Dear Judge Keller,
I am co~ing to you in an attempt at preventing a furtherance
of a miscarriage of justice. I am in dire straits, and I am
pleading for help!
M. Ariel Payan is my Appellate Attorney of record, and I have
an irrepairable Conflict of Interest with Payan.
As you can see by the enclosed documents and civil rights
complaints, Payan and his wife are more than material witnesses in
criminal conduct and gross violations of State and Federal law,
Texas and United States Constitution's Rights of Due Process,
Judicial Misconduct on the State Trial Judge, Karen Sage Complaint
No. CJC No. 14-0~26-01, and egregious violations of the American
Bar Association Model Rules of Professional Conduct, by Travis
County District Attorney's Holly Taylor, my Prosecutor, Susan
Oswalt, Greg Coxx and RoseMary Lehmberg, and my two trial attor-
neys, Jackie Wood and Tamera: Needles, and Payan hims~lf.
This fundamental miscarriage of justice and obscene Depriv-
ation of Rights not only to myself, but my co-defendant, Mary-Jo
Woodall as well. The State's malicious and vindictive efforts to
cover multiple felonies, including Attempted Murder, through Payan's
negligence and abandonment caused me to file a 132 page Brief with
over 1800 pages and photos, not including the two co's of Tri~l
Court records in a Writ of Habeas Corpus received by your office,
WR82,475-01 on 11/24/14. This after being dismissed by Sage, in
another innapropriate action, as she is the subject of a Judicial
Misconduct complaint and a Federal Civil Rights Complaints on her,
and her refusal to act on my Motion(s) To Remove Counsel and Bond
For Certain Applicant's leaves me wrongfully imprisoned.
I have not been conferred with over, nor provided a copy of
Appellate Counsel's M. Ariel Payan's Brief. However, I have been
informed through outside sources, that he has made several Patently_
False and Malicious statements in the Brief that must be Adamantly
objected to!
According to Jeffery Kyle, Clerk, Third Court of Appeals,
that Court cannot remove Payan, and I cannot be present at oral
arguments. I have bar grievances and civil rights complaints
filed against Payan and any representation he provides me is a fur-
therance of this miscarriage of justice.
Your Honor, how do I get rid of Payan and get a conflict free
attorney?
Respectfully,
Charlie Malouff

Mr. Payan,
I want to be sure there is no doubt as to the irreparable Conflict of Interest in your representation. This is not a politically correct
letter nor is it intended to be. I don't know what they taught you in LAW SCHOOL, but I will tell you what they taught us in the
POLICE ACADEMY.
Attempted Murder is a CRIME. Sabotage is a CRIME. Destruction of a Federally Funded Energy Project is a CRIME. Theft of
Trade Secrets is a CRIME. Industrial Espionage is a CRIME. Destruction of Evidence is a CRIME. Theft is a CRIME. Abuse
of Office is a CRIME. Official Oppression is a CRIME. Conspiracy is a CRIME. OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE is a CRIME.
ALL found in the Texas Penal Code and/or the United States Code. Do I need to keep going? Wood fucked my case because
of her reliance that her "best friend", Sage, would show her favoritism.
The windmills in the Jonestown Wind Project were SABOTAGED. That is a CRIME. There are POLICE REPORTS FILED
months BEFORE the Gestapo showed up at my door. People tried to KILL me .. not once, but twice! {They should have gotten
me when they had the chance. Fortunately, God wasn't ready for me.) That is a CRIME x2. Toby Miller and his fuckbuddy
Lori Carter are covering up multiple felonies (CRIMES) committed by Miller and his cohorts, and CONDONED by Holly Taylor,
YOUR BUDDY, and the District Attorney. And, Sage violated my right to due process, IN ADDITION to committing CRIMES for
pecuniary interests in her re-election. MY constitutional rights have been GROTESQUELY violated, leaving Mary Jo out of this
for the moment. Am I pissed ... YOU FUCKING BET I AM. Do I have a right to be pissed .. YOU FUCKING BET I DO!! Am I
going to sit around and let you fuck me some more? NO FUCKING WAY!
You, Jackie and Tamara made those statements, and at the time were sincere in your comments. You had no way to know my
reaction. The fact that you said in your email ... the statements "WE" made ..... "WE" means not only is that an admission that
not only you but at least two of you, DID make them, but the three of you are now getting your stories together because YOU
THREE FUCKED UP. THAT, MR. PAYAN, is CONSPIRACY to OBSTRUCT JUSTICE (do I need to give you the Black's
definition of OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE?), because not only did I file the Judicial Misconduct against Sage (which YOU have
refused to do) I filed a CRIMINAL COMPLAINT (which YOU did not do either) with the Texas Attorney General's Office for
Abuse of Office for Pecuniary Interest, and Official Oppression. And, your attempt to thwart that by trying to suck wind on your
statements. The fact is, that is OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. A CRIME. CONSPIRACY, also a CRIME, is two or more
persons, with the intent... and the three of you knowingly and intentionally trying to thwart criminal charges against Jackie
Wood's "best friend" Karen Sage, is CONSPIRACY. AND, I would bet a dollar to a -doughnut, you have discussed this with not
only your wife, but your_ pal Holly Taylor and her husband .. as you said, "We are a tight nit group and we all talk." .Further adding
to your efforts to OBSTRUCT JUSTICE because no one has filed any motions or made any complaints to the Attorney General
or U.S. Attorney. Not only in the Abuse of Office by Sage, but in the Destruction of a Federal Energy Project. In addition to
your inaction CRIMINAL CONDUCT, it violates the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Conduct 8.04 (4).
You ARE a material witness to CRIMES, and Professional Misconduct Mr. Payan. As a material witness in both State and
Federal CRIMINAL actions, and professional license administrative action, you cannot represent me, or stay on as my counsel
for ANY length of time, as each day you remain violates my right to due process, and is furtherance of your intentional
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE as you are doing nothing in light of your responsibility to report. I didnt put up with Miller and
Cook's criminal conduct and I wont put up with Sages or yours.
Sage and the District Attorney, with their biased Austin American Statesman (go read the articles during my trial), may control
what happens in their little circle, but I PROMISE, I will be out of here shortly and I WILL BE ALL OVER THE INTERNET,
INTERNATIONAL NEWS AND WASHINGTON DC. This was FEDERAL FUNDS!! And those are FEDERAL CRIMES begin
COVERED UP!!
So, like I said. I will make this very Clear. Get OFF my case and get me an attorney who's spouse does not work for the District
Attorney, who is NOT fucking Toby Miller, his wife, Lori Carter, Jackie Wood or Tamara Needles or is 'best friends" with Karen
Sage before you dig yourself deeper into CRIMINAL CONDUCT.

SUBJECT: Conflict of Interest
DATE: 05/23/2014 12:09:23 PM

Mr. Payan,
In light of the circumstances, I have given this ser~ous thought. I feel the irreparable Conflict of Interest has come to pass.
I have filed a Judicial Misconduct with the State Judicial Commission, a formal complaint with the TX Attorney General, formal
complaints to Congressmen Bob Goodlatte, Chairman House Judiciary Committee; Daryl lssa Chairman House Oversight
Committee; Senator Ted Cruz; and the U.S. Department of Justice. I am in the process of contacting numerous international
news agencies. Austin news has proven to be biased. As I said in my previous letter, I have NO INTENTION. of letting this
~~ .
We both know you and Jackie made those statements. Your earlier response saying they were "taken out of context" is an
admission they were made. Sucking wind now to say they were out of context, considering the magnitude of circumstance,
doesn't cut it with me. We both know Sage "GOT IT". She knew I was innocent. She knew Taylor was still hiding Brady. She
knew Carter and Miller were liars and full of shit. Speaking of SHIT, she read just about every piece of discover BEFORE it was
brought into trial. That is in trial statements early on with Joe Turner, over Lori Carter's, multi-author, original police report that
she LIED about on the stand, trying to pass off a 25 page document when it the actual report was over 225 pages and actually
ended up being even larger.
Sage's decisions WERE POLITICALLY motivated. SOMEONE WANTS THAT WIND ENERGY PROJECT DESTROYED.
Pecuniary interest is illegal. Plain and simple. That said, you are now a hostile defense witness in criminal allegations against
Abuse of Office for Pecuniary Interest, Official Oppression, Judicial Misconduct and whatever else comes out of this. AND,
since there will be no attorney client privilege, you are also subject to interrogation over what you do know about the case in
general, as this is a COVER UP FOR MULTIPLE FELONIES AND CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATIONS.
What needs to be done immediately is a demand for new trial considering these allegations, a change of venue, and formal
criminal investigations. Her denial of these motions is further proof of her politically motivated intentions to convict and imprison
INNOCENT PEOPLE!
As a material witness, who is going to be contradictory to my allegations, I cannot in any way see how you can effectively give
me the zealous advocacy I am entitled to, or how, in any way shape or fashion, I can have any attorney client privilege with you,
let alone trust in your ability to provide me effective counsel. Your attitude about Sage, and your relationship with Holly Taylor
and the District Attorney's Office, is too compromised to give me effective representation against Wrongful Conviction, False
Imprisonment and the Abuse of Office and Official Oppression for Pecuniary Interest.
I am still working on getting a polygraph examiner. Thanks to the Debarment action by DOE, that has been pushed back a
little. The Judicial Misconduct is addressed in that action too. I have demanded, as my right under the Code of Federal
Regulations to have a hearing, and I have demanded that hearing be in front of both Congressional and Senate committees.
Copies of my letters to DOE and OPR have been sent to multiple legislators and others.
I stand by my request of you finding me an attorney who's spouse does not work for the District Attorney; is best friends with
Sage or anyone at the DA; or is fucking Toby Miller, Lori Carter, Jackie Wood or Tamara Needles. This needs to be done as
soon, as possible as further delay will only be taken as intentional action to continue to violate my rights and exacerbate the
COVER UP of Attempted Murder, the Destruction of a Federally Funded Energy Project, Theft of Trade Secrets, Destruction of
Evidence, Abuse of Office, Official Oppression, Coercion, Falsifying Time Sheets, Malfeasance by Federal Agents, Corruption,
Miranda and Brady Violations, Selective Prosecution, Prosecutorial and Judicial Misconduct.

'Mr. Malouff,
I certainly respect your efforts.
the
.....__trial. transcript is due by 4-2 according to the 3rd court of appeals web site
the court reporter has requested a 30 day extension to turn in you record
as I put in my initial letter to you, this is a long process and will take quite a bit of time.
for instance at the current rate it is taking to put the record together, I would not be surprised if the appellant's brief is not filed till
september or october, or possibly later.
most jury trials take 3 to 5 days and have less than 50 exhibits, and the records are turned in within 180 days of sentence. Your
trial was a month long, and the volume of exhibits exceeds that of a capital murder trial. that means it takes loriger, no matter
how inpatient a person gets, it takes a long time.
The delay is standard, read the initial letter I sent you again. Whatever Judge Sages decisions were or the rationale behind
them, _they have no bearing on the procedures of the 3rd Court.
Also I think you are misconstruing what~told you about the 'political' nature of the rulings on certain of your motions, and
pulling that one phrase out of context otOU'fconversation.

