moore cannot run this Law Library making her own rules, that must be
removed from her position, that her acts violate Federal law and TDCJ Polict.
She made a false allegation that he threaten her to justifiy calling ICS which
I did not.
'A
'p
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Having done nothing wrong and TDCJ Policy supersede an order by an officer, but
being a control freek, Abuse of office, irrational and overbearing. When Lt.
Rodriguez arrived at the Law Library was sitting down at my assigned table doing
my research, which was Authorized to be in such place, explained to her and
showed the peice of paper that Ms. Moore was going berserk over. She then
asked me to leave with and we proceeded to leave and then thats when Ms. Moore
claimed that I'd threaten her and at that point almost out the door was ordered
to be placed in cuffs, which I did without any aggression or resistance. Was
ordered to turn around for cuffs, stated that I've got a front handcuff pass
See (Supp. Discl. p 563, 6-26/12 x 6 months) presented it to Sgt. Salinas, she
readed it gave it back and placed the handcuffs on. In the process had set my
Legal Material on a table or kart, the other Olufola, Olugenga tryed to force
me to leave it, and applied pressure to prevent me from getting it, Sgt. Salines
ordered his to get it. In requesting that they gi'ze me my Legal property that
they had no right to confiscate, so we stopped at 12 Building gate until they
gave my legal material, which they did.
When Lt. Rodriguez ordered them to place me on the wall which had nothing
to do with proceeding to the door of 11 building other than a malicious, sadistically and wanton act to cause me harm. Rodriguez and Salines placed there
hand on my back and started pushing force to walk faster to ram my head into
the wall. For fear of failing and stracking my head on the wall turned and
put my back against the wall, hands down holding my Legal material under my arm
and hands cuff holding my cane. She then ordered the 10 or so -officers :to
slam me to the ground. Those group of officers attacked me jumping on my back
lick a pack of wild dogs. As we fell I roiled to keep them from falling on me.
This is not shown on the DV]). Once on the ground Sgt. Salines was sitting on
my shoulder which caused injury also.
tip
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
In a effort to conspire to cover injurys Lt. Rodriguez only took pictures
of my face and Nurse Roell just looked through the door which had plexglass and
mostly covered with steel. Then after sending a sick call about the injuries
and Medication that wasdestoryed, P.A. C. Hudson refuse to exmine the injuries
from the U.O.F. and only refile the Medication. See (Supp-Disclo. p. 635).
Lt. B. Rodriguez continue malicious, sadisitically and wanton acts continue
again once housed on 12 building- After she threaten U.O.F. of use of five (5)
man team for not submitting to handcuffs behind my back -for cell search. Pass
didnot expire until 1/26/13, See (Supp. Discl. p. 563). Because 11 and 12
building on the McConnell Unit where most deaths of inmates occur, knew at
that point.., my life was at risk. With each filing by the Defendants and
the Court has added a twist to the facts without any referance to where that
information can be found.
WITHOUT A JURY TRIAL TO CROSS EXAMINE THE DV)), DEFENDANTS, WITNESS AND PRESENT
OTHER EVIDENCE AS TO DETERMINE HOW THE FORCE WAS APPLIED WOULD VIOLATE THE
RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL AND CONFRONTATION CLAUSE OF THE SIXTH AMENDMENT:
5.
REASONS FOR GRANTING THE PETITION
To prevent the Abuse of Court discreation by the District court and Circuit
Appeals court at Summary judgment stage without a trial to cross-examine the
Defendants credibility determinations of the weight of the evidence andthe
drawing of léitimate inferences from the facts are jury functions, not those
of a judge. Whether force was applied in good faith or malicious and sadistically
are for the jury.
The District court dismissal was based on that the defendants were entitle
to qualified immunity.
Qualified immunity shall be granted when on the ground that a purported
right was not clearly established by prior case law. Pearson v. Callahan,
555 U.S. 223,236, 129 S.Ct. 808, (2009); Camereta v- Greene, 563
U.S.
131 S.Ct. 2020, (2011); The right allegedly violated must be
clearly established not as a broad general proposition. Reichie v. Howards,
566 U.S. 658, 132 S.Ct. 2088, (2012); Brosseau v. Haugen, 543 U.S.
194,198, 125 5.Ct. 596, (2004); That every reasonable offical would
[have understood] that what he is doing violates that right. Ashcroft v.
