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,

Circuit

(Al). See Coleman.

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

these

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)

for 21 calendar years when he only scored out to 15 yrs. at 180

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)

committed "Fraud on the

Court," Depriving Plaintiff of a fair federal hearing by failing

to relinquish the documents that was sufficient evidence to prove

he is unlawfully detained. See

4)

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.

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

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.)