Mr. Ariel Payan
1012 Rio Grande
Austin, TX 78701
Dear Mr. Payan,
As you know, I am a decorated, and honorably retired, chief of police, and Military Veteran with 29 years service to my country.
I was shit on by the government for the conduct of another, while I was off fighting a war, back in 2006. While I tried to put in for
a Presidential Pardon, it was NOT denied and left open for me to re-apply. Recently, I found the United States v James V Vest
case, and it is clear what the intent of Congress was on those laws, further infuriating me as to the misconduct and abuse of ·
power of the government. Now I am in jail for crimes I did not commit, perpetuated by the cover up of criminal conduct by
persons in positions of trust in the government, and decisions made by a judge for picunary interest.
The case against me here is not just a simple abuse of power, but an outrageous and unconstitutionally oppressive miscarriage
of justice. We are talking about violations of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments, Articles I and II
of the U.S. Constituti.on, I dont know all of the Texas Constitution violations (by amendment or article), and multiple violations of
Federal and State criminal· laws, by the police, prosecutor and state trial judge, compounded by the ineffective assistance of my
trial attorney who is also the judges best friend, and now further complicated by the Department of Energy in Washington, DC,
at the urgance of the Travis County District Attorney. ·
In addition to responding to the Department of Energy, I have sent a formal complaint to the US Department of Justice, Office of
Professional Responsibility, for an official investigation. Additionally, I am doing everything in my power to get a Congressional
Investigation into this case, and the conduct of DOE, the District Attorney, Miller and Sage. I have had it. I am NOT a criminal
minded person! ·
There is no question the statements made in my allegations regarding Sage are true, and will be shown as true in multiple
polygraph examinations. I have no intention of letting that go. I have found several cases now where the judges ruled against
the attorneys in similar cases, stating "it is not the context of the statements made by the attorney, but the fact that the attorney
made the statements."
It is clear this is a complicated and complex case. It is also clear that I have multiple grounds of Ineffective Assistance of
Counsel, and Bar Grievances against Jackie and Tamara and Wannamaker, and a Judicial Misconduct on Sage.
Cutting to the chase, you know as well as I do, your "good old boy we are lawyer buddies association", is going to do what you
can to fight me in my arguments and grievances. I expect that. I will be out of here in 8 months. Shortly thereafter, I will parole
out of TDC should I go there. I promise all my grievances, supporting documents and video, and polygraph results will be
posted all over the internet and on TV. Austin papers may be biased in favor of the DA, but international news loves US
government abuse to its own people. Social media has proven its effective against government oppression.
That said, right now there is a crack in the sidewalk you and I are walking on. While I do not want to see it become an
uncrossable gorge, I have been denied my rights to see the evidence against me by Jackie, along with her constant refusal to
get me important court. documents and evidence I left with her prior to my incarceration. Not just for my federal case, but for
important exculpatory review for my state case. I am NOT an idiot. As she said, no one knows more about my case than I do.
There is NO RECORD on file of Jackie, or Tamara EVER coming to Bastrop to see me. There should only be three visits
during the times I was incarcerated in Travis County Jail of their visits, and I think the longest was 45 minutes. THAT IS
BULLS HIT for a capital case that is as complicated and complex as this. As you said, my trial was longer than a capital murder
trial, and we didnt put on a defense because Jackie Wood KNEW Sage "has my back." You know it and so do I. And, so do
they! Then, to top it off with this shit with Sage and her re-election ...
Right now, I really feel it is in both of our best interest you consider recusing yourself from my counsel. The facts that you will
not file complaints with the Judicial Commission against Sage, or the Bar against Wood, or file a motion for a new trial; your
wife works for the District Attorney and the statements you made regarding Sage; your telling me to my face, that day of the last
TRULINCS 66089179 - MALOUFF, CHARLIE - Unit: BAS-C-A
hearing with Sage, you were going to argue Taylor's motions and challenge Carter's Affidavit, and you stood there and did
nothing, has disintegrated and prejudiced any level of trustworthiness that has been developed between us, so far. And, to lie
about those statements will irrepairably disintegrate any level of honesty that I have in respect for you as an officer of the court,
further prejudicing my rights to due process and a fair appeal. I already lost a fair trial, by people I was supposed to trust.
However, in the interest of fairness, and the benefit of the doubt to your integrity and intentions as an officer of the court, at this
stage, please tell me how you think this crack can be patched? If it cannot be patched, before you become a target of more
critical oversight, micromanagement and lAC, please consider finding me an appellate attorney who's spouse does not work for
the District Attorney; is best friends with Sage; is not fucking Toby Miller, Lori Carter, Jackie Wood or Tamara Needles; and,
·who is experienced in both Texas and Federal Constitutional laws in a complex and complicated case, further compounded by
the DOE"s latest act of Official Oppression at the behest of the Travis County District Attorney.
I admit, I AM an ASSHOLE!! I have never denied that. I will tell you that to your face and put it in writing. Being an asshole
does not make me a criminal. But, I am also a fair person, and every man carries his own weight, integrity, honesty and
trustworthiness. If you think you have the balls, integrity, and honesty to step up to the plate and not fuck me around anymore,
please arrange to come visit with me in a face to face and let's get this worked out. Otherwise, as time is of the essence, and in
both of our interests, please find me a competent appellate attorney without the baggage stated above, to zealously, honestly
and ethically represent me, and move on.
Respectfully,
~

Mr. Payan,
Both Jackie and Tamara told me that " ... Holly Taylor should not be prosecuting this case." YOU told me Holly Taylor should not
have P,.osecuted this case. Jackie and Tamara both told me there needed to be a Special Prosecutor. This was AFTER 1
sUIDnitted my 2255 and Jackie and Joe Turner both got copies of it. I cannot believe that they did not address this to the Court.
My 2255 alleging Police Misconduct and Selective Prosecution was submitted over a month before my state trial. It boggles me
to believe that none of the newspapers did not ·contact Karen Sage for comment before or during my trial. If not, they sure as
heck contacted the DA. And, because Karen Sage made her decisions to deny me my motions for mistrial, dismissal, Franks
hearing and other motions, for POLITICAL considerations, someone I am sure intimately GOilnected to Rosemary Lehmberg,
contacted her. I WILL find out who. Just a matter of when~ Holly Taylor, m~ prosecutor, was specifically named in accusations
of the covering up of criminal conduct, Constitutional .and Civil Rights violations and violations of Federal law in my 2255. Yet
she still stayed on as my prosecutor. What part of violation's of the Constitution and Due Process am I missing??
The Preamble: A Lawer's Responsibilities in the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct (see attached), Section 1 states you are
my representative and an officer of the legal system and that you have an obligation to maintain he highest standards of ethical
conduct. Section 2 states, as my advocate you have a responsibility tci zealously defend me. Section 3 says you are to
zealously pursue my interests within the bounds of the law. My instructions and complaints not only fall within the bounds of the
law under the Constitution's of both Texas and the United States, but also the very rules that regulate you as attorney's and
judges. 1have legitimate complaints of violations of law. Section 8 says you have a responsibility to assure these regulations
are undertaken in public interest and not in self-interested concern and any neglect of these responsibilities compromises both
the profession and the public interest. Consitutional violations of this magnitude are definately public interest.
The Texas Attorney General investigates the corruption of public officials. I am instructing you to, in addition to filing the
appropriate complaints with the Texas Bar Association, and Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct, file a formal complaint with
the AG. The Obstruction of Justice, covering up crimes under the color of authority, and for POLITICAL reasons are included in
the term CORRUPTION, as defined on page 397 of the Black's Law Dictionary, Ninth Edition.
YQ!!_need to read BOWEN and VIDRINE. Bot~ are beginning to pale i~ comparison in a precedent MISC~RRIAGE OF
JUSTICE. BOWEN was mostly the egregious conducf of the prosecution. VIDRINE was mosty the egreg1ous and outrageous
misconduct of the police. THIS not only involves the prosecutors, but the cops, elected officials, multiple government agencies,
local, state and Federal, AND the presiding state JUDGE. AND, the MALICIOUS, VINDICTIVE, and SELECTIVE, prosecution
of TWO. INNOCENT people FOR PERSONAL GAIN and POLITICAL FAVORTISM!!!!!I!!!I!!!I!!!!!!!!!I!

Mr. Payan,
The Supreme Court just ruled against Terry. That is how I found this. I have been yelling and screaming since the day I was
arrested, this case is NOT about fraud or deception, or insider information, but the COVERING UP of Miller's crimes,
Constitutional and Civil Rights violations by Carter and Taylor, and the DESTRUCTION OF A FEDERALLY FUNDED WIND
PROJECT BY DOE, THE DA AND JONESTOWN!! What part of FEDERAL CRIME do you people NOT understand? I said it
then, and I stand by it now!
Sage is a judge who supposedly "GOT IT," according to her BEST FRIEND, AND Tamara Needles, who has no stake in their
friendship. Political office does not give imunity to persons engaged in or in covering up crimes. There is NOTHING
MISCONSTRUED in my statements!!!
So you are aware, I was, a long time ago, directly involved in .SEVERAL elected offical corruption cases. Three specifically,
that I will address here, were, former Speaker of the House, Jim Wright, who took a forced retirement, former Congressman
Albert Bustamante, who finally got three years on contract fraud, but was involved in much more, and Bob Bullock, our former
Lt. Governor, who, in his early years; and when he was Comptroller, was directly connected with the Mafia Kingpin, Carlos
Marcello. It was I that brought that connection to light through an investigation I was conducting (Lead Investigator) over in
Houston. The outcome is irrelevant. He is gone. There are more. What is important now, is YOU, Jackie nor anyone else can .
tell me this is NOT a cover up to multiple crimes, state and federal. I can show you MULTIPLE cases, with convictions, of
elected officials, JUDGES included, in recent years, and in Texas alone, that were involved in corruption. More and more cases
against District Attorney's wrong doings are coming to light
I am VERY SERIOUS about my allegations and my intentions to get a federal investigation into this cover up. I am not doing
this just to blow smoke up peoples asses. There are pictures, and statements, and witnesses, and physical evidence to these
crimes!! Its called EVIDENCE. PHYSICAL EVIDENCE. You, as attorney's are officers of the court. You have a DUTY TO
REPORT! If it involves attorneys and judges playing games, so be it. It is already full of crooked cops and prosecutors.
1am NOT a criminal minded person and according to Jackie, EVERYONE knows we were WRONGED. Mary Jo and I already
knew this. Mary Jo committed NO CRIME and for that matter, I COMMITTED NO CRIME. There is absolutely NO WAY Mary
Jo could have ever gotten a fair trial in Sage's court, not after this blillshit. ·
1. 1told Jackie, Tom Walsh, Kristen and the first lady atty that was before Tamara, in the first big meeting in Jackie's office, that
we could not get a fair trial in Sage's court.
2. There needed to be a change of venue.
3. Jackie told me then that we didnt want a change of venue and "Karen is my best friend," and "this is good we have her."
4. Jackie and Tamara told me there needed to be a SPECIAL PROSECUTOR. Duh!
There is more. Please do not take me lightly, or ignore me on my instructions, or my participation in this appeal process. It will
not end up good. See you at polygraph.

