Application For The Writ of Mandamus

 

 

 

 

 

 

1

Comes Now the Petitioner, Gilda Marie Schoonover, Pro-se, an inmate within the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, currently housed at the Mabel Basset Correctional Center, 29501 Kickapoo Road, McLoud Oklahoma, under the direct care, custody and supervision of Millicent-Newton Embry, Warden, and moves this honourable Court to issue it’s Writ of Mandamus,

 

instructing and ordering the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, the Respondent, to issue it’s writ of Mandamus ordering the Respondent to accept the Appeal of a wrongful decision and order from the District Court of Mayes County, the State of Oklahoma, the honorable Dynda Post sitting of an Application for Post-Conviction Relief for reason and authority to wit:

 

The Petitioner is a lay person and untrained and unskilled in the ways and mechanics of the law, therefore she hereby invokes her protections of a Pro-se litigant obtained through Haines v. Kerner, ­404 U.S. 519 [1972]

 

And Hall v. Bellmon,

As same was drafted and prepared with the help of an Inmate Legal Research Assistant.

 

And let it be known herein that I have authorized and appointed my husband, John E. Schoonover, as my lawful Attorney-In-Fact by the execution of my Power Of Attorney on the 24th day of October, 2005.

History of the Matter

 

On the 16th day of November, 1999, this Petitioner was charged, along with her husband, John E. Schoonover, by Information in the Mayes County District Court of Murder In The First Degree.  The cause for the Warrant of Arrest, as well as the cause at Preliminary hearing to bind both Ms. Schoonover and her husband to trial by the District Court was, without question, blatantly false.

 

Following trial to a jury the defendants were both found guilty and the trial Court, following the Jury’s recommendation, sentenced both to life with possibility of parole, even though the State, through Charles Ramsey, [Assistant District Attorney] publicly confessed, “I haven’t a clue to what happened in that house” in the incident at bar.

 

An appeal was taken and both defendants were ordered re-tried.  A second trial was held to a jury in Mayes County, the honorable Judge Dynda Post sitting. 

 

 

3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John E. Schoonover was found Not Guilty of the charge at bar, but the Court wrongly allowed the charge of Accessory After The Fact to be entered after all evidence had been presented, as well as closing arguments; for this wrongful charge, the verdict of Guilty was returned, but later overturned by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, leaving Mr. Schoonover without conviction. 

 

The Defendant/Petitioner, Mrs. Schoonover, was found guilty of the charge of Murder in The First Degree and again sentenced to life in prison.

 

From this, again direct appeal was taken and said conviction and sentence was affirmed.  Following affirmation the Petitioner filed her Application for Post-Conviction Relief pursuant to 22 O.S. 1080 et. Seq. which was signed and executed by John E. Schoonover, acting under law as her lawful Attorney-In-Fact, such power gained from the Power of Attorney Document executed October 24, 2005.

 

 

4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Application was denied wrongfully, as the Court failed to reach the merits of the matter and the Petitioner timely filed her Notice of Intent to appeal said decision with the District court, said pleading executed by John E. Schoonover as Attorney-In-Fact, and she filed her Petition In Error with the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, hand delivered and executed by her Attorney-In-Fact, John E. Schoonover, in a timely fashion.

 

 

Following a delay in adjudication of over three months Ms. Schoonover filed a Motion for Summary Disposition, as the Attorney General had failed to respond and the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals had failed to rule.

 

Within days, the Oklahoma Criminal Appeals declined jurisdiction for alleged improper signature, that being the signature of John E. Schoonover, the Petitioner’s Attorney-In-Fact, which was accompanied by her notarized Power Of Attorney.

Jurisdictional Statement

 

This Petitioner comes before this Honourable Court as the highest Court in the State of Oklahoma and as such, the Court over all judiciary of this State!  As such, this Court is the proper venue to hear and order the relief herein sought, namely the Writ of Mandamus ordering the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to vacate it’s Order denying Post-Conviction Relief due to ‘improper signature’ and to accept the legal signature of John E. Schoonover acting as Attorney-In-Fact, a clear legal duty.  See Oklahoma Constitution Article F sec. 4.

 

Further, the Oklahoma Statutes at Title 12, 2001, Sec. 952, (b) (z) references the Supreme Court’s Jurisdiction, and gives jurisdiction of:

 

“An order that discharges, vacates , or modifies, or refuses to vacate or modify a provisional remedy which affects the substantial rights of a party; or grants, refuses, vacates, modifies or refuses to vacate or modify an injunction; grants or refuses a new trial; or vacates or refuses to vacate a final judgment.”

