Kenneth R. Heddlesten v. Scott Crow, Director, Oklahoma Department of Corrections
HabeasCorpus
When was conviction final?
QUESTION(S) PRESENTED In my Combined Opening Brief and Application for a Certificate of Appealabilty to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals-Tenth Circuit | raised three issues that are relevant . facts of the case based on the Report and Recommendation and Order from the US District Court-Western District of Oklahoma dismissing my Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus as untimely. From those issues my questions for the Honorable Supreme Court Justices arise. 1. When was my conviction final? 2. When did the limitations period under 28 actually start? . 3. Did the Caddo County District Court have jurisdiction to decide and render judgment in my case? | acknowledge that this question in and of itself is not. directly related to the Districts Courts ruling that “No reasonable jurist could conclude the district courts procedural ruling was in correct.” However, | am under the impression that Jurisdiction is one issue that is never waived and can be addressed at any time. /f that is incorrect | hope the Honorable Justices will remember that | am a layperson not formally educated or trained in the practice of law and request that my Petition be considered under the protection of Haynes v Kerner, 92 S. Ct. 594, (1972). In filing this petition | established three rules for myself to follow: first, be honest and don’t claim anything that isn’t true; second, don’t pretend to be anything | am not; and third (KISS) keep it simple stupid, a reminder to myself that | am not a lawyer. ii .
