I REED PAYNE PHD · Licensed Clinical Psychologist 288 Comprehensive dinic Brigham Young University Provo,U~ 37~79

June 11, 1993

·r-- r Board of Pardons [..:: .... . 448 East 6400 South Suite 300 Murray, UT 84107

Dear Board of Pardons:

As you may know, l·was called on by the State some time ago to do a psychological evaluation of Nicholas Vaughn Banner in conjunction with a charge of escape from the Richfield Jail where he was incarcerated as part of a prison sentence. · I had spent an inorcJjnate amount of time with Mr. Banner and his case. later it was necessary for me to travel. from California back to Utah from an academic sabbatical in order· to testify in Mr. Banner's case. Subsequently he was found not guilty of the jail escape, in part, due to Post- traumatic Stress Disorder as a consequence of severe beatings in prison on two different occasions resulting in surgery and severe injury~ Other incidents of harassment have aggravated and prolonged Mr. Banner's recovery. I understand that Mr. Banner made on appearance before the Board on December 30, 1992 where the Board determined to grant a release on December 14, 1993 with the stipulation that he, Mr. Banner, enter and complete the sex offenders program at the Bonneville half-way house. This, however, presented a problem which I would like to address in a helpful way if possible.

From the outset of his 9* year incarceration he has steadfastly professed his innocence of the offense charged and convicted. Under these circumstances, the half-way house director has recently acknowledged that Mr. Banner will not be accepted into the sex offender program and wanted to refer the matter back to the Board for a hearing. It has also been suggested by his caseworker that a Special Attention Request be submitted to the Board asking that the halfway house sex offender program requirement be dropped from the conditions of parole. Mr. Banner concurs with this later approach~ This letter constiMes an endorsement of the suggestion that such a requirement be deleted from conditions ·of release and parole.

The basis for this endorsement might inducle ~y points but I will highlight the onE!§ most relevant. There is grave doubt in my mind that Mr. Banner is a pedophile. I have gone over his records carefully and in concert with his own testimony, with testing, and with all information available it is extremely doubtful that this man is a pedophile. Another point

~ -· ""that is WOI1hy of consideration is his professed innocence.. Whil::: know that this is not an adequate or even meaningful reason in most cases to apply with any consideration, I urge the Board- to c:onSider the possible miscarriage of justice. There is an exceptionally good possibility that his case indudes a female friend who felt she ~ spumec,llly Mr. Banner and provided a fabrication of the charges. Subseque11t evidence from out$ide the prison as well as extensive detail of his accounts cast more than a reasonable- doubt on the -ch~e under which he is currently incarcerated. More than_tflat this.examinerisamvina!dthat- Mr.. -Banner -not only states -hiS- -innOceilCe-l:i-.:li is firmly convinced of his innoa!nCe. Therefore, the only way for him to maintain any integrity is to go with the truth. Otherwise he would have to violate his own sense of right and wrong tO conform to the request of the Board. let me hasten to acknowledge that in almost all cases we are dealing with denial when such protests are registered, but in this .case I strongly urge the Board to consider the possibility of an exception. In any event, it would be both unwise and unprofitable for Mr. Banner to be forced into a treatment prOgram where both he and others would deem the process inappropriate..

It would also seem that his period of incarceration for almost 10 years is an exceptionally long period of time and unusual. This coupled with the severe beatings and harassment and isolation in Mr. Banner's caseseems to be very unfair and excessive as far as punishment is concerned.

Finally, I would like to state that Mr. Banner does not strike me as being of danger to himself or others. There is evidence of psychological stability and strength of character such that a reasonably favorable prediction might be made regarding his parole. The one negative factor is, of course, his long period of incarceration. In my investigatiori of Mr. Banner's history, psychological functioning, problems and progress over time I have found his reporting, his copious note takin& details provided and information to be extremely · accurate. He ~ to have a high regard for the truth in spite of obvious disagreement by others who have been d~ermined to work against his interests. Mr. Banner has exCEllent potential. My concern is that he underestimates himself. Considering the length of time he has been away from society it might be helpful to move him rather quickly into a halfway house situation so that any adjustment problems might be ameliorated within a structured situation and Mr. Banner can be given the benefit of the correctional system in integtating himself back into the community.