al-Kidd 563 U.S.131 2074, (2011) QUOTING Anderson v. Creighton,
483
U.S. 635, 640, 107 S.Ct. 3034 (1987);
The right of prisoner's from excessive force that cause injury, see Wilkins
v. Gaddy, 130 S.Ct. 1175.1176 (2010): has substain Fhjdson v, McMill-
ians, 503 U.S. 1,4, 112 S.Ct- 995, (1992) That the use of excessive
force against a prisoner may constitute cruel and unusaly punishment [even]
when the inmate does not suffer serious injury. Then when handcuff are used
to cause injury by being too tight or for long periods ofrtime has clearly
been established. Hope v. Pelzer, 536 u.S. 730, 122 S.Ct. 2508 (2002):
142
Inmate was subjected to cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the
eighth amendment when prison guards handcuffed him to hitching post for disruptive behavior, despite having him already been subdued; In Glenn v. City of
Tyler, 242 F3d 307,314; Held that handcuffing too tightly, without more
does not amount to excessive force. AccordlyCrusly v. City of St. Paul
324 F3d 1003,1038; reaffirming a prior holding requiring medical records
establishing permanent injury before allowing the application of handcuff to
give rise to an excessive force claim. See also Tarver v. City of Edna,
401 F3d 745 (5th Cir. 2005) at 752; Mr. Naddleton suffered injury
to his right shoulder, both wrist, and both ankles, and back when security
staff an already handcuffed disable prisoner. Slammed him to the ground then
piled on top of him, some siting on top on his side. Picked him up by the cuffs
and leg restrains and placed on the gurney, applied unnessary pressure on the
handcuffs and leg shakles to the point the cuffs cut into his skin and has
caused permanent nerve damage, broken viens that has caused circulation problems.
See (Supp. Disci. p. 274-75) Clinic Notes from 10/25/12 by Echavarry Erick Pa.
Post U.O.F. report cuts bruses, Nerve extremely pain; (Supp. Disci. p. 271-73)
11/13/12 MD Theresa, Whitt in pain, hands loss senation in both index fingers
neuropathy affecting bilateral index finger; (Supp Disclo. p. 254-55). On
the 3/13/13 by MD. T. Whitt U.O.F. numbness peroneal nerve, Hypersensitivity:
of lateral foot and ankles. Due to the 25 minutes or so that the cuffs were
to tight that has caused damage to the blood veins, Hematone around the area
cuffs around my ankles, caused circulation problems after almost 6 years.
Reaffirming a prior holding requiring Medical records establishing permanent
injury before allowing the application of handcuffs to give rise to an
excessive force claim. Cruiley v City of St. Paul 324, F3d 1008;
Tarverv. City of Edna, 410 F3d 752;
7.
In the qualified immunity context at summary judgment the court engage in
a two pronged inquire. (1). The facts taken in the light most favorable to the
party show- that the officer conduct violated a Federal right. Saucier v- Katez,
533 U.S. 194,201. Excessive force during an investigation or arrest, the
Federal right at issue is the Fourth right against unreasonable seizures.
Under a prisoner it's an Eighth amendment right. Graham V. Connor, 490 U.S.
386,394; Hope v. Pelzer 536 U.S. 733,739, 122 S.Ct. 2508 (2002).
The second prong of the qualified immunity analysis asks whether the right in
question was clearly established at the time of the violation. Government actors
are sheilded from liability for civil damages, if their actions did not violate
clear established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable
person would have know. Courts have discretion to decide the order in which to
engage those two prongs. Parson v. Callahan, 555 U.S. 223,236; But
under either prong courts may not resolve geninue disputes of facts in favor of
the party seeking summary judgment.
The standard for granting summary judgment 'mirriors the standard for '
-
judgment as a matter of law, court should review all the evidence inthe record
it may not not make creditable determination or weigh the evidence. Anderson
v. Liberty Lobby Inc, 477 U.S. 242 250-1, 106, S.Ct. 2505, (1986).
When opposing parties tell two different stories, one of which is blatanity
contracticted by the record, so that no reasonable jury could believe it a court
should not adopt that version of the facts for purposeâ of ruling on a Motion
for summary judgment. Scott v. Harris, sso U.S. 372, 127 S.Ct. 1769
(2007). Credibility determinations, the weighing of the evidence and
the drawing of legitimate inferences from thefacts are the jury functions, not
those of a judge . Id Liberty Lobby Supra at 255.
up
Written deposition subject to cross-exmination was not admissible because
witness was availiable. Motes v. U . S. 178 U.S. 458,467, 470-71, 20
S.Ct. 993 (1900). The D.V.D. that the defendants provided has omitted the
parts which show there unlawful acts of Bad Faith, and the editing by adding
parts to another Use of Force other than the plaintiff- The D.V.D. does not
show completely what occured nor the actual time that the cuffs cutting into
my ankles and wrist causing permanet damage. in Melendez Diaz v. Massachusetts, 557 U.S. 305, 129 S.Ct. 2527, (2009), held -that at drug trial,
of Affidavits of state Laboratory analysis who did not testify at trial held
to violate accused right under sixth amendment to confront witness against him
because affidavits were testimonial. Mr. Waddleton has the right to confront
the individdal that made the DYD and to show at trial the parts omitted andded
that the D.V.D. has been editied altered to cover the liability actions of
the Defendants. The Plaintiff was sitting at his assigned table and had
requested a Superviosor to settle the dispute about the peice of paper that
had o and x see (Inti. Discl. p. 56) As in Brown V. Lippard, 472 F3d 384
386, (2006) A brief exchange ensued in which Lippard indicated Brown's rec
privilieges were denied. Brown beliving Lippard was set on harrassing him
asked to speak with a superior Officer and sat down to wait for one to arrive.