Mr. Ariel Payan
Attorney at Law
1012 Rio Grande
Austin, Texas 78701
Re: Violations of The Texas Code of Judicial Conduct; Texas Rules of Professional
Conduct: Texas Disciplinary Rules of Conduct; Sixth Amendment Right of Due Process
Mr. Payan:
These issues need to be addressed now versus later. These are the facts of the above violations
of professional conduct and law:
1. When Jackie Wood was first appointed my trial counsel, I expressed serious concerns
regarding the integrity of the 299th District Judge, Karen Sage, because of her relationship
to the Travis County District Attorney, and the Democratic Party. I told her this case was
a case of malicious prosecution perpetrated by Travis County Deputy Sheriff, Toby
Miller and his friends at the District Attorney's office. Jackie told me Karen Sage was
"my best friend," and that their friendship was "a good thing," inferring judicial integrity.
2. In my last visit at the Travis CountyJail with Jackie Wood, just prior to trial, she again
told me Judge Karen Sage was her "best friend" and "Karen has my back." While I do
not have the jail records showing the exact date of the meeting, it was the meeting where
she left me documents addressing both sides witnesses after giving me an email dated 7-
22, 2013, 8:06a.m. (see attached). This was in the visiting room where I met you, on the
3rd floor.
3. During the course of the trial, juror's kept falling asleep. One time, as many as five jurors
were falling asleep and not paying attention. I brought this up to Tamara Needles, my co-
counsel and Jackie. Tamara told me as long as they were falling asleep on the
prosecution, that was a good thing. I made notes on the yellow tablets given to me by
counsel.
After the prosecution "rested," we excused to go back and confer in the visit room. Once
in there, we discussed the jurors falling asleep, and the situation with the jury and where
to go with the defense. According to Jackie and Tamara, we were "losing the jury." I
could see they were falling asleep, but I did not recognize that as "losing the jury." We
had only gone into the prosecution side, and it is incumbent on the defense attorney's to
keep them awake during the defense presentation. In that conversation both Tamara and
Jackie told me Sage "got it!" Jackie said, "Karen's got it!" She told me this several
times. She also said "Karen has my back!" We discussed having Dan Dodson, City
Administrator for the City of Jonestown, and Mike Fox, my former Installation
Supervisor, testifying. Jackie and Tamara both told me we had "disproved" the state's
case. Jackie said she was concerned we were losing the jury; and if we put on a defense
we might lose them. She said we had several week's worth of witnesses. Again, we
discussed at least putting on Dodson and Fox. Again, Jackie said, "Karen has my back!"
Jackie told me she has "a lot of experience with jury's," that I should "trust me" and we
should rest. Tamara was in and out of the room during a lot of the conversation. I told
Jackie I really wanted Fox and Dodson to testify. I was also mad over the Karlson issue.
Jackie said, he, (Karlson) said there was a stack of blank pre-signed papers. I told her I
wanted to see them. And, there was also a power chart, in addition to a video we had of a·
working prototype at the UT JJ Pickle Center, that Karlson had done the testing on, and
that Eric Graham created from Karlson's test somewhere in Discovery. And that the DA
was still hiding that if they had not offered it up. I told her Karlson's declaration was
similar to Fred Herber's because I used Karlson's to create Herber's. They would look
almost the same, side by side. She was insistent she wanted to rest. Jackie told me "trust
me!" I still <;rrgued for Dodson and Fox to testify. Again, she told me "Karen's got it!"
And, "We should rest." And, "trust me!" I told her "I trust you." The rest is history.
4. In our visit at the Travis County Jail, when you hand delivered your letter dated October
22, 2013, in a "let's cut to the chase" conversation, you told me "my wife works for the
prosecutor's office." "We are friends with Holly Taylor and I know her husband." And,
"We all talk." And, "It's a close knit group." You also told me "the judge's decisions
were political." And, ''The judge is not likely to decide on something that can effect her
election."
Combined, your statement's and Jackie's statement's regarding Karen Sage's decision's
based on "political" reasons, considering she is up for re-election, March, 2014, equate to
a violation of the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct, Canon 3, B(2), "A judge should be
faithful to the law and shall maintain professional competence in it. A judge shall not be .
swayed by partisan interests, public clamor or fear of criticism." And, (5) "A judge
shall perform judicial duties without bias or prejudice."
As in Henderson v. Perry, 399 F. Supp. 2d. 756, June 9, 2005 (Dist. Ct. 5th Cir)
( ... actuated by the instinct of political survival) for you. and Jackie to make those
independent statement's and observations, Sage is clearly concerned with getting political
support from the local Democratic Party, and not in the interests of justice. From this,
Karen Sage violated my rights to due process. Anthony v. Cain, U.S. Dist. LEXIS
100697 (Dist. Ct. 5th Cir. 2009) ( "A judge will, however, violate a defendant's due
process rights if he (she) is biased against the defendant or has an interest in the
outcome of the case."). Personal reward of getting votes and campaign contributions for
re-election, is having an "interest" in the case.
2
You cannot tell me that the public flack Sage got over the Nestande DWI case, that was
going on early in my trial process (we were both in the papers at the same time), or the
ongoing criminal/disbarment issues the Travis Comity District Attorney, Rosemary
Lehmberg, was going through at the same time of my trial (again sharing front page
coverage), were not weighing on her decisions that could adversely affect her political
support.
Sage heard testimony the jury did not. She was privy to behind closed door
conversations between the defense and the prosecutor. She listened to Miller admit to
falsifying timesheets and committing multiple felonies. She listened to Carter admit to
violating my Miranda and targeting me for free speech, both Constitutional 'violations.
She listened to other Government witnesses, some from agencies that have law ·
enforcement Criminal Investigation sections that reviewed the grant, and searched Mary
Jo Woodall's work computer weeks before Carter applied for her warrants, and the DA's
own forensic auditor all say there was no crime, when "she got it" as described by
Jackie and Tamara, and visibly observed by me, by her throwing her head to the side and
sitting back in her seat with a look of disgust. On August 20th, she even ruled that Carter
mislead the magistrate. It was clear _by the testimony of Carter and Miller, (in Sage's
own words) this was a "travesty of justice." Sage's failure to grant a mistrial, or dismiss
with prejudice, and her rulings and failures to rule on other motion's, her behavior
manifested this ongoing miscarriage of justice rendering my trial so fundamentally
unfair it violated my due process.
According to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Conduct, Rule 8.02 "A lawyer shall not
make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its
truth or falsity concerning the qualification or integrity of a judge." I do not believe you,
Jackie, or Tamara made those statements falsely or recklessly, therefore, I am taking
them as true. As such, judicial integrity over the fairness of my trial, and the eventual
plea bargain agreement of Mary Jo Woodall, based on a pretty good presumption she
would not have gotten a fair trial, is at issue, because Mary Jo never gave me insider
information, or provided me with information that was not authorized by policy or law.
And, the employees of the Texas Comptroller, State Energy Office, all said Mary Jo was
doing her job as proscribed 'by policy and law and there were numerous measures in place
to detect any fraud or wrongdoing. Not to mention, Martin Cano, the Chief of
Enforcement for the Investigations Division, testified HE, along with an IT person,
searched Mary Jo's work computer and a personal USB and gave it all back and allowed
her to continue working because there was no evidence of wrongdoing. In United
States v. Nolen, 172 F. 3d. 362 (5th & 11th Cir. Dec. 2006) the Court states Rule 8.2
"Solely proscribes false or reckless statements questioning judicial qualifications or
integrity."
3
I provided Jackie with a complete copy of my Federal2255 Motion to Vacate, Cause No.
A-13-CA-572-LY, (see attached) that was filed in Federal District Court, July 9th, 2013, a
month prior to our going to trial. In that motion, I allege corruption, cover-up,
destruction of evidence, the destruction of a Federally funded energy project, and police
misconduct, among other things, on the part of the District Attorney and others. That
Motion was also sent to all of the Austin news media outlets, Travis County
Commissioner's and Senator's and Congressmen. I intend to investigate if there was any
contact, from any party to Sage regarding this case prior to, or during trial, again
furthering integrity issues.
My next question is; does the Texas Disciplinary Rule of Professional Conduct Rule
8.03 (a) "A lawyer having knowledge that another lawyer has committed a violation of
applicable rules of professional conduct that raises a substantial question as to that
lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other respects shall inform
the appropriate disciplinary authority, apply to Sage? I know it applies to you, Jackie
and Tamara. While she is a judge, she is also a lawyer.
According to the Board of Directors of the State Bar of Texas, Model Rules of
Professional Conduct Rule 8.3 (1983), "A lawyer who knows that another lawyer has
committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a substantial
question of that lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other
respects shall inform the appropriate authority. Clemons v McNamee, U.S. Dist.
LEXIS 36916, May 2008 (5th Cir.); 2012 Bankr LEXIS 2306, In Re Jarvis Adventure
Bldg, LLC., May 2012 (5th Cir).
I, as a client, must be able to trust that my lawyer(s) will faithfully and zealously
represent me. Howell v. State Bar of Texas, 843 F. 2d. 205, ·1988 (5th Cir.), and making
a decision to rest without putting on a defense in such a high profile case, making the
front page of the papers daily, and that was inundated with police misconduct, selective
prosecution, Constitutional and civil rights violations because my lawyer(s) believe the
judge "has her back," who, unless was previously told so by that judge, would have no
way to know how the judge's ruling could go, but made such a strong showing in the
confidence of that belief, shows a complete disregard for a clients welfare. That
irresponsible and unethical conduct is not trail strategy. Especially when the judge,
who personally witnesses and listen's to the testimonies of the Government agents
admitting to multiple felonies and Constitutional and civil rights violations and continues
to not stop the trial, and rules against me il!- motions that have clearly provided legal
sufficiency in their claims.

While the doctrine of separation of powers in a Constitutional scheme of government
prohibit free judicial interference in the exercise of discretionary powers of attorney's in
criminal prosecutions, the judiciary has always borne the basic responsibility for
protecting individual's against unconstitutional invasions of their rights by the
Government. United States v Johnson, 577 F. 2d. 1304, 1308 (5th Cir 1978); United
States v Falk, 479 F.2d 616, 624 (7th Cir. 1965), quoting Stamler v Willis, 415 F 2d.
1365, 1369-70 (ih Cir. 1969), cert. denied sub. nom., Ichord v Stamler, 399 U.S. 929, 90
S. Ct. 2231, 26 L. Ed. 2d. 796 (1970). See United States v Butler, 297 U.S. 1, 62-63, 56
S. Ct. 312, 80 L. Ed. 477 (1936); Marbury v Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137, 2 L. Ed. 60
(1803); Calder v Ball 3 U.S. (3 Dall.) 386, 1 L. Ed. 648 (1798). See also A. Hamilton,
· Federalist Paper No. 78, reprinted. in Cook(e) (ed.) The Federalist 521--; 524-25 (1961).
This case falls into that rare situation in which the decision to prosecute was so abusive
of this discretion because it encroached on Constitutionally protected rights and the
judiciary must protect against unconstitutional deprivations, .not turn a blind eye for
political favoritism.
To rule in a separate hearing, on August 20, 2013, for Mary Jo Woodall, that Carter
"mislead" the magistrate on the Search Warrant Affidavit,· and (1) not to hold a full
Franks hearing in her case; (2) not to stop my trial to hold a full Franks hearing, and (3)
to tell me Carter's "misleading" did not apply to "my" search warrant affidavit, when that
very information was the foundation information on all of the search warrant affidavits in
the Government's case, is in error. Allowing evidence that was clearly fruits of the
poisonous tree from Carter's admission to violating my Miranda rights be admitted, for
"political" reasons is unethical.
For two experienced attorney's to tell me "she got it," plus my own personal observation-
a person who HONORABLY RETIRED ·from Law Enforcement with 29 years
experience that "she got it!" and for a third, experienced attorney, who regularly has
personal interaction with the very people who are prosecuting me to tell me the "the
judge's decisions were political." And, "The judge is not likely to decide on something
that can effect her election." And, for that judge to recognize the manifestation of a
"Travesty of Justice" (her words), and to rule as she did for "political" reasons, be they
for re-election, or as a favor to the District Attorney in the furtherance of ongoing Brady
violations, exculpatory evidence, the destruction of a Federally funded 1wind project, and
police misconduct, is an unethical miscarriage of justice and professional conduct.
While polygraph examinations are seldom, if ever, admissible into evidence in a criminal
procedure, they are allowed in Bar Association and Judicial Misconduct hearings. I am
making arraignments to take a polygraph regarding the aforementioned statements and
attached Sworn Affidavit. I challenge you, Jackie, and Tamar(ltO polygraph examination
5
too, as you told me she, Jackie, (and I assume you too) would claim trial strategy. This
is not any "strategy." Or, you can provide the examination independent of me and I will
take your examiner's test(s), or both. Preferably I would like to take both so there is no
discrepancy as to my telling the truth about these statements. I have already told Jackie I
am going to press the FBI to provide one for me.
I want all of this on the record in my appeal, and brought to the attention of the proper
authority as ~equired by the Rules of Disciplinary and Professional Conduct, and
Judicial Conduct.
My resume and a full copy of my 2255 Motion to Vacate, was provided to both Jackie,
and Joe Turner, showing the file date and my allegations against the Travis County
District Attorney right after filing July 91h.
I have over 20 years experience investigating police and state and federal elected
officials, and I do not make these allegations frivolously, or take their seriousness lightly.
Respectfully,

