PROCEEDINGS ON RECORD
The prior
proceedings
are
referred to
the
Certiorari/All
Writs Petition filed on May 31, 2018 on pages 3, 4. Later Plaintiff
sought review back to this Court for permission for an extension
of time to file a rehearing filed 1-9-2020 and returned. Filed an
amended letter to extend the time filed on 1-21-2020. proceeded
with a Motion for Rehearing filed 3-13-2020. Lastly a Motion for
Demand for Judgment filed 9-4-2020; all returned. Proceeded to the
11th Circuit Court of Appeals on a Writ of Prohibition filed 1123-2020,
but
denied
and/dismissed
on
2-1-2021;
Coleman & see Harris vs. Reed 489 U.S. 255,
109 S. Ct. 1038
3-9-2021;
See
103 L. Ed. 2d. 308,
(1989).
With these rulings, Plaintiff was able to proceed with this
Writ of Prohibition filed this
TJctt day of March 2021. These are
extraordinary circumstances that requires an extraordinary remedy.
There is no new arguments or Constitutional challenges that have
not been discussed or
touched upon.
This
petition of Writ
of
Prohibition shall be plain and concise with the information already
Cl)
acquired; that requires an adjudication of the merits.
GROUND: ONE
PETITIONER IS ENTITLED TO HIS
IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM UNLAWFUL CUSTODY
Plaintiff Case commenced as a Civil Rights
suit under 28
U.S.C. §1331 and 1343(a)(3). From this standpoint, he is seeking
relief from this Unlawful Custody. See pages 4, 5 of Certiorari/All
Writs Petition filed May 31, 2018. see also Appx.
(C). This cause
warrants the exercise of this Court's discretionary powers and
that for this,
adequate relief cannot be obtained in any other
form or from any other court. The Circuit Court barred Plaintiff
from filing any motions or petitions unless
accompanied by an
attorney. Spencer vs. State, 751 So. 2d 47 (Fla. 1999)
The United States District Court basically barred the filings
until I pay the statutory filing fee. See Appx.
(D); U.S.C.A.
14th
Amendment,

appealed to
the
11th Circuit
because he qualified for his case and Judgment to be
(Reopened."
All along he argued in his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 that the State Court
committed fraud of the Court pursuant to F.R.C.P. Rule 60(b)(3).
Without
committing
fraud
on
the
Court,
they
would
not
have
prevailed with Summary Judgment by the District Court. See Appx.
(D) .
Fraud on the Court is one Component that was consistently
proven in his first Federal hearing in these proceeding for his
Federal Habeas Corpus in 2012. Later on the llteh Circuit Court of
Appeals made a clerical error on one of their Orders.
(A) .
Now

Circumstance" that requires relief in Gonzalez vs. Crosby, 545 U.S.

(2005);
lh,
9-10 to reopen a habeas judgment pursuant to
Rule 60(b)(6). See 28 U.S.C. §1343 (a) (3) .
Aside from this, there is another extraordinary circumstance.
Plaintiff is claiming he's being held against his will. It's plain
to see that it's on the face of the record. Plaintiff involuntarily
plead guilty to the offences of Armed Burglary of a Dwelling F.S.
810.02(b)(2)

pts. See Appx.
(C) . This was illegal. U.S.C.A. 14th Amendment. See
Hersey v. State, 831 So. 2d 679, 680 (5DCA 2002) ; Taylor v. State,
(5)
818 So. 2d 544, 546 550 (2DCA 2002), and Green v. State, 887 So.
2d 1089, 1090 (Fla. 2004). This; What the State did which was the
first Ex Post Facto of causing a Defendant to be disadvantaged by
statutes that were invalid.
28 U.S.C. § 1343(a) (3); 42 U.S.C.
1983; and Fla. Const. Art. I, sec. 10. Now for the U.S.
§
District
Court to "AFFIRM" what the Circuit Court illegally and unlawfully
accomplished made it a "Second" Ex Post Facto violation. See U.S.
Question # 5 in Certiorari/All Writs petition filed May 31, 2018;
See 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h). Therefore, Plaintiff is entitled to his
immediate release from unlawful custody and because the District
Courts Judgment was based on a "defective foundation"; point blank.
U.S.C.A. Art. I, sec. 10 CL. 1. See Appx.
(D).
"Integrity of the proceedings under Rule 60(b)(6)"
1)
The
State Court
(Defendants)