6

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, this Court has jurisdiction to grant relief herein sought.

 

Argument and Authority

 

For one to qualify for the Writ of Mandamus per rules of the Court, a Petitioner must show the following:

 

1.  She has a clear right to relief sought.

2.  The Respondent has failed to perform a

      plain legal duty not involving an exercise in

      discretion, and;

3.   The adequacy of Mandamus, and the

       inadequacy of other relief.

See Woolen v. Coffman, 676 P.2d 1375, 1377 [Okl. Cr. 1984]

 

Mandamus has further been ruled an appropriate vehicle to ensure due process, a protection that without this Court’s Order, would be denied this Petitioner.

See: Waldron v. Evans, 861 P.2d 311, 313,[Okl. Cr. 1993]

 

 

7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the instant matter at bar it is clear all requirements are met.  The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals wrongly denied acceptance of the Petitioner’s Application for signature.  The Application was lawfully signed and executed by the Petitioner, through John E. Schoonover, her lawful Attorney-In-Fact, authorized through her lawfully executed Power Of Attorney.

 

The Oklahoma Statutes at Title 58, Chapter 17A cites the Uniform Power of Attorney Act, sections 1072.1 and 1072.2 being the applicable authority in this matter.

 

Further defining Power Of Attorney the Petitioner refers the Court to In Re Matter of Rolater’s Estate, 542 P.2d 219 [Okl. App.. 1975]:

 

“Power of Attorney refers to instrument authorizing another to act as one’s agent or attorney-in-fact, as distinguished from attorney at law.”

 

 

8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Re Matter of Rolater’s Estate, Id, further states:

 

“Instrument Creating Power of Attorney will be strictly construed.”

 

 

Under authority of all the above it is without question that John E. Schoonover, acting as agent or Attorney In Fact, authorized by properly executed Power of Attorney, had authority to legally sign any and all legal documents, including the Application for Post-Conviction relief that is the matter here at bar, and the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals was obligated to accept Mr. Schoonover’s signature, acting as agent or Attorney In Fact, for this Petitioner.  To not accept the valid Power of Attorney and signature by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals would be stating that the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals is above the law.  Others are authorized to accept as valid such transactions. 

Surely the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals is not above the law.  For further argument of this prayer the Petitioner refers this Court to her unanswered prayer to “Set Aside and Vacate,” attached.   {Exhibit A}

 

9

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In closing argument concerning the validity of a Power of Attorney and the signature of one so designated Mrs. Schoonover need go no farther than Title 60, Okl. Statute at sec. 299.1

“Under Common Law”

“The common law of powers is hereby declared to be the law of this state, except as modified by statute.”

The common law of powers makes clear that the Post-Conviction execution that in the matter here at bar was properly executed, and no statute has modified same.

 

From the above it is clear that one, the petitioner validly executed her Post-Conviction Application through her Attorney In Fact [not next of friend] and is therefore entitled to relief herein sought.

 

It is further clear that the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals had no discretion in accepting the Power of Attorney and signature of Mrs. Schoonover’s Attorney In Fact.

 

 

10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Draper v. State, 621 P.2d 1142 [Okl. App. 1980] speaks to this:

“Mandamus does not lie to control an action that allows discretion, unless discretion has been abused.”

 

And further:

“A difference of opinion is not an abuse of discretion.  Where there is room for two opinions, an action is not arbitrary or capricious when it is executed honestly upon due consideration even though it may be believed that an erroneous conclusion has been reached.”

 

There is, first, no discretion of the courts, in this case the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, in accepting statutory authority beyond such statutes constitutionality.  In this case no Constitutional bars, either state or federal, exist, therefore no discretion of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals existed to not accept a signature allowed by statute.  No difference of opinion exists when a statute is so plain. 

 

11

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simply put, Oklahoma Court of Criminal appeals, the Respondent, failed to perform a plain legal duty and accept the Application as legally signed, executed, and presented.

 

Finally, there can be no question that Mandamus is the only remedy, all other avenues having been exhausted.

 

 

Conclusion and Prayer

 

The Petitioner has long sought a fair hearing on her matter and on it’s merits.  She has diligently sought to give birth to Justice, but there have been undertakers in the delivery room throughout this ordeal. 

 

Herein she has shown where she has a clear right to the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeal’s acceptance of her Attorney In Fact’s execution of her post-Conviction Relief in her behalf.  She has shown the failure of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals in accepting such.  She has displayed the fact that Mandamus is the only remedy in the search for Justice.

12

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, premises considered, it is so prayed this Honourable Court issue it’s Writ of Mandamus against the Respondent to vacate it’s order of April 10, 2006 and accept as genuine and lawful the Power Of Attorney, Attorney in Fact execution and signature.