SWORN AFFIDAVIT
I, Charlie Malouff, the defendant in the 2991h District Court of Travis County, Case No.
13-904021, under the penalty of perjury, question the integrity of proceedings conducted
in this Case and make the following declaration:
1. When Jackie Wood was ftrst appointed my trial counsel, after Daniel H.
Wannamaker was relieved for a Conflict of Interest, (see Federal2255 Motion To
Vacate, Set Aside, or Correct Sentence Cause No. A-13-CA-572-LY), I expressed
serious concerns regarding the inability of getting a fair trial and integrity of the
299th District Judge, Katen Sage, because of her relationship to the Travi~ County
District Attorney, and the Democratic Party, and the selective and malicious
prosecution by the Travis County District Attorney's office.
2. I told her, this case was a case of malicious prosecution perpetrated by Travis
County Deputy Sheriff, Toby Miller and his frien.ds at the District Attorney's
office. Jackie told me Karen Sage was "my best friend," and that their
friendship was "a good thing," inferring to judicial integrity.
3. In my last visit at the Travis County Jail with Jackie Wood, just prior to trial, she
again told me Judge Karen Sage was her "best friend" and "Karen has my
back." While I do not have the jail records showing· the exact date of the
meeting, it was the meeting where she left me documents addressing both sides
witnesses after giving me an email dated 7-22, 2013, 8:06a.m. This was in the
visiting room on the 3rd floor.
4.. During the course of the trial, juror's kept falling asleep. One time, as many as
ftve jurors were falling asleep and not paying attention. I brought this up to
Tamara Needles, my co-counsel and Jackie, and I made notes on the yellow
tablets given to me by counsel.
5• After. the prosecution "rested," we excused to go back and confer in the visit
room. Once in there, we discussefthe jurors falling asleep, and the situation with
the jury and where to go with the defense. According to Jackie and Tamara we
were "losing the jury." I could see they were falling asleep, but did not recognize
that as "losing the jury." We had only gone into the prosecution side, and.to me
it is incumbent on the defense attorney's to keep them awakFtluring ~he defense
presentation. Not to quit on a "perception" when you have numerous
exculpatory defense witnesses and mounds of exculpatory documentary
evidence. . .
6. · In that conversation both Tamara and Jackie told me Sage "got it!" Jackie said,
"Karen's got it!" She told me this several ti~es. She also said "Karen has my .
back!"
1
7. We discussed at least having Dan Dodson, City Administrator for the City of
Jonestown, and Mike Fox, my former Installation Supervisor, testify. Jackie and
Tamara both told me we had "disproved" the state's case. Jackie said she was
concerned we were "losing the jury," and if we put on a defense we might lose
them. She said we had several week's worth of witnesses. Again, we discussed
at least putting on Dodson and Fox.
8. Again, Jackie said, "Karen has my back!"
9. Jackie told me she has "a lot of experience with jury's," that I should "trust
me" and we should rest. ·Tamara was in and out of the room during a lot of the
conversation.
10. I told Jackie I really wanted Fox and Dodson to testify. I was also mad over the
Karlson issue. Jackie said, he, (Karlson) said there was a stack of blank pre-
signed papers. I told her I wanted to see them, and that there was also a power
chart, in addition to a video we had of a working prototype at the UT JJ Pickle
Center, that Karlson had done the testing on, and that Eric Graham created from
Karlson's test somewhere in Discovery. And that the DA was still hiding that if
they had not offered it up. I told her Karlson's declaration was similar to Fred
Herber's because I used Karlson's to create Herber's; They would look almost
the same, side by side.
11 • She was insistent she wanted to rest. Jackie told me "trust me!" I still argued for
Dodson and Fox to testify. Again, she told me "Karen's got. it!" And, "We
should rest." And, "trust me!" In the end, I told her "I trust you."
12. After trial, in a visit at the Travis County Jail, with my appointed appellate
attorney, M. Ariel Payan, when he hand delivered a letter dated October 22,
2013, in a "let's cut to the chase" conversation, he told me "my wife works for
the prosecutor's office." "We are friends with Holly Taylor and I know her
husband." And, "We all talk." And, "It's a close knit group."
1 3. In the same conversation, he told me "the judge's decisions were political."
/
Arid, "The judge is not likely to decide on something that can effect her
election."
14. Over the next several months I sent Jackie Wood and . Ariel Payan. multiple letters
.
and email addressing what I felt was a compromise in the integrity of Karen Sage
and my trial, and never heard back from them. ".,.-
1 5. The Texas Disciplinary Rules of Conduct, Rule 8.02 states, "A lawyer shall not
make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or _with reckless disregard as
to its truth or falsity concerning the qualification or integrity of a judge."
16. I do not believe Jackie Wood or Ariel Payan ~ade' those statements falsely or
recklessly, and they should be taken as true. As" such, judicial integrity over the
fairness of my trial is at issue.
2
17. Also at issue is the plea bargain agreement of my co-defendant, Mary Jo Woodall.
This is based on a pretty good presumption she would not have gotten a fair trial-
because Mary Jo. never gave me insider information, or provided me with
information that was not authorized by policy or law, and if Karen Sage
compromised her integrity in my trial, then there is an unethical miscarriage of
justice and professional conduct in the prosecution of Mary Jo WoodalL
1 8. The Board of Directors of the State Bar of Texas, Model Rules of Professional
Conduct Rule "8.3 (1983) states, "A lawyer who knows that another lawyer has
committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a
substantial question of that lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a
lawyer in other respects shall inform the appropriate authority. .
19. I, as a client, must be able to trust that my lawyer(s) will faithfully and zealously
represent me. Making a decision to rest without putting on a defense in such a
high profile case, making the front page of the papers daily, and that was
inundated with police misconduct, selective prosecution, Constitutional and civil
rights violatimis because my lawyer(s) believe thejudge "has her back," who,
unless was previously told so by that judge, would have no way to know how the
judge's ruling could go, but made such a strong showing in the confidence of that
belief, shows a complete disregard for a clients welfare. That· irresponsible and
unethical conduct is not trail strategy.· .Especially when the judge, who, by her
own words, is concerned about a "Travesty of Justice" personally witnesses and
listen's to the testimonies of the Government agents admitting to multiple
felonies, Constitutional and civil rights violations, continues to not stop the trial,
and then rules against motions that have clearly provided legal sufficiency in their
claims.
20. The combined statement's of two of the three of my attorney's regarding Karen
Sage's decision's based on ''political" reasons, considering she is up for re-
election, March, 2014, violate the Texas Code of Judicial Conduct, Canon 3, B(2),
"A judge should be faithful to the la~ and shall maintain professional competence
in it. A judge shall not be swayed by partisan interests, public clamor or fear
of criticism." And, (5) "A judge shall perform judicial duties without bias or
prejudice."
21 • I have instructed my appellate. attorney, Ariel Payan, to pu['all of this on the .
~
record in my appeal, and be brought to the attention of the proper authority as
required by the Rules of Disciplinary and Professional Conduct, and Rules of
Judicial Conduct.
I declare under the penalty of perjury pursuant to 28 USC 1746, the foregoing is true and correct
to the best of my knowledge.

Wood suggested that one key prosecution witness, Deputy Toby Miller, "double dipped'" by