If I can be of any further help in this case please feel free to contact me. My address and phone number are on the letterhead.

COKES NOW Neal. K. ostl.er upon his oath deposes and

1. Tbat duri.nq the months of 1988, :t _ was

employed by the utah state Department of Corrections_ as a substance

abuse -counsel.or, assigned ~ the Uinta Facility at the Utah state Prison in Draper w-...re I met and beca.1lle acqu.aint.ed with inmate Nicho~as- v. Banner and his case.

:t began to perceive him otherwise.

3. Upon discovery of the names of the parties involved

i.n the al.l.eqed incident, the shock of r~tiol! aetna lly took my

breath away and I needed to sit down -in order to retain my

composure. I was total.l.y convinced of Hr. Banner's innocence .. 4. That prior to my empl.ojment with the prison I was

·a sa.J.t Lake county Sheriff • s oeputy fo~ over 15 years. Whil.e I was ~ a Sal.t Lake- County Sheriff Deputy I witnessed a ful.l. compl.ement of unethical. and u,nl.awfu.L behavior on the part of a number of •old -. school." . pol.:ice officers .. - :t witnessed -fabricated evidence r

Whereas, the average citizen such_ as lf:r.

BAnner coUl.d- expect to receive ~

treatment within the penal. system from--fel.low officers of the •qooci ole boy" fraternity, of which Mr. Cranfill vas a l.eadinq member. 9. I conclude that Mr. Banner is innocent based on a

personal ltnPW:l~~ of mr. Cranf.il.l.'s vindictive, ruthless, :_ unrel.entinq 'JIIa.DDer. I base this on a review of the re<:erd in the

COf.:iES J:JOW,. Nicholas G. Heintz (hereinafter 11Nr. He;ntz 11 ) , the Applicant i..~ the above-captioned cause, who respectfully moves the Col.U"t to schedule a heariP~ on the application.

Art. 11.05. BY WHOM "WPJ:T FAY BE GRANTED.

The Court of Criminal Appeals, the lli strict Courts ( empha~s added), the County Courts, or any Judge of said Courts, have power to issue the vl!'it of habeas corpus; and it is their duty,· upon proper motion, to grant the vl!'i t under the rules prescribed by law.

A significant number of pretrial writ of habeas corpus applications, addressing various grounds, are filed w"ith and heard by trial courts.

For exa.mple. See. attached Opinions in Edlvard Jerome Green, Appellant v. The State of' Texas, Court of Appeals of Texas, Fort \forth, No. 2-98-553-CR, decided: July 22, 1999; and Ex: parve Cory Howard,Court of Appeals of Texas, San Antonio, No. 04-0S-00157-CR, decided: November 23, 2005.

In Hm·rard the Appellate Court articulated that 11 A v-n::it of' habeas

corpus is an extraordinary 1-r.rit. E:.c parve 1-i:lise, 55 s.~-1. 3d 616, 619

(Tex. Grim. App. 2001 ). 1 Neither a trial court nor an appellate court

should entertain an application f'or writ of' habeas corpus -vmen there :is an adequate remedy "a<J appeal. 1 Id. Further, an applicant nmst be illegally restrained to be entitled to habeas corpus relief. 11

?..e.ferriD..g back to Title 1, Chapter 11 of the Texas Code of' Criminal Procedure, under Art. 11 .65 (c) 11 for the purposes of tb..is chapter, an applicant released on bond under t:b; s article remains restrained in his liberty. 11

f!.T. Heintz is 11 illegally restrained n in that: 1) the unindicted Smith County charge (Ex. A of Application) lodged against him (.failure to comply with sex o.ffender registration) is hinged upon a Utah conviction l·ri.t..l-:1 a registration requirement >vi'...ich is statutorily expL.-ed (Utah Code of Criminal Procedure, Sec. 77-27-21.5 (9) (a)); 2) D P S in Austin determined :L.'1 November of 201 2 (upon }ir'. Hei.Tltz 1 s entry into the state) that l•.T. Heintz -v-m.s not required to register in Texas because a:n::r and all previous registration reqirements fl.-ad expired; and, 3) his Constitutionally protected Due Process entitlement to a preffiLmption of innocence was egregiously violated by the Smith County Sheri_ff' s Office -when, t1relve (12) days following his arrest for allegedly having failed to register, on 2 October 2014; 't;·ri.thout an Indictrr.ent, vri. thout a trial and without a conviction, said "law enforcement" agency 11 directed 11 Nr. Heintz to register.