See also Gomez v. Chandler 163 F3d 921 (5th Cir. 1999).
The Turner v. Safley, 482 U.S. 78,59, 107 5.Ct. 2254, Comes to
the S-Ct after a full trial and the Court's opinion in that case relied
heavely on testimony elicted at trial in evaluating the reasonableness of the
regulation. Also Overton v. Bazzetta, 539 U.S. 126,133, 123 S.Ct
2162, (2003). The right to cross-examine the individual that made the DVD
ensur[e] the integrity of the fact-finding process. Kentucky

,
482 U.S 730
On the 12th of November 2015, the Defendants filed a Motion for Summary
Judgment. And on the 11/19/15 mailed on thel2/03/15 sent notice of another
copy of the DVD that was sent to me on Nov. 10. 2015. However, I did not
receive the notice until 12/08/15 and viewed the DVD on the 12/10/15 the day
I'd mailed my repy. Nowithstanding, having view two other different ThTD in
July, now the Defendants present two more different DVD which still donot
show the complete incident. That in itself should give pause as to reasonable
doubt that the defendants have tampered with evidence. See Exhibit I. As long
as the Courts and Prosecutor condone the assault and killing of citizen, people
in the U.S.A simply because they are Public Servants or Peace Officers, then
You'll have only given them a liecense to kill and assault.
The D.V.D. does not show Mr. Waddleton sitting at his table doing his
research when Lt. Rodriguez arriveed, nor the Officers pushing him at a fast
paean towards the wall , which had nothing to do with going to 11 or 12
Building, where officers once isolated and handcuff assault and Kill Offenders
on the McConnell Unit Beeville Texas.
Without a jury trial to confront the defendants and show the parts omitted
by the defendants DVD Use of Force of the malicious and sadisticaly actions
ordered by Lt. Rodriguez without any reason did not resist being escorted to
11 Building, other than to get my Legal material. Futhermore, ther's nothing
in the record to support the attorney general theocy other than the altered D
VD thats take two different incident and person's to make there theory-story
seem true . A summons was issued (Doc. 12) Under seal as to Lt. Bernadetta
Rodrigues, Aimee Salinas and Ongudu on the 04/21/15 filed hand delivered to
USm. Thus all defendants have been notified but the Lt. Rodriguez that gave
the orders have fail to respond and the District Court proceeded without
the main individual.
10.
Thus, after reviewing the last DVD on the 10th of December 2015, saw OptJamerson while at 11 building, when asking for some one to check and loosen
the leg and wrist cuff. But she done nothing. Because, the District court
denied me to amend to add C. Moore, Cpt. Jamerson, C. Hudson and Roell for
the denial of medical treatment from the injuries., which also is a violation
of the eighth amendment.
To confront Lt. Rodriguez about her motive and the individual that made
the D.V.D. and to show at trial the parts omitted, added, that the DVD hads been
altered to cover the liability actions of the Defendants.
In Davis v. Washington, 547 U.S. 813, 126 s.Ct. 2266 (2006);
)\niy was subpoeniaed, but she did not appear at the subsequent bench trial. In
Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36,53-54, 124 s.Ct. 1354 (2004).
Held that this provision bars "admission of testimonal statements of the witness
who did not appear at trial unless they were unavailable to testify, and defendant had had a prior opportunity for cross-examination. Subject to the confrontation clause statements taken by police officers in the course of interrogations,
recording while she was in police custody after having been given Miranda
warnings as a possible suspect herself. Like the eye witness who has fabricated
his account to the police-court the analyst who provides false results may
under oath in open court, reconsider his false testimony- Coy v. Iowa, 487
s. 1012, 1019, 108 S-Ct- 2798, (1988). The right to cross-examine the
accuser both ensure the intergrity of the fact-finding process. Kentucky
Stincer, 482 U.S. 730,736 107 5.Ct. 2658, (1987); The Confrontation
Clause guarantees the defendant a face to face meeting with witness appearing
before the trier of fact. Id. at 748-750;
To determine the issue of good or bad faith of the officers cannot be done
without a trial to cross examine the person that made the DVD and the Defendants.
11.
To substain a claim of excessive force in violation of the 8th amendment
a show of medical records to support the injury, which Mr. Waddleton has
provided. Thus, the issue as to good or bad faith has been opposed by both
sides as to what happen that only can be resolve in a jury trial to confront
the person that made the DVD
,
Defendants
.,
Witness and present other evidence.

The petition for a writ of certiorari should be granted.