Jackie Wood took over my case from Daniel H. Wannamaker in November 2011. She was told
from the beginning of my representation that I was set up and that this case wa~ a cover up by the .
U.S. Department of Energy, the Travis County District Attorney, the Texas Comptroller and the
City of Jonestown, to the Destruction Of A Federally Funded Energy Project, and the other
· crimes of A~empted Murder, Theft of Trade Secrets, Abuse of Office, Destruction of Evidence,
Official Oppression, Coercion, Falsifying Tlffie Sheets, Malfeasance by Federal Agents, and
other crimes. And, that the flash bang diversionary devices I was accused of being in illegally in
possession of were planted in my shed, four days after I was arrested and still in jail, AFfER the
District Attorney searched and trashed. my house and the shed where they were located and
found nothing. As second string co-counsel, Tamara Needles, brou-ght in late after Wood's first
co-counsel vacated, would have been informed of all of this in bringing her up to speed as part of
the Defense Team.
I told Wood, in the presence of Tom Walsh, our investigator, Katrina, her paralegal, and her then
co-counsel, who I do not remember her name, as she did not stay long on the case, and was
replaced by Needles, that I could not get a fair trial because of the relationship of Judge Karen
Sage, the trial judge, and Rosemary Lehmberg, the District Attorney, Kirk Watson, and other
persons in the Capital Area Progressive Democrats .. Wood told me then, that Karen Sage was
"my best friend" and their friendship was a good thing, referri~g to her judicial integrity.
Tamara Needles is well versed in the personal "best friend" relationship between Jackie Wood
and Karen Sage.
In almost one year of incarceration, Tamara Needles and Jackie Wood visited me either four or
five times total, collectively amounting to about 1.5 hours of official visitation. The Travis
County Jail has the official visitation records and there are NO r_ecorded visits at FCI Bastrop.
This was a capital crimes case that was over a month just on the prosecution side, and im
expected up to six weeks of defense presentation.
· In Jackie Wood's last visit with me in the Travis County Jail, just prior to trial, she again told me
Karen Sage was her' ''bes·t friend" and "Karen has my back." While they may be "best
friends"," the way and meaning imposed on m:e by Jackie Wood, was that Sage would rule her
decisions in favor of her "best friend." I took it this way as Sage was so confident in -.~er
negligence to visit with me, after having told me "no one knows more about this case than you
do."
Tamara Needles and Jackie Wood JJLATANTLY LIED and DECEIVED me in their
FRAUDULENT and MISREPRESENTED (as defined above) relationship between Jackie
Wood and the trial judge, Karen Sage, and Wood's expectation of decisions, regarding me and
my case. Needles words, confidence, and intent were conduct that was impressed in a manor that
exhibited in the confidence Sage would decide key judicial decisions in favor of her "best
friend." This reliance on the ''best friend" relationship, based on the conduct of both Tamara
Needles and Jackie Wood, stated below, falls on the unethical and irresponsible conduct of
Tamara Needles.
According to the Texas Disciplinary RuleS of Conduct, Rule 8.02(a) "A lawyer shall not make
a statement the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity
concerning the qualification or integrity of a judge." This statement alone, with it intended
message that my trial counsel was expecting "best friend" favoritism from the trial judge in a
capital crime case. Tamara Needles violated Rule 8.02(a} whell she made the statements with
reckless disregard as to their truth or falsity concerning the integrity of Judge Karen Sage.
Sage heard testimony the jury did not. She was privy to behind· closed door conversations
between the defense and the prosecutor. She listened to Travis County Sheriff's Deputy Toby
Miller admit to falsifying timesheets and committing· multiple felonies. She heatd repeated
arguments of ongoing (and still ongoing) Brady violations. She listened to Travis County
District Attorney Investigator, Lori Carter admit to violating my Miranda and "targeting" me for
free speech, three major Constitutional violations. She listened to other Government
witnesses, some from agencies that have law enforcement Criminal Investigation sections that
reviewed the grant, and searched Mary Jo Woodall's work computer weeks before Carter
applied for her warrants, and the DA's own forensic auditor all say there was no crime, when
.,
"she got it" as described by Needles and Wood, and visibly observed by me, by her throwing
her head to the side and sitting back in her seat with a look of disgust. (Courtroom security
cameras should have that on tape). On August 20th, Sage ruled that Carter mislead the
magistrate. It was clear by the testimony of Carter and Miller, (in Sage's own words) this was a
" ••. travesty of justice." Sage's failure to grant a mistrial, or dismiss with prejudice, and her·
mlings and failures to rule on other motion's, in contrast to my attorney's expectation of
favoritism manifested an already ongoing miscarriage of justice~ and rendering my trial so
fundamentally unfair it violated my due pro~. Making this egregious unconstitutional
situation worse, was the irresponsible and unethical conduct of Needles and Wood in using
"best friend" favoritism as an excuse not to put on a defense.
Tamara Needles violated Rule 8.04 (a) (1) when she personally and, through the acts of
another, Jackie Wood, in conference just prior to the Defense resting, violated Rule 8.04 (3)
engaged in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit and- misrepresentation, again
impressing mi'"me that Karen Sage "got it!" and ''Karen's got ~t!" and Wood's statement,
"Karen's got my backt" and both Needles and Wood saying "trust me" and "we should rest"
violating Rule 8.04 (a) (5) ''state or imply an ability to influence improperly a government
agency or official", misrepresenting and deceiving me into believing, as Sage's "best friend"
they had already arranged for favored decisions from Sage and that I should throw away my
opportunity for a defense presentation that was ''several weeks" worth of exculpatory witnesses
and evidence. During this conversation I told both Needles and Wood I wanted to challenge
prosecution witnesses and at least have several of the Defense witnesses testify. They continued
to impress on nie Karen Sage "got It!" and "Karen's got it!" and "Karen's got my back!" and
"trust me" and ''we. should rest" There is no ethical or responsible trial strategy in
intentional deception and misrepresentation of the expected conduct of a trial judge. As
officers of the court~ their statements and conduct can only be taken as "true''. (See attached
Judicial Misconduct complaint).
I am a decorated and Honorably Retired Chief of Police and Mil~tary Veteran (see attached
resume and pardon petition that Sage heard testimony from me regarding the related case) and I
do not make these allegations frivolously, or take the severity of this complaint lightly.

words, but also any other conduct that amounts to a false assertion.
Jackie Wood took over my case from Daniel H. Wannamaker in-November 2011, who was
removed because of a Conflict of Interest. She was appointed by her "best friend", Karen Sage,
the trial judge. She was told from the beginning of my representation. that I was set up and that
this case was a cover up by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Travis County-District Attorney,
the Texas Comptroller and the City ofJonestown, to the Destruction Of A Federally Funded
Energy Project, and the other crimes of Attempted Murder, Theft ·of Trade Secrets, Abuse of
Office, Destruction of Evidence, Official Oppression, Coercion, Falsifying Time Sheets,
Malfeasance by Federal Agents, and other crimes. And, that the flash. bang diversionary devices I
was accused of being in illegally in possession of were planted in my shed, four days after I was
arrested and stiJI in jail, AFrER the District Attorney searched and trashed my house and the
shed where they were located and found: nothing. As second string co-counsel, Tama1ftNeedles,
brought in late after Wood's frrst co-counsel vacated, would have been informed of all of this in
bringing her up to speed as part of the Defense Teani.
I told Wood, in the presence of Tom Walsh, our investigator, Katrina, her paralegal, and her then
co-counsel, who I do not remember her name, as she did not stay_ long on the case, and was
replaced by Needles, that I could not get a fair trial because of the relationship of Judge Karen
Sage, the trial judge, and Rosemary Lehmberg, the District Attorney, Kirk Watson, and other
applied for her warrants, and the DA's own forensic auditor all say there was no crime, when
· "she got it" as described by Needles and Wood, and visibly observed by me, by her throwing
her head to the side and sitting back in her seat with a look of disgust. (Courtroom sectlrity
cameras should have that on tape). On August 20th, Sage mled that Carter mislead the
magistrate. It was clear by the testimony of Carter and Miller, (in Sage's own words) this was a
" .•. travesty of justice." Sage's failure to grant a mistrial, or dismiss with prejudice, and her
rulings and failures to rule on other motion's, in contrast to my attorney's expectation of
favoritism manifested an already ongoing miscarriage of justice, and rendering my trial so
fundamentally unfair it violated my due process. Making tl:lis egregious unconstitutio.nal
sintation worse, was the irresponsible and unethical conduct of ~eedles and Wood in using
"best friend" favoritism as an excuse not to put on a defense.
Jackie Wood violated Rule 8.04 (a) (1) when she personally and, through the acts of another,
Tamara Needles, in conference just prior to the Defense resting, violated Rule 8.04 (3) engaged
in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation, again impressing on
me that Karen Sage "got It!" and ''Karen's got it!" and Wood's statement; ''Karen's got my
back!" and both Wood and Needles saying "trust me" and "we should rest" violating Rule
· 8.04 (a) (5) "state or imply an ability to influence improperly. a government agency or
official", misrepresenting and deceiving me into believing, as Sage's "best friend" they had
already arranged for favored decisions from Sage and that I should throw away my opportunity
for a defense presentation that was "several weeks" worth of exculpatory witnesses and
evidence.
During 'this conversation I told both Wood and Needles I wanted to challenge prosecution
witnesses and at least have several of the Defense witnesses testify. They continued to impress
on me Karen Sage "got it!" and "Karen's got it!" and ''Karen's got.my back!" and "trust me"
and "we ·should rest" There is no ethical or responsible ''trial strategy" in intentional
deception and misrepresentation of the expected conduct of a trial judge;. As officers of the
court, their statements and conduct can only be taken as "true". (See attached Judicial
Misconduct complaint).
I am a decorated and Honorably Retired Chief of Police and Military Veteran (see attached
resume and pardon petition that Sage heard testimony from me regarding the related case) and I
do not make these allegations frivolously, or take the sevetity of this o.omplaint lightly.

M. Ariel Payan is in violation of the American Bar Associa~
tion Model Rules of Professional Conduct and Texas Disciplinary·
Rules of Professional Conduct, Rules 3.7, 8.2 and 8.3 creating
such a Conflict of Interest in his failure to report these viol-
ations and Recuse himself, that he is knowningly and intentionaly
violating my Rights of Due Process in accordance with the Texas
and United States Constitutions~
On October 22, 2013, in a face to face conversation regarding
Prosecutorial Misconduct and Judicial Misconduct resulting in de-
cisions by Trial Judge Karen Sa9e, for Pecuinary Interest, a viol-
ation of both State and Federal laws. Payan told me "My wife
works for the Prosecutor's Office", "We are friends with Holly
Taylor and I know- her husband'.';. And, "we all talk." And, "it's
a close knit group."
In the same conversation he told me, "The Judge's decisions
were political." And, "The Judge is not likely to decide on some-
thing that can effect her election. 11
Earlier, Trial counsel, Jackie wood, Sage's best friend, said
Sage was not going to make decisions that would effect her getting
votes and financial contributions in her upcoming re-election.
Sage's campaign kicked off right after Payan was 'appointed.
Bar Rule 3.7 states "A lawyer shall not act as an advocate
at a trial in which the lawyer is likely to be a necessary witness.
Rule 8.02(a) states; "A lawyer shall not make a statement a
lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its
truth or falsify concerning the qualification or integrity of a
Judge."
Rule 8.3 states "A lawyer who knows another lawyer committed
a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a
substantial question of that lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or
fitness as a la~yer in other respects shall inform the appropriate
authority. Misconduct complaints on Sage were filed with the State
Commission on Judicial Conduct, CJC No. 14-0826-01 and the Texas
Attorney General.
on October 1, 2014, in Federal Court, my prosecutor and
(5-A)
Payan's "friend", Holly Taylor, admitted on July 15, 2011, 3 months
before there was any meaningful probable cause, she was out "in-
vestigating", gathering evidence,and interviewing witnesses. She
also admitted to reviewing, several times, the Search Warrant Af-
fidavit, which was inundated. with patently false, misleading state-
ments, and knew of material ommissions that would. render the war-
rants invalid. And, earlier atmy trial was formally accused of
lying to the Tribunal by Trial Attorney·Jackie Wood.
On March 21, 2014, Payan sent me an email acknowledging he
and the two trial atto~s made those statements.
Payan, and his wife are material witnesses to the criminal
conduct of Prosecutor Holly Taylo~and Judge Karen Sage under 18
U.S.C. 241 and 24~and Texas Penal Code for Abuse of Office and
Offical·Oppression1 and he refuses- to recuse himself from my case·
and report his, and the others misconduct ·to the appropriate auth-
ority.
He has committed such a Conflict of Interest I have been
denied my Rights of Due Process in accordance wtih the Texas and
United states Constitutions.
M. Ariel Payan was given until October 15, 201.4, to recuse
himself as Counsel after NUMEROUS requests and demands, in writing,
to do his job and file formal objections, aomplaintstand grie-.
vances·. with:,the Tribunal.
Payans relationship with Holly Taylor, the Travis County
District Attorney who prosecuted me created a Conflict of Interest
and his statements regarding the integrity of the Court proce-
edings in my trial, and that of 299th District Court Judge Karen
Sage, made him an adversiarial material witness. His breach of
fudiciary duty as my competent Counsel, and failure to recuse
has demonstrated his furtherance of conduct.to that of Co-Con-'-
spirator in the Obstruction of Justice, Deprivation of Rights
Under Color of Law IAW Federal Law 18 usc 241 and 242, and the
Texas Penal Code Abuse of Office and Official Oppression. Formal
complaints through the Department of Justice and other criminal
investigative agencies are being lodged. His conduct has resulted
(5-B)
in my unnecessary and ongoing false imprisonment since his be-
coming my appellate counsel! His negligent and criminal conduct
required me to formally request help from Chief Justice Jones.
See Attached Letters.