 

It is so prayed.

Petition / Prayer For Reconsideration

 

 

 

Comes Now the Petitioner, Gilda Marie Schoonover, Pro-se, an inmate within the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, currently housed at the Mabel Basset Correctional Center, 29501 Kickapoo Road, McLoud Oklahoma, under the direct care, custody and supervision of Millicent-Newton Embry, Warden, and humbly prays this honourable Court to reconsider it’s decision in the above styled and numbered matter for reasons herein:

 

1.       This Petitioner filed a timely appeal from an adverse ruling in a Post-Conviction Relief Application from the District Court of Mayes County, the honorable Judge Dynda Post presiding.

 

15

          This appeal was filed personally and by hand delivery by the Petitioner’s husband, John E. Schoonover on January 3, 2006, and accepted by the Clerk of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, and was signed by the Petitioner’s husband acting as her Attorney In Fact through Power of Attorney. 

 

2.       Following adequate time, this Petitioner, by the same means and signature, filed her Motion for Summary Disposition with the Court of Criminal Appeals on April 4, 2006.

 

3        The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals ruled the Appeal void and unacceptable due to the form of signature, that is to say the signing by her Attorney In Fact from the Power of Attorney, on October 24, 2005. 

 

The OCCA failed to reach the merits of the Appeal and simply dismissed for signature as noted above.

 

4.       From this ruling of dismissal due to signature this Petitioner filed her Application for Mandamus with this Honourable Court, hand delivered and signed by her Attorney In Fact, John E. Schoonover and the proper filing fee was rendered by check on May 22, 2006. 

 

5.       This Court was asked to rule only on the validity of the signature, executed by John E. Schoonover, Attorney – In – Fact, that was presented to the OCCA and ruled invalid.

 

16

6.       This Honourable Court declined jurisdiction citing State ex rel. Henry v. Mahler, 786 P.2d 82, the Oklahoma Constitution at Article 4 Section 7, stating the OCCA, by Article 4 Section 7, has jurisdiction over Criminal matters. 

 

Your honors, this Petitioner has no fault with this ruling had she asked this Court to rule on matters of Criminal law, or her Criminal Appeal as presented to the OCCA.  The Oklahoma Constitution does in fact give the OCCA original jurisdiction to rule on and in all Criminal matters, and this Court has further upheld such separation in such cases as Mahler, supra, and others.

 

However, the Petitioner has not asked, in the matter here at bar, for this Honourable Court to usurp the authority and jurisdiction of the OCCA, and rule on any criminal matters before the OCCA.  Rather, she asked in the pleading for this Honourable Court to assume jurisdiction for the purpose of:

 

1.       Ruling on the validity of the signature by the Attorney In Fact, as the Power Of Attorney Document is a legal and binding contract and, as such, “When entered into freely, and voluntarily, shall be held sacred and shall be enforced by the Courts of Justice, and we are not lightly to interfere with this freedom of contract.”  United States S.Ct. as cited in Dufford v. Nowakoski, 4 A. 2d 314, 125 N.N.E. 262 {1939}

 

2.       Should the signature be valid, to return the matter to the OCCA with instructions to rule on the criminal matters as presented to them on the merits of the Appeal.

17

 

 

Neither of these prays propose that this Court interfere in a criminal matter in any way.  What the pleading does is ask this Court to enter judgment on the validity of a signature that the OCCA ruled invalid.  This is clearly a civil matter, not a criminal matter, and should have been, and should be treated as such.  The validity of any signature is a civil matter.  The appointment by Power Of Attorney of an Attorney –In - Fact and the validity of such is clearly a civil matter. 

 

Again, this Petitioner has not asked this Court to violate Article 4 Section 7 of the Oklahoma Constitution and rule on merits of a criminal nature, only on the signature’s validity as shown above as that of a licensed Attorney-In-Fact, licensed as such by the Power Of Attorney contract.

 

The first question, that of the validity of the signature, was apparently answered by this Court’s acceptance of the same signature as valid.

 

This Court must have misinterpreted this lay-person’s pleading to have ruled as it did citing Article 4 Section 7 of the Oklahoma Constitution and Mahler, citing no jurisdiction for criminal matters.  It is long held a Pro Se pleading be given broad latitude as to form.  See Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 [1972] and Hall v. Bellman, 935 F2d, 106 10th Cir. [1991].

