This book is not only an informative research guide, but also a simple to understand resource manual. With this book, you will be armed with a unique understanding of the habeas corpus process used by both state and federal prisoners who seek relief in the United States district court system. This book is written to guide the convicted through a complicated web of court rules and statutes that have, throughout the years, been passed and utilized by bar members to deny relief to even the innocent. This book provides form letters, sample motions, and memorandum briefs with full instructions that will likely be needed by every prisoner who seeks justice. This book will assist state and federal prisoners in obtaining documents and an understanding of how to effectively structure Pro Se pleadings. It will teach you how to study criminal cases and evaluate sound constitutional claims. If you or a loved one is or has been a victim of the American criminal justice system, it’s safe to assume that you have looked for guidance in one form or another. It is also safe to say that there exists no single, all encompassing, source that will offer relief in every case. What's needed in every case lies within you and the law, that’s the desire to do justice. This book is different from all others for two reasons: 1. It gives you, in simple terms, an understanding of a right that the United States Constitution guarantees to all people, the right to justice. 2. It provides you the resources and guidelines successfully used by prisoners written from the perspective of an American citizen who has been victimized by an overzealous court. This book provides the experience of an actual habeas corpus petitioner filing in Pro Se, in necessity, rather than the hypothetical theory of a law clerk working for the weekend. Many have found this resource guide a informative tool to help you, the prisoner, gain a better understanding of judicial laws and the legal rights guaranteed to you.

Written in layman’s terms, this book provides prisoners an understanding that the courts don’t want you to have. This book is not only an informative research guide it is also a plain terms resource manual. With this book, you will be armed with a unique understanding of the Habeas Corpus process used by both state and federal prisoners who seek relief in the United States district courts. This book is written to guide the convicted and their representatives through a complicated web of court rules, policies and statutes that have, throughout the years, been passed and utilized by Bar members to deny relief to even the innocent. This book is a continuation, of a long overdue effort, to make sense of the habeas corpus process in layman's terms. In this installment, to the series, you will learn how to advance through to appeal. You will be provided with the necessary filings to journey through the court of appeals, step-by-step, as you file a certificate of appealability, an opening brief, a reply, and a petition for rehearing. You will discover how the federal court rules are applied to cases along with the actual background practice of the courts personnel. You will receive tips concerning the actual practice rather than the fairy tale taught in law school. Writing this book has been a painstaking effort to prepare you for the next battle at hand. Although, you will find the court of appeals far less hostile than the district; you will also find that you will be held to a strict adherence to the rules. For that reason, I've included a complete listing of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure; The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; Rules Governing 2255 in the district court; and the controlling statutes of title 28 that pertain to habeas corpus actions. You will also find that the format of this book is set in a style that's simple to follow. Every filing that's listed is immediately preceded by the instructions for its filing. If you begin at page one you can follow the appeal process from start to finish, covering every aspect rule-by-rule. Be aware that you are not alone in your quest for justice, many have fought and suffered as they battled the powers of evil. But, rest assured that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train. You must study and arm yourself with knowledge; its only with an understanding of truth and right that will you achieve justice in a court enacted to produce convictions. For a public example of the lengths they will go, review district court case number 2:16-cv-709-RDP-HGD, in the Northern District of Alabama. Continue to study so you may prevail, remember chance favors a prepared mind.

This is the third book in the Post-Conviction Relief series. This installment is written to help correct the most basic problem in your case, the way you think.

This book is my effort to set a standard by which a layman can measure their ability to express themselves to a court effectively.

It will teach you how to refine your pleadings by understanding the importance of critical word usage and syllogistic reasoning. You will learn the importance of presenting a clear set of facts as opposed to a theory in law they already know. This book includes a full and accurate copy of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and other resource guidelines and materials. Most importantly, I'm sharing with you what I've learned in over 20 years of education.