flict Of Interest with Payan.
As you can see by the attached emails, Payan and his wife are
material witnesses in criminal conduct and gross violations of
State and Federal law, Texas and United States Constitution's
Rights of Due Process, Judicial Misconduct on the.State Trial
Judge, Karen Sage, complaint no.CJC NO 14-0826-Dl, and egregous
violations of the American Bar Association Model Rules of Profes-
sional Conduct and the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional
Conduct, by Travis county District Attorney's Holly Taylor, my
Prosecutor, Susan Oswalt, Greg Coxx and Rosemary Lehmberg, and my
two trial attorneys, Jackie Wood and Tamara Needles and Payan him-
self.
This fundamental miscarriage of justice and obscene depriva~
tion of Rights not only to myself, but my co-defendant, Mary Jo
WOodal;L, and the state's malicious and vindictive efforts to cover
up mulitiple felonies, including Attempted Murder, through Payan's
negligence and abandonment, caused me to file a 132 page Brief
with over 1800 pages and photos, not including the two CD's of
Trial Court Records in a 2254(d)(1) writ of Habeas Corpus seeking
an unbiased and fair judiciary.
In Preparation for a 2255 Evidentiary Hearing in Federal Court
on 1 October, 2014, my appointed Federal Attorney, Oskar Nisimblat,
unsuccessfully tried to contact Payan for consultation over the
State Court Records and proceedings.
On October 1st, 2014, in a Evidentiary Hearing in Federal
court, aside from Travis County District Attorney ·Investigator,
"
:i ·--.
Lori Carter, admitting for the second time she "targeted" me fo~
Free Speech and violating my Miranda, Holly Taylor my Prosecutor,
admitted under oath she was functioning as an 11 investigator" and
not a prosecutor on and after July 15, 2011, over three months
before there was any meaningful probable cause! If I am not.mis-
taken its still unconstitutional to be my investigator and my
prosecutQr! ·
I cannot get rid of Payan! I pray for your assistance in
assigning me a competent attorney not intimately involved with any
of the people related to my case. Two innocent people have now
been maliciously convicted and through my Rights of Due Process I
want to prove it.
I have been eligible for early release from the Bureau of
Prisons since February, 2014. However, because there is no appeal
bond in the State matter, I remain needlessly imprisoned. Thanks
to my negligent attorney.
Thank you for your consideration and assistance in helping me
prevent a furtherance of a miscarriage of justice.
Respectfully,
Charlie Malouff

RE: 03-13-00723CR
D-1-DC-13-904021-A
Dear Judge Jones:
On November 3rd, 2014, I filed a Writ of Habeas Corpus in
accordance with CCP ART. 11.07.
This Writ was previously hand carried to the Court of Appeals
who re-directed my delivery person to the Travis County District
Court Clerk, the Court of conviction.
On October 7th, 2014, I wrote you regarding my Conflict of
Interest with Appellant Counsel Ariel Payan. At that time no
appellate brief had been filed.
As you can see, the Writ of Habeas Corpus c.ontains a 129 page
Brief with over 1100 pages of supporting exhibits and refers to
Trial Court Records (D-1~DC-13-904021-A) arguing Judicial, Prosecu-
torial, Police, and Professional Misconduct and numerous Constitu-
tional and criminal violations depriving me of my Constitutional
Rights in exposing Criminal Conduct committed by Police, Prosecutor
and Judge.
In' addition, a motion for Bond For Certain Applicants, in
accordance with CCP ART 11.65 was submitted by mail from FCT, but
not filed until November 24, 2014.
This motion· for bond was submitted because, in this particular
case, CCP ART. 44.04(b) Bond Pending Appeal prevents me from bond.
There are so many actual Constitutional and Criminal Violations
in this miscarriage of justice that are part of the record, and need
to be made part of the record, not identified by Appellate Counsel
Payan in his .brief. The Writ was filed before his Brief, and Appel-
late Counsel Payan is a criminal co-conspirator through he and his
wife's relationship with the District Attorney and his conduct, and
lack thereof, on my case.
On November 1 9, 2 01 4, the Trial Judge, Karen Sage, whom:: the
Judicial Misconduct is directed at, dismissed the Writ of Habeas
Corpus effectively nullifying, according to the Code of Criminal
Procedure, my only hope of getting bond until this case is finally
resolved.
I ask for your intercession in some form of bond. I am being
unreasonably detained at FCI Bastrop because of this State case. I
have been eligible for early/supervised release since February 2,
2014.
Respectfully,
Charlie Malouf£

RE: 03-13-00723-CR
STATE OF TEXAS V. CHARLES A. MALOUFF, JR.
Dear Judge Jones,
Again I come to you in an attempt at preventing a furtherance
of a miscarriage of justice.
I have not been conferred with over, nor provided a copy of
Appellate Counsel M. AriiH Payan' s Brief. However, I hav.e been in-
formed through outside sources that he has made several patently
false and maliciousl~tatements in•1the Brief that must be adamantly
objected to.
According to what was provided to me, Payan wrote, "Assisted by
his friend Mary Jo Woodall, he succeeded in encourging the City of
Jonestown to apply for a Grant of Federal Funds under the Distributed
Renewable Energy Technology Program through the Texas Comptroller of
Public Accounts."71hisiis patently false! As stated by me in th~
Sentencing phase of the Trial, I have been involved in Federal Grants
and Research and Development Projects since 1993. The Instant Program,
also known as ARRA STIMULUS, was highly publicized by the President
of the United States .for over a year before this specific Grant was
puplished, and it was also promoted at Energy Conferences all across
the State. Furthermore, I had personally and independently addressed
Grant opportunities in my business plan and face-to-face meetings
when I first approached the City of Jonestown as a place to'locate
my Corporate Headquarters almost two years prior.
Mary Jo Woodall had absolutely nothing to do with helping me
encourage~the City of Jonestown. I was told Payan also wrote" •••
-but eventually the Prosecutors caught on that Mary Jo Woodall, the
Comptroller's Grant Coordinator was violating the law by wearing
two hats. Appellant was caught up in the ensuing prosecution for
for fraud." Again, this is a patently false and maliciously dis-
paraging statement against an absolutely innocent woman. Mary Jo's
supervisors and co-workers testified she was doing her job. Mary Jo
Woodall neYer violated Policy or the Law. As testified by her
superviso~ Pam Groc•i she could' have written the Grant if she was
asked. In addition, there were numerous fail safe procedures for
fraud set in place to prevent this very thing. Toby Miller and Lori
Carter maliciously attacked Mary Jo Woodall as part of a concerted
effort to cover up Miller, Cook and others criminal conduct in theft,
attempted murder and other felo~ies. Again, I vehemently object to
Payan's statement.
I was told Payan also wrote, " ••• Frankly, Appellant was not an
easy man to work for. Charismatic and engaging, he could also be
imperious and mercurial. He alienated his daughter~(the Company CEO)
and many underpaid employees, one of whom, a Travis County Sheriff's
Deputy~··" I would'not call $46 I hour underpaid. I would not call
$22 - 25 per hour for an inexpe~ienced Technician underpaid.
I am not an easy man to work for. I am a Decorated and Honorably
Retired Chief of Police and Decorated Disabled Veteran with 29
years of service to my Country. I have neYer tolerated crooked cops
and t~ieves. Dana McCoy, my daughter, is the one who alienated her-
self when she emphatically gave me the ultimatum of severing our
parent child relationship if I took action to remove and file on
Travis County Sheriff's Deputy Toby Miller, Jonestown Police Officer
Michelle Cook and others for falsifying Grant time sheets and other
fraudulent acts, and criminal conduct against the Government and
the Company. Payan has wtisted the facts and one more time I vehem-
ently object to his Brief.
In the Interest of Justice and in furtherance of attempting to
prevent more miscarriage of justice, I again adamantly object to
anything Payan has done in my ~epresentation. In addition to my
letters toiyou, I field an original Bar Grievance on P•yan on October
16, 2014 and an amended Grievance~on November 10, 2014. On November
26th, ~ filed a formal Criminal Civil Rights Complaint with the FBI
in Washington, DC and Payan is part of that Complaint. (See attached
Documents supporting this letter.)

M. Ariel Payan is in violation of the American Bar Associa-
tion Model Rules of Professional Conduct and Texas Disciplinary··
Rules of Professional conduct, Rules 3.7, 8.2 and 8.3 creating
such a Conflict of Interest in his failure to report these viol-
ations and Recuse himself, that he is knowningly and intentionaly
violating my Rights of Due rrocess in accordance with the Texas
and United States Constitutions~
On October 22, 2013, in a face to face conversation regarding
Prosecutorial Misconduct and JJdicial Misconduct result~ng in de-
cisions by Trial Judge Karen Sage, for Pecuinary Interest, a viol-
ation of both State and Federal laws. Payan told me "My wife
works for the Prosecutor's Offilce", "We are friends with Holly
Taylor· and -I know- her·· husband~';; And-, "We all talk." And, "it • s .
a close knit group.'!
In the same conversation he told me, "The Judge's decisions
were political." And, "The Judge is not likely to decide on some-
thing that can effect her election. 11
Earlier, Trial counsel, Jackie Wood, Sage's best friend, said
Sage was not going to make decisions that would effect her getting
votes and financial contributions in her upcoming re-election.
Sage's campaig~ kicked off right after Payan was appointed.
Bar Rule 3.7 states "A lawyer shall not act as. an advocate
at a trial in which the lawyer is likely to be a necessary witness.
Rule 8.02(a) states;_ "A lawyer shall not make a statement a
lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its
truth or falsify concerning the qualification or integrity of a
Judge."
Rule 8.3 states "A lawyer who knows another lawyer committed
a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a
substantial question of that lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness or
fitness as a lawyer in other respects shall inform the appropriate
authority. M~sconduct complaints on Sage were filed with the State
Commission on Judicial Conduct, CJC No. 14-0826-D1 and the Texas
Attorney General.
On October 1, 2014, in Federal Court, my prosecutor and
(5-A)
Payan's "friend", Holly Taylor, admitted on July 15, 2011, 3 months
before there was any meaningful probable cause, she was out "in-
vestigating", gathering evidence,and interviewing witnesses. She
also admitted to reviewing, several times, the ' Search Warrant Af-
.
fidavit, which was ~ted. with patently false, misleading state-
ments, and_knew of material ommissions that would. render the war-
rants invalid. And, ~arlier at my trial was formally accused of
lying to the .Tribunal by Trial Attorney Jackie Wood.
On March 21, 2014, Payan sent me an email acknowledging he
and the two trial at~s mad~ those statements.
Payan, and his wife are material witnesses to the criminal
conduct of Prosecutor Holly Taylo~and Judge Karen Sage under 18
u.s.c. 241 and 2421 and Texas P'nal Code for Abuse of Office and
Offical Oppression;, and· he refuses- to recuse himself from my case-
and report his, and the others misconduct to the appropriate auth-
ority.
He has committed such a Conflict of Interest I have been
denied my Rights of Due Process in accordance wtih the Texas and ·
united states Constitutions.
M. Ariel Payan was ~iven until October 15, 2014, to recuse
himself as Counsel after NUMEROUS requests and demands, in writing,
to do his job and file formal objections, :aompla;i:hteuand···grie.;;.
vances: with.,·, the Tribunal.
Payans relationship with Holly Taylor, the Travis County
District Attorney:who prosecuted me created a Conflict of Interest
. I
and his statements regarding the integrity of the Court proce-
edings in my trial, and that of 299th District Court Judge Karen
Sage, made him an adversiarial material witness. His breach of
fudiciary duty.as my competent Counsel, and failure to recuse
has demonstrated his furtherance of conduct;.to that of Co-Con-.>
spirator in the Obstruction of Justice, Deprivation of Rights
Under Color of Law IAW Federal. Law 18 USC 241 and 242, and the
Texas Penal Code Abuse of Office and Official Oppression. Formal
complaints through the Department of Justice and other criminal
·investigat:.ive agencies are being lodged. His conduct has resulted
(5-B)
in my unnecessary and ongoing false imprisonment since his be-
coming my appellate counsel! Iiris negligent and criminal conduct
required me to formally request help ~rom Chief Justice Jones •.