A habeas corpus action is separate from the proceeding out of Uolhich 11

Court of Appeals ofTexas,San Antonio. Ex parte Cory HOWARD.

No. 04-05-00157-CR.. Decided: November 23, 2005 Sitting: CATHERINE STONE, .Justice, SARAH B. DUNCAl"<, Justice, REBECCA SIMMONS, Justice. George Scharmen, San Antonio, for appellant. Kevin P. Yeary, Asst. Crim. Dist. Atty., San Antonio, for appellee. MEMORANDUM OPINION

In this appeal, Cory Howard seeks reversal of the trial court's denial of his application for a pretrial writ of FindLaw Career Center habeas corpus. Because the ground asserted in the petition for writ of habeas corpus is not cognizable in a pretrial writ application, we affirm the trial court's denial of habeas corpus relief. Attorney Corporate Counsel A writ of habeas corpus is an extraordinary writ. Ex parte Weise, 55 S.W.3d 617, 619 (Tex.Crim.App.2001). Academic Judicial Clerk "Neither a trial court nor an appellate court should entertain an application for writ of habeas corpus when Summer Associate there is an adequate remedy by appeal." Id. Further, an applicant must be illegally restrained to be entitled to lntem Law Librarian habeas corpus relief. I d. "If we conclude the grounds asserted in the petition for writ of habeas corpus are not cognizable, then we must affirm the trial court's denial of habeas corpus relief."

Howard is charged with committing the offense of driving while intoxicated on September 8, 2003. The indictment alleges that Howard has been convicted of DWI on two previous occasions, January 19, 1989 and October 14, 1991. The effect of this allegation is to change the primary DWI offense from a misdemeanor to a third-degree felony., Howard filed a pretrial writ of habeas corpus, asserting that his previous DWI convictions cannot be used for enllancement purposes because the statutory language permitting such enllancement did not exist at the time of his previous convictions.. According to Howard, using his prior convictions to increase the punishment for his 2003 DWI offense would thus violate the ex post facto proscriptions of the United States and Texas Constitutions.

Howard's complaint is plaialy an "as applied" challenge to the constitutionality of the enllancement statute in effect at the time of the primary DWI offense-Penal Code section 49.09(e). See Ex parte Woodall, 154 S.W.3d 698, 700-01 (Tex.App.-El Paso 2004, pet. ref d) (recognizing argument alleging that a city ordinance is unconstitutional because it is an ex post facto law is "an 'as applied' challenge to the constitutionality of the . ordinance."). A pretrial writ of habeas corpus, however, may not be used to address an "as applied" challenge to a statute. Id. at 701. "As applied" challenges must be litigated in the trial court and adjudicated on direct appeal. Id. Because the issue raised in Howard's petition for writ of habeas corpus is not cognizable in a pretrial writ application, Howard's sole appellate issue is overruled. FindLaw's on Facebook!

Discussion

There are two ways a defendant can challenge, in the trial court, the facial constitutionality of a statute. Appellant may file a pretrial motion asking the trial court to declare the statute unconstitutional. See, e.g., Williams v. State, 937 S. W.zd 479, 491 ffex.Crim.App.19'}6) (addressing on appeal the claim that the trial court erred in failing to grant the defendant's pretrial motion to declare death penalty scheme unconstitutional). When a defendant files a pretrial motion, any ruling on the motion is interlocutory, and is not subject to immediate appeal. See Ex parteApolinarv. State, 820 S.W.2d 792. 794 (Tex.Crim.App.1991); McKown v. State, 915 S.W.2d 16o, 161 ffex.App.-Fort Worth 1996, no pet); see also Scottv. State, 158 Tex.Crim. 69, 2S3 S.W.2d275, 276 (1952) (interlocutory orders not appealable).