 

18

Therefore, this Honourable Court having accepted as valid the signature in question, it is now humbly and respectfully prayed, premises considered, that this Honourable Court reconsider it’s order of June 12, 2006, and accept it’s jurisdiction in the pleading, said pleading being of a civil nature, and return the matter to the OCCA with instructions to accept the valid signature of John Schoonover as Attorney In Fact for Gilda Marie Schoonover and accept their [Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals] jurisdiction and rule on the Criminal Appeal on the merits of the Appeal as presented.

 

It is so prayed as a matter of Justice and to uphold the dignity of the State of Oklahoma.

 

                   Respectfully Submitted,

 

                           Signed:        Gilda Marie Schoonover    

                                                 Gilda Marie Schoonover

This Motion was dismissed with no explanation.

 

19

 

 

 

 

The Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma responded June 12, taking only three weeks to write the order:

 

 

“The Petitioner’s application for the writ of mandamus, treated as an application to assume original jurisdiction for a writ to the Court of Criminal appeals, is denied.  State ex rel Henry v. Mahler, 1990 OK 3 786 P.2d 82.  DONE BY ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT IN CONFERENCE THIS 12TH day of June, 2006.”

 

Having an understanding of the writ asked for one is perplexed at how five educated judges can conclude that we asked that they “assume original jurisdiction” of anything!  I was taught during adolescence not to “assume” anything as, as the word itself is composed of three words that makes an ass [out of] u [and] me!  I do not appreciate them treating me like an ass.  I have intelligence.  I do not like it being insulted.  I would think that they would have greater dignity.

 

Henry v. Mahler  concerns a criminal matter and sentencing.  The Supreme Court is a civil court and does not assume jurisdiction over criminal matters.  They did, however, in fact, “assume original jurisdiction” in Mahler and then dismissed Mahler’s plea.  After the case was filed in the Supreme Court the issue was moot due to action “by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals when it issued its Order of Reconsideration.” 

 

From the other side of their mouth they “do not consider this matter [Mahler] to be moot.”  They quote the OCCA, that this issue is “properly a matter for the Oklahoma Supreme Court,” as it is “an administrative procedure.”  Just as is the case at bar! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

20

They conclude their denial of relief for Mahler  with this statement:

           “Parties may not circumvent the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Criminal Appeals by filing an original action in this Court when they disagree with that Court’s rulings.”

 

The “Power Of Attorney” that designated John Schoonover as “attorney in fact” for Gilda Marie Schoonover is a legal binding contract.  So what does The Supreme Court say about contracts?: 

 

“We are not unmindful that ‘public policy requires . . . that men of full age and competent understanding shall have the utmost liberty of contracting, and that their contracts when entered into freely and voluntarily, shall be held sacred and shall be enforced by the courts of justice,’ and that we are not lightly to interfere with this freedom of contract.”

 

Quoted from Rafferty v. Nowakoski, A.2d 314, 125 N.J.E. 262, {1939}, when I was two years old.  It is not a new law!

 

It is clear in our plea that we did not ask the Supreme Court of Oklahoma to “assume original jurisdiction” in the criminal matter.  Two young friends not yet graduated from Junior High School that have read the plea clearly understood what we asked for, how can the Supreme Court not understand that all we have asked them to do is to compel the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to abide by the above law concerning contracts; specifically that of Power Of Attorney that the Supreme Court itself complied with or they would not have accepted the plea to cow to the OCCA and improperly deny it!  

 

Judge Post would not do her duty and designated Charles Ramsey to write ‘her’ opinion of the Post Conviction Relief for her. 

 

The OCCA made a rule to circumvent the legal document of Power Of Attorney so they would not have to shoulder any responsibility!

 

21

The Supreme Court of Oklahoma “does not understand” what we have asked for, which is that the law be upheld, so writes that they “assume” something not fact and thus “denied” their responsibility to uphold the Law of Oklahoma, the Law of the other 49 States, the Law that is centuries old and considered sacred by the Supreme Court of our country and all of the provinces under the Crown around the world!

 

“Our judicial system may not be the greatest, but it’s all we have.” 

 

Whose fault is that!!!  Certainly not the Quakers who, when they see a problem, “Can not walk away in ignorance.”

 

Six million Jews saw a problem and did not unite against Hitler. 

 

I am not asking that six million individuals stand up for Justice.  I am not trying to save six million innocent people.  I writing this for that 10% Janet Reno says are Wrongfully Convicted.  For one, in particular, that is absolutely and totally innocent!  One who has been tortured by our State for over five long years who has done absolutely nothing to spend one single hour behind bars. 