I \vould like to rc--..ommend Petty Officer Charles Malouff, USCGR, for the position of
Investigator with the Coast Guard Jnvcstigaiive Service:·
I was introduced to Petty Officer Malouffin February 2003. Petty Officer Malouffwas
assigned to the Intelligence Branch, Marine Safety Office Corpus Christi, Texas, providing
se-curity for the personnel, vessels and equipment lo be deployed. overseas. He began working
regularly with our office on intelligence and criminal matters. In addition, he was actively
involved in the Anti-Terrorism Task Force {"ATAC", fom1crly know as "ATTF"} and other
intelligence and security related meetings hosted by this of11ce and the Coast Guard.
Petty Ofticcr Malouff is third generatipn Lebanese and \Vou1d bring an insight and
understanding to this position that so desperately is needed at this crucial time. Dw-ing his 1ime
in Corpus Clnisli, numerous reports were received of possible terrorist activity directed at
military resources and the Port. Petty .Officer Malouff's expertise was instrumental in dealing
with the possible threats to the area.
While assigned to the United States A.nomey's Anti-Terrorist Task Force he directly
assisted the FBI's Joint Task Force in the investigation and enforcement of suspected Terrorist
activities and financial fraud cases. In addition, he assisted the United States Attorney's office,
the Anti-Terrorism Task Force, and the Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) in the execution
of search wan-ants and arrest wammt of an individual by the name ofRizzaw Hassan. Hassan
has been indicted and convicted of fraud and money laundering.
Petty Officer MaloutTis pcrsonzhlc, intel!igcnt, self-motivated, and diligent in his desire
and ability to take on complex. tasks, assis1 other agents, and c!cvclop information and evidence ·
for prosecution. It is these characteristics that I fed will m;,;kc him a great assct to the Coast
Guard Investigative Service. I whole-heartedly recommend Petty Officer Malouff.

I. Please convey my appre~."iation to USBP agt-·nt WilJiam Re:!d, PS l ClHltk-s Malo1.:ff. BM3 Artre
Rusk and S'NPS Josh Way, for their outstanding efforts in the rescue of :\Ir. Steven Coville from the.
waters along the St Lawrence River adjacent to St Lawrence Park, Canada.
2. At appro1timately 1815. July 6, 2003, USBP Agent William Reed. coxswain on a jointly crewed ·
USBP boat, was showing BM3 Rusk and SNPS Way known smuggler departure points along the
Canadian border, specifically around the Brock\o11le!Sl Lawrence Park area. They were traveling
west, passing the main parts of the Brockv11le 4owntown area approaching the St Lawrence Park
when lh,ey obselved numerous people swimmiug in the adjacent waters including a lone male, later
identified as Mr. Steven Coville, s~ across the channel to \\Aile Island. As the boat crew
moved v.ithin 50 yards of Mr. ColvilJe, tbey observed him suddenly begin to tlatl his arms and
briefly yell for help. BM3 Rusk and SNPS Wav rushed to the front Qf tb~ bo~ while agent Reed
expertly maneuvered the 27-foot Sea Ark agaUist a strong current that puUed Mr. Coville and the
boat in opposite directions. The boat crew observed Mr. Coville go under and resurface. As he
resurtacod, agent Reed repositioned the boat bow--on as BM3 Rusk attempted to grab Mr. Coville.
Sirong currents once again thwarted their efforts and Mr. Colville was swept back under the water,
bobbing back to the surface. Throughout the rescue. agent Reed continued to expertly maneuver the
boat, careful not to strike Mr. Coville while staying close enough to affect the rescue. As soon as
Mr.· Coville resurfw..-ed for the third time, S~TPS Way threw Mr. Co"ille a line he was able to gr:tb.
Both BM3 Rusk and SNPS Way ,got a ho14 of .Mr. Co"ille and pulled him into the boat. It wa.<;
obvioUs that he was suffering from hypotbmnia and shock as he ·was sbakjng uncontrollably. The

THE COMMANDANT OF THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD
WASHINGTON 20593
•
06 September 200i
From: Commandant
To: PSI Charles Malouff, USCGR
Subj: LETTER OF COMMENTIATION
I. I note wilh pride and am pleased to commend you for your perfonnance of duty ftom
September 2001 to September 2002 while serving in the Sea Marshal Branch of the Homeland
Security Departtnent at MSO Houston-Galveston. Following the tragic events of the 11
September 2001 ..Attack on America" you were recalled to serve your country in the newly
created Homeland Security Department during Operation Noble Eagle. You began your duty in
the Base Security Branch, logging over 200 hours of security patrols that were instru.."'Dental in
the overall protection of the base and it's personnel. You were the lead watchstander supervising
over 45 day ~d nighttime watches when you resolved over 20 potential trespass attempts,
including a series of suspicious vehicles in the vicinity of the main gate. When Coast Guard
priorities cha11ged and new security missions evolved, you volunteered to serve on one of the
Coast Guard's first Sea Marshal teams. Your relentless drive and considerable Coast Guard law
enforcement experience played a vital role in the new operational mission as you oversaw the
escort of 65 High Interest Vessels. ln March 2002, upon receiving reports of a possible
stowaway, you fought drenching rains, high winds and 8-foot seas in order to reach the suspect
vessel. Once on board, you conducted a comprehensive search ruling out the presence of the
potential threat, and then provided an armed escort during the vesscrs twelve-hour transit into
port. In December 2002, you aggressively investigated an incident involving a suspicious
crewmember of a foreign vessel taking photographs of the Houston Ship Channel and it's critical
infrastructure. Your quick actions led to immediate interviews with the crew and a federal law
enforcement analysis of the photographs, circumventing any potential threat to the port. Your
rapid patriotic response and participation in the most extensive mobilization of reserve forces
since World War II greatly contn1mtcd to the rapid establishment of our current heightened
national maritime securitY posture.
2. · You arc commended for your outstanding performance of duty. By your meritorious service
you have upheld the highest traditions of the United States Coast Guard.
3. You are hereby authorized to wear the Commandant's Letter of Commendation Ribbon Bar.
The Operational Distinguishing Device is authorized.

Re: Charics A. Malouff, Jr.
To Whom It ~Y Concern:
I have had the pleasure of knowing Charles A. Malouff, Jr., his
wife, Brenda, and their children since 1986. lVir. i\fmlouff and his
wife have proven to be loyal, dependable and upstanding close
personal friends.
In 1989, the Texas Legislature confe~red the enforcement responsi-
bility of the Cigarette and ~obacco Products Tax Act on the Texas
State Treasury Department (the ~Treasury"). As a steff attorney
at the Treasury, I recommended Mr. Malouff for one of the enforce-
ment officer positions because I run familiar with his excellent
record as an offlcerin other positions he has held. My speciLc
job duties at the Treasury have not affordec me the opportunity
to work directly with the Cigarette end Tobacco Products Tax Division~
however, it is well known that Mr. Malouff is highly regarded by
his superiors and his collegues es a proficient and valuable enforce-
ment officer.
Mr. Malouff is extremely knowledgeable of theories 1 principles. and
practices of professional criminal and civil investigations. He is
also well trained in the area of civil rights legislation and he is
sensitive to its potential impact in law enior-cement situations.
Mr. Malouff has the ability to coordinate, motivate and rr~nage his
subordinates and peers in enforcement progrruns and to communicate
his thoughts and objectives effectively to his superiors and others.
I highly recommend Mr. Malouif for any position for which he applies.
I feel that he is more than adequately educated and trained to assume
a position that requi~es his particular experience and credentials.
In addition, I sincerely believe that he has the potentia! to success-
fully meet the criteria of a higher level position than the one he
currently holds.
I hope that you will seriously consider Mr. Malouff as a qualified
candidate for the position for which he applies.
Sincerely,

LE~~ER OF REFER~NCE:
CHA...~I E !1ALOUFF
As Division Loss Prevention ZP1anager for the Texas Division of
7-Eleven Stores (A Division of The Sout.hland Corporation), I have had
the good fortune of 1r1orking 1r1ith cr.arlic Malou.ff in his capacity of
Special Agent for the Tobacco Pr-od::cts Division of the 'l'exas Treasury
Department over the last several years.
As Special Agent, Charlie has been exceptionally responsive to ~he
problems of the retail intiustry in Texas cor:.cernirig the theft and
black marketing of cigarettes and tobacco products. Charlie, along
with other Special Agents in the team, have helped retailers
immensely in investiga~ing and prosecuting those responsible for the
illegal and costly trafficking of st:olen cigarettes.
Charlic!s willingness to listen to the public he serves, his
ability to pull together the efforts of various law enforcement
agencies, his ability to "sell" a program or co'..lrse of action to his
superiors, and carry it out, is a '..lnique and valuable asset in law
enforcement or any industry.
Charlie has a refreshing ability to establish a working
relationship with just about anyone, instill trust and confidence in
those he \vorks vrith and for, and delivers on his promises.
Needless to say that this is net the case \vi th all la~v enforcement
officials all the time, but Charlie seems to be able to rise above
titles and politics, and gets the· job done.
Please feel free to contact me perso:;a.:..ly if you req-o1.:i.re further
information.