he is unlawfully detained. See

The 11th Cir. Court of Appeals made a clerical error in
its Order. See Appx.
5)
(A)
The 11th Cir. Court of Appeals Judgment was contrary to
that of another Court of Appeals. See Certiorari/All writs petition
page 5; Appx. (Al, 4); 14th Amendment U.S.A.; 28U.S.C. §2253(c)(2).
6)
The District Court and the 11th Cir.
Court of Appeals
failed to afford the Appellant to appeal in a Civil Rights Case.
See 28 U.S.C. §1915 (a) (1) (4); Smith vs. Bennett 365 U.S. 708, 712,
81 S. Ct. 895 (1961).
OTHER CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE
The
Plaintiff
acknowledges
that
there
are
several
scenarios to persuade this Honorable Court of the illegality of a
detention that's on the face of the record by clear and convincing
evidence.
28
U.S.C.
§2254(e)(1);
28
U.S.C.
§2254 (a) (b) (1) (A) (B) (i) (ii) .
1)
The Statutes that the Plaintiff was Convicted and
Sentenced by were invalid at that moment in time,
"violated the
Single Subject Rule Art. Ill sec. 6 of the Fla. Const, and could
be addressed for the first time on Appeal as fundamental error.
Cf. F.S. 924.051(b)(3); Cf. State vs. Johnson 616 So. 2d 1 (Fla.
1993)
2)
Plaintiff cannot plea to an illegal sentence:
Stat. 775.24 (3) (c) :
(7)
Fla.
All three Defendants and or the 7th Judicial Court knew
or should have known of the Statutes Constitutionality;
and it
could not be considered that his involuntary plea to the charges
above were knowing and voluntary. Cf. Mantle vs. State 592 So. 2d
1190 (5th DCA 1992)
3)Therefore
Plaintiff
was
disadvantaged
invalidness or inapplicability of those statutes.
Cf.
by
the
Miller v.
Florida, 107 S. Ct. 2446; 96 L. Ed. 2d 351, 48 USC 423 (1987). Art.
I, §10, CL. 1, U.S.C.A.
So basically Plaintiff
is
suing
for his
freedom and
requesting this Court to exercise its Superior Discretional Powers
to grant the relief requested. To be exonerated; charges dropped,
because
of
the
deliberate
malicious
prosecution.

U.S.C.

see Ritter vs.
Smith, 811 F. 2d 1398, 1341-1402 (CA. 11th Cir. 1987); 28 U.S.C. §
1343 (a)(3). See Appx.
(D). Whether a plaintiff needs a (COA) to
appeal in a civil case, I probably will never know; but one thing
I do know; see section 2 Chambers, Course of Lectures on English
Law
1767-1773,
at
6
(Liberty
may
be
violated
by
arbitrary
imprisonment without Law or the appearance of Law, or by a Lawful
Magistrate for an unlawful reason"), This is so... even when the
prisoner
is detained after a criminal trial

with
the
production
of
the
conducted in full
Bill
of
Rights.
Certiorari/All Writs filed May 31, 2018 pages 8-9., Appx.
See
(C).
Plaintiff never will be in this position of committing crimes,
again; but to only prevent them.
Being deprived deliberately of
life and liberty of the American Way; To be drug through the Courts
year after year; and to be taken from our Love ones much longer
than the Law called for applicably only made me Stronger and Wiser.
United States Laws and Rules provided the people of this Country
to be concisely liable for any wrong doing. 42 U.S.C. § 1983; on

REASONS FOR GRANTING THE PETITION
1.)
Plaintiff has diligently sought relief in the Federal Courts
since 2011; while being advised that he had to sue for his freedom.
He recently realized that "Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction"
was a touchy subject that allowed him to be hindered entirely, so
it was excluded in this last petition. He still feels his detention
wasn't fully Justified.
2.)