 

That one, with a life sentence, will die in a cage behind prison walls an innocent woman because the Supreme Court of Oklahoma ‘covers’ for the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals who ‘covers’ for The Honorable Judge Dynda Post who ‘covers’ for her Charles Ramsey who protects his George Klatt who not only perjured the Probable Cause Affidavit and is the only one who could have inflicted the multiple fractures Charles Ramsey lamented to the jury for Benjamin’s brains to “bulge, squish and gush out the top of his head” and who could be responsible for the slaughter of Laura Bible and the Freeman family.  Who knows how many others?

 

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case.  Most Pro-se attempts at getting Justice from our courts are dismissed for such reasons as “an i is not crossed or a t not dotted,” words misspelled or, as in this case, they don’t like how Marie signed the appeal; they don’t like that no words are minced, it exposes corruption of their colleagues in the lower courts.

 

22

I received a personal letter from one of the judges: “It is improper for you to file complaints simply because you do not like our decision.”  Hell!  The decisions I attacked are wrong and against the law! 

 

It is against the law to pervert Justice!

 

 

I receive another letter from one of the judges:  “It is improper for you to contact us to talk about your case.  You must do this through your attorney.” 

 

I do not have an attorney!  The judge has placed a barrier between me and Justice! 

 

This is common for Pro-se applicants.  They are Pro-se because they cannot afford an attorney; thus cannot buy Justice.  For this reason most Pro-se applicants fail for  frivolous reasons. 

 

This ‘Pro-se’ advocate is also not afraid to call a spade a spade. 

 

Judge Post is not an isolated rogue.  Unfortunately.  An “isolated case” would be retiring Judge Thompson from Sapulpa Oklahoma who got caught exposing himself and playing with sex toys while on the bench.  

 

Lets focus on him and cover the front pages with his trial and it makes it easier to gloss over and sweep under the carpet the others, like Judge Post, who pervert the law.  Taking it into their own hands and writing the rules as they go along.  Making criminals out of innocent people. Judges who know certain defendants are innocent and advise that a “nolo contendere” plea is the same as a “not guilty” plea.    Then threatening their manufactured criminals if they make any attempts at seeking Justice.  “Be careful what you ask for” is the comment of one judge who further added, “If you appeal [my decision], you will have to post bond or go back to jail.”

 

 

 

 

23

Appropriate advice from a judge to an innocent beaten down and defeated indigent defendant who has languished in a condemned jail for months because reasonable affordable bail was not assessed would be to make an “Alford” plea.  But then the law would be upheld and no outlandish income fines would be levied; there would not be one more “State manufactured felon.” 

 

Oklahoma already has the proud status of having the largest women’s prison in the world.  The highest population of women prisoners per capita  of any state.  Are Oklahomans so ignorant that we simply raise more women criminals than anyone else in the world?  I hardly think so.  With the help of our Dirty Knights, we manufacture criminals.  That is good business for the lawyers, good business for the prosecutors, good business for the judges.  Rather expensive for tax payers.  We spend more on criminals [both real and State manufactured] than we spend on school children. 

 

Do we not have enough real criminals that we don’t have to manufacture innocent ones?

 

I filed the “MOTION TO EXHUME THE TRUTH” in the Mayes County District Court July 3, 2006. 

 

If Benjamin is exhumed and there are multiple fractures as Charles Ramsey lamented to the Jury that could not have been accidental, we have the radiologist MRI that shows NO such fractures when Benjamin was admitted to St. Francis.  They were manufactured by a Knight in Dirty Armour while Benjamin was a patient at St. Francis.  There is no question what Dirty Knight was with Benjamin immediately after surgery by Dr. Fell and the hour of Benjamin’s death.

 

If Benjamin is exhumed and there are no multiple fractures as Charles Ramsey tricked Dr. Barton into testifying about and no fractures for Charles Ramsey to tell the jury of Benjamin’s “Brains bulging, squishing, gushing out the top of his head for forty five minutes” then we know Charles Ramsey is a liar that would send an innocent woman to prison to die.  

 

 

24

It is difficult for me to fathom that our Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals would not want to get to the bottom of this in the interest of Justice. 

 

It is difficult for me to fathom that our Oklahoma Supreme Court would not enforce the age old Power Of Attorney law and compel the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to rule on the merits of the appeal in the interest of Justice.

 

 

 

Justice is relegated to the rumble seat

to favour the comfort of colleagues.

 

 

God bless our Oklahoma Knights in Dirty Armour.

This cocklebur will not go away.  I am preparing a Federal Appeal to the Northern District Court of Oklahoma in Tulsa.  Hopefully I can find an attorney with knowledge and balls to stand up for Justice and help me with my quest for Justice for Little Insignificant Marie.