The other procedure fur challenging the constitutional validity of a penal code provision before trial is "ia a pretrial application forwritofhabeas corpus. See, e.g., Ex parte Boetscher, 812 S.W.zd6o0, 6o1 ffex.Crim.App.1991); Ex parte Meyer, 172 Tex.Crim. 403, 357 S.W.zd 754. 756 (1962). In fact, the very nature of the claim that appellant makes here-that a statute is unconstitutionally void fur vagueness-has been addressed on appeals from pretrial applications furwritofhabeas corpus. See Ex parte Anderson, 902S.W.zd 695, 698 (Tex.App.-Austin 1995, pel refd); Ex parte Luster, 846 S.W.2d 928, 930 ffex.App.-FortWorth 1993, Involved in a Car Accident? You may be entitled to compensation! Click pel ref d); Ex parte Guerrero, 811 S.W.2d 726, 727 ffex.App.-Corpus Christi 1991, no pel). When a trial court for more info: denies relief from a pretrial habeas corpus application, the applicant may take immediate appeal. See Ex parte Consumerlnjury .com McCullough, 966 S. W.zd529, 531 (Tex.Crim.App.1998); Waldiev. State, 923 S.W.2d 152,157 ffex.App.- Injury Claim? Beaumont 19'}6, no pet}. You may be entitEd to compensation! Ctick for detais: In this case, appellant chose to challenge the validity of section 38.04 by filing a pretrial application fur writ of Consumerlnjury. cam habeas corpus, instead of a pretrial motion to declare section 38. 04 unconstitutional. The trial court, after a Have a Personal Injury Claim? hearing, denied the requested relief. TherefOre, the trial court's denial was immediately appealable.

Seetex.R.App. P. 26.2(a)(1).1 There was no motion fur new trial, thus appellant's notice of appeal from the order denying him habeas relief was due on or before October 9, 1998. Appellant filed his notice of appeal on Nm-ember 4. 1998.

611.312ll15 GREEN v. STATE I Firol.aw ,· Appellant's notice of appeal, however, is timely regarding the final judgment entered on November 2, 1998. But, because appellant entered into a plea bargain, he must meet the special notice requirements of rule 25.2(b) (3). tex. R.App. P. 25.2(b)(3). Appellant does not appeal a jurisdictional issue, nor has the trial court granted hint pennission to appeal. See id 25.2(b)(3)(A), (C). Thus, in order to appeal his conviction, appellant's notice must truthfully state that the substa.D.ce of his appeal was raised by written motion and ruled on before trial. Appellant's notice does not, and in filet can not, meet this requirement.

We recognize that appellant's notice of appeal states that the substance of the appeal was raised by written motion and ruled on before trial. For this to be true, however, the pretrial habeas corpus application must be a "written motion" as contemplated in rule 25.2(b)(3). Our review of applicable law re\"eals that it is not.

A pretrial motion is to be filed at a pretrial hearing conducred pmsuant to article 28.01 of the code of criminal procedure. tex.Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 28.01 (Vernon 1989). At such a hearing, the defendant may file any motions or pleadings that are by law permitted to be filed, including a motion In declare a statute unconstibrtional. See id art. 27.02; see, e.g., Williams, 937 S. W.zd at 491. The purpose of the pretrial hearing is to enable the judge In dispose of certain mattecs prior to trial and thus avoid delays during the trial. See-Johnson v. State, 803 S. W.2d272, 284 (Tex.Crim.App.1990), cert. denied, 501 U.S. 1259, 111 S.Ct. 2914, 115 L.Ed.zd 1078 (1991)- Rulings on pretrial motions are interlocutory and not subject to immediate appeal. See Scott, 253 S.W.2dat275·

A habeas corpus action is separate from the proceeding out of which it arises and its purpose is vastly different. Habeas corpus is by definition an extraordinary writ in which the restraint of one's b"berty is challenged as illegal. See Tex. Code Crim- Proc. Ann. art. 11.01 (Vernon 1977); Saucedov. State, 795 S. W.zd 8. 9 (Tex.App--Houston [14th D!st.] 1990, no pet.). As oneofoursistercourts has noted:

Habeas corpus proceedings are separate and distinct proceedings independent of the cause institnted by the presentation of an indictment or other forms of the State's pleadings. Such habeas corpus proceedings should be docketed separately from the substanti\"e cause and gi\'en a different cause number. An appeal from an order denying relief is not an interlocutory appeal from the substantive cause arising out of an indiclnlent, felony information, or complaint and information.

Ex parte Shumake, 953 S. W.2d 842, 846 n- 8 (Tex-App.-Austin 1997, no pet.)_ Additionally, the purpose of a pretrial habeas corpus application is not to fucilitate trial, but to stnp trial and secure immediate release from confinement.

Because of the inlportant differences noted, we conclude that a pretrial application for writ of habeas corpus is not the same as a matter "raised by written motion and ruled on before trial" for the purpose of rule 25.2(b) (3)- Here appellant opted tn file a pretrial application for habeas relief_ He did not immediately appeal the order denying hint relief_ Appellant then pleaded nolo contendere without filing any pretrial motions. Thus, while appellant's notice of appeal textually reflects compliance with rule 25.2(b)(3)(B), the statement is inaccurate because there are no pretrial motions in this case. Appellant therefore fuils tn meet the special notice requirement of rule 25.2(b)(3)(B) and, as a result, fuils In in"uke this court's juriSdiction over the judgment and sentence in this case See Long v. State, 980 S.W.zd 878, 878 {Tex.App.-Fort Worth 1998, no pet.).

Conclusion

Because any purported appeal from the order denying habeas relief is untimely and because appellant otherwise fuils to invoke our appellate jurisdiction, we dismiss this appeal for want ofjurisdiction.

'Sponsored Ms. Hernandez,

Please allow me describe the chronology of my Utah conviction record:

On December 5, 1983, under the name of Nicholas Vaughn Banner, I GreaterTexasHonda!)ealers N- 2014 Honda Accord was arrested by the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Dept. on charges of Specials Sexual Abuse of a Child, Count I, and Sodomy Upon A Child, Count II. Note: this is a contrived offense; it never actually occurred.

The case initially came to trial before a jury on Dec. 4 and 5, 1984, where I was found guilty on both counts as charged and sentenced to prison.

In April !986, the Utah Supreme Court unanimously reversed the conviction and remanded the case to trial.~- State v. Barurer, Utah, 717 P. 2d 1325 (1986).

The case was re-tried in June of 1986, before a jury, where I was once more found guilty of Count I, Sexual Abuse of a Child; however, found not guilty ofSodomy·I:Jpon ~Child, Count· II.

I expirated my term of imprisonment on November 23, 1999, and on that date was released. Per Utah law I was required to register during the sentence and for a period often (10) years after release. See. Utah Code of Criminal Procedure, Sec. 77-27-21.5 (9) (a) "Except as provided in Subsections (9) (B) and (c), a sex offender shall, for the duration of the sentence and for ten years after termination of sentence, register an'nually ... "

The statutory period of registration ended on November 23, 2009.

This is the reason why the Arizona Notice of Registration you pulled up from the Internet that first day we spoke over the phone did not list the Utah conviction, because the registration requirement for that conviction had already been satisfied. It is a moot issue.

The same standard would also apply here in Texas. See. Texas Title I. Code of Criminal Procedure, CHAPTER 62. Sex Offender Registration Program, Art. 62.052 (b) "The duty to register for an extrajurisdictional registrant expires on the day the person's duty to register would expire under the laws of the other state.. ."

I hope the foregoing information is helpful. I'll await to hear back from you once the authorities in Austin have had an opportunity to review the matter.

Please know I am not what my past record makes me out to be. I did have some issues over the death of my father when I was a boy of II that were inappropriately manifest as a young adult. That was a long time ago; I got through it, grew up and moved on with my life.

Thanks again for your time and kind, fair-minded understanding.