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
May 5, 2014
General Greg Abbott
Attorney General
300 W. 15TH ST.
Austin, TX 78701
RE: ABUSE OF OFFICE BY A TRIAL JUDGE, ARISING FROM PERSONAL
PECUNIARY INTEREST FOR MAKING DECISIONS RESULTING IN
WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS, IN VIOLATIONS OF THE TEXAS
CONSTITUTION, CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, AND THE TEXAS
PENAL CODE
Dear General Abbott:
._
My name is Charlie Malouff. I am a decorated, honorably retired, chief of police and
decorated Texas Veteran with 29 years of service to my country. This complaint is in
regards to the Abuse of Office for Pecuniary Interest leading to wrongful
imprisonment, by Travis County 2991h District Court Judge Karen Sage.
The court is supposed to be the instrument to advance the ends of justice. When the
trial judge, for personal pecuniary interest, makes decisions contrary to, and involved
unreasonable application of clearly established state and federal laws as determined by
both Supreme Courts and the Constitutions of both Texas and the United States,
resulting in wrongful imprisonment, the judge surrenders their right to immunity under
the color of law and subjects themself to the laws of the Stat~ of Texas.
According to Sage's best friend, attorney . Jackie Wood, and another independent
attorney, Aria! Payan, whose wife works for the Travis County District Attorney, Karen
Sage made decisions for votes and contributions in her then upcoming re-election,
March 4, 2014, in denying dismissal, mistrial, Franks Hearings, and other defense
motions. Her decisions, resulted in my arbitrary, selective, vindictive, malicious, and
unethical prosecution for "Securing Execution of a Document by Deception", between
August and October, 2013, that was committed in violation's of the First, Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth, Eighth, Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution; the Texas
Constitution; the Code of Criminal Procedure; and the Texas Penal Code in the
covering up of crimes by the police, and the Travis County District Attorney's Office
Public Integrity Unit, including, but not limited to, "targeting" me for my "freedom of
speech" (admitted to under oath by TCDA Investigator Lori Carter), Attempted Murder,
Industrial Espionage, Destruction of a Federally Funded Energy Project, Destruction of
Evidence, Theft of Trade Secrets, Abuse of Office, Official Oppression, Coercion,
·;.
Falsifying Time Sheets, Corruption, ongoing Brady, and Prosecutorial and Judicial
Misconduct.
There are over 4 Terrabytes, of exculpatory evidence, motions, and an additional
several thousand pages of trial transcripts supporting this complaint. This evidence
and trial transcripts reveal the Governments arbitrary, selective, vindictive and malicious
misconduct. Sage was privy to testimony, evidence and motions the jury was not. In
addition, the statements made by two independent officers of the court (see attached)
support this Abuse of Office. This egregious violation of law has resulted in the
wrongful convictions of not one person, but two. The other, Mary Jo Woodall, a 57 year
old woman who never committed anything other than a traffic violation at age 17, and
who, because of the Abuse of Office by Karen Sage, never had a chance at a fair trial.
In 2006, I was convicted in violation of 26 USC Sec 5812,_ 5861 (e), 5871 Unlawful
Transfer of a Firearm in the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Cr.
No. H-06-237-001. At that same time, but unbeknownst to me, the United States
attempted to prosecute Sgt. James V. Vest, Illinois State Police, for the exact same
thing. Sgt. Vest sought out the congressional intent of the law; see 132 Cong. Rec.
55358-04, 1986 WL 774609, ggth Congress, 2"d Session, specifically statements
from Senator's Hatch, Dole and McClure regarding this issue. Sta.ting in part,
Senator Dole said, §922 "is somewhat ambiguous language." Senator Hatch stated
"This amendment was designed to deal with crime guns, not weapons used to fight
crime on a domestic or international scale." Senator McClure added, ''The end result
has been the entrapment of otherwise honest people into violations that neither hurt
anyone, nor contribute to violent crime." The Vest Court found "the law was not
intenc:fed to apply to police officers, but instead its purpose was to eliminate the use of
machine guns and other various weapons used to commit crimes. It does not appear
that this statute was designed to criminalize police officers even if they may be guilty of
mere technical violations." It went on to state, "Those (police officers) are under a
reasonable belief that the person handing them that weapon~ an instructor, is imbued
with the authority to have that weapon and provide it to them. " Furthermore, the Court
ruled the statues were unconstitutionally vague and allowed for arbitrary enforcement.
It stated the legislative history indicated it was aimed at criminal possession and not the
use of weapons by law enforcement. United States District Judge David Herndon
dismissed Vest's case with prejudice. (See attached). I found the Vest case researching
case law for my 2255 Motion to Vacate in my instant case on April 2, 2014.
My case was a result of the independent criminal conduct of 'Eugene H. Williams, Jr.,
and FBI Special· Agent Mark Tilton using the US Attorney's Office in Houston, to
retaliate for being called on the carpet when I, as a U. S. Coast Guardsman, on call up
after 9-11, caught a Russian Spy in the Houston Ship Channel, and to suppress Tilton's
failures as a supervisor, in both that case (he was the supervisor of the FBI Russian
(_ ~'? .J[:-'c..-,.
·'• '-· v I
Desk) and as the FBI Houston SWAT Team Leader, and those of the ATF in his and
their conduct, or the lack thereof, in the Eugene H. Williams,- Jr. case. (See attached
letter to OPR, Pardon Petition).
The FBI/ATF debacle again raised its head in October, 2011 when multiple flash bang
grenades, traced back to the Williams case, were planted at my house, and found four
days after I was arrested, and still in jail, conveniently by Travis County Deputy Toby
Miller, the complainant in this case. This was after my house and shed were trashed
and no evidence was found. The ATF, US Attorney and FBI refused to conduct a
thorough investigation to keep from re-addressing these issues (see 2255 Motion to
Vacate). Sage heard about this when I testified at trial. In .addition, she was visibly
shaken regarding the injustice. All this should be on the camera in the court security
files.
According to the Constitution, I, as a Citizen of the United States, have the right to
contact the President of the United States directly to apply for a Pardon. Not knowing
anything about Vest, but knowing what the FBI and US Attorney were doing to me was
wrong, I sought a Presidential Pardon. My Pardon Petition was, on its merits, hand
carried to the President ori December 24, 2008 and was turned awa.y, not denied,
because of a non-related political debacle regarding another's pardon application (see
attached Tussi article). General Abbott, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a
criminal minded person. (see attached resume).
The Stimulus Act was to stimulate the economy and bring jobs and income back to
·Americans in the United States of America. I, as an American, created a company that
was owned by Americans, for Americans, using innovative technology, not only made in
America, but made by Americans with no foreign parts, and l spent considerable time
getting my On-the-Job Training Program approved by the Veteran's Administration, so I
could employ as many Veteran's as possible, including handicapped. Anything taken to
another country was done with the pride of knowing the product would be made in
America by Americans. And that, Sir, is something I, as a Disabled Veteran, am very
proud of!
I have yelled, screamed and jumped up and down in the graphic voice I was trained in
as both a Drill Sgt., and sailor, since the day of my arrest, arguing I was not only set up,
by Travis County Sheriff's Deputy, Toby Miller, who was caught red handed falsifying
time sheets for himself, another police officer and others employed for the Grant, and
who was identified as a suspect in the sabotage and destruction of a Federally
funded energy project (see attached police reports), but there was no way I would
get a fair trial under Karen Sage. When Jackie Wood became my attorney, she told me
right off, Sage was her "best friend" and "not to worry." Prior .to the defense resting in
my case, Wood repeatedly told me to "trust me" and "Karen has my back." That "trust"
3
aside, what is more important to this complaint is Wood's statement in the holding cell
that "her decisions were political" referring to her upcoming re-election. Shortly
thereafter, to be told the same thing by Payan (see attached sworn affidavit and other
documents), two people who are, as officers of the court and ethically sworn to tell the
truth regarding the conduct and integrity ·of a judge, can only be taken as true
statements and that Sage abused her office, wrongfully imprisoning me for monetary
and other pecuniary interests.
I pray, after you read the attached documents, you cannot help but see our convictions
were brought about unconstitutional, unethical and criminal methods that offend any
rational person's sense of justice, and identify the extreme malfunction in the
administration of justice in both mine and Mary Jo Woodall's case's.
I PRAY there still remains ethical and honest Government advocates in your Public
Integrity Unit, and in your consideration of my complaint.
Respectfully Submitted,
Charlie Malouff

RE: DESTRUCTION OF A FEDERALLY FUNDED ENERGY PROJJECT;
POLICE MISCONDUCT IN COVERING UP MULTIPLE FELONIES BY A
SHERIFF DEPUTY AND OTHER POLICE, INCLUDING AN ASSISTANT
DISTRICT ATTORNEY; MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE THROUGH
ARBITRARY, SELECTIVE AND VINDICTIVE PROSECUTION,
PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT; CONSTITUTIONAL VIOLATION'S
OF THE FIRST, FOURTH, FIFTH, SIXTH, EIGHTH, FOURTEENTH
AMENDMENTS, AND ARTICLE I AND II TO THE CONSTITUTION AND
OTHER FEDERAL LAWS
Dear Mr. Chairman:
My name is Charlie Malouff. I am a decorated, honorably retired, chief of police and
decorated Veteran with 29 years of service to my country. I come to you in a plea for
help. The House Judiciary Committee has jurisdiction relating to the administration of
justice in the courts and over law enforcement agencies.
Without making this letter lengthy and repetitious, this plea for help is in response to
what a God faring man would claim the "beyond description". misconduct of the U.S.
Attorney in Houston, Texas, the U.S. Attorney in Austin, Texas, DOE. OIG Criminal
Investigators, and Agents of the ATF and FBI, the Travis County District Attorney and
local law enforcement in Austin, Texas.
In 2006, I was convicted in violation of 26 USC Sec 581 ~ 5861 (e), 5871. Unlawful
Transfer of a Firearm in the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Cr.
No. H-06-237-001. At that same time, but unbeknownst to me, the United States
attempted to prosecute Sgt. James V. Vest, Illinois State Police, for the exact same

from Senator's Hatch, Dole and McClure regarding this issue. Stating in part,
Senator Dole said §922 "is somewhat ambiguous language." Senator Hatch stated "This
amendment was designed to deal with crime guns, not weapons used to fight crime on

the entrapment of otherwise honest people into violations that neither hurt anyone, nor

other various weapons used to commit crimes. It does not appear that this statute was
designed to criminalize police officers even if they may be guilty of mere technical

The FBI/ATF debacle again raised its head in October, 2011 when multiple flash bang
grenades, traced back to the Williams case, were planted at my house, and found four
days after I was arrested, and still in jail. This was after my house and shed were
trashed and no evidence was found. The ATF, US Attorney and FBI refused to conduct
a thorough investigation to keep from re-addressing these issues. This failure to
properly investigate and rush to get a conviction, has led to the arbitrary, selective,
vindictive, malicious, and unethical prosecution for "Felon in Possession of a
Firearm", in the United States District Court, Western District of Texas. Further
compounding this egregious deprivation constitutional rights, I was charged and
convicted of "Securing Execution of a Document by Deception" in the 2ggth District
Court, Travis County, Texas, in violation's of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth,
Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution, Code of Federal Regulations, State and
Federal laws, Rules of Professional Conduct, in the cover up of Attempted Murder,
Industrial Espionage, Destruction of a Federally Funded Energy Project, Destruction
of Evidence, Theft of Trade Secrets, Abuse of Office, Official Oppression, Coercion,
Falsifying Time Sheets, Malfeasance by Federal Agents, Corruption, Withholding
Discovery, and Prosecutorial and Judicial Misconduct (see attached documents).
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Energy has compounded these felonious crimes in
unethical, unprofessional, deficient, negligent and biased conduct through its field
2
employees, management, Criminal Investigator's, and other's acts. (See attached letter
to DOE). Further compounding this already complex and CC?mplicated case were my
own attorney's deficient and negligent conduct. (See 2255 Motion to Vacate and
Judicial Misconduct)
According to the Constitution, I, as a Citizen of the United States, have the right to

time sheets for himself, another police officer and others employed for the Grant, and
who was identified as a suspect in the sabotage and destruction of a Federally
funded energy project (see attached police reports), but the federal government was
quietly directing the Travis County District Attorney in this prosecution. The instant case
stems from an ARRA Stimulus Distributed Renewable Energy Grant. This was a
federally funded energy project, under the constant and direct supervision and audit of

negligently investigated by the DOE, ATF and FBI, and subsequently destroyed by the

Dear Ms. Caldwell,
My name is Charlie Malouff. I am a Decorated, Honorably Re-
tired, Chief of Police and Decorated Disabled Veteran with 29 years
service to my country.
I am coming to you with this Formal Criminal Complint of De-
privation of Rights Under Color Of Law and Conspiracy to commit
these deprivations in accordance with 18 USC 241 and 242, involving
several Assistant u.s. Attorneys, and FBI Agents because their con-
duct and according to the FBI Web Site Civil Rights Complaints,
this falls on you.
From 1975-1982, I was an Air Force Security Policeman. My
duties involved dignitary protection and counter-espionage (emp-
hasis on Russian and Chinese), activities.
After 9-11, I was Activated with the Coast Guard in the Port
of Houston. In December, 2001, I received information about a
"Russian Spy" in the Houston Ship Channel. After notifying the
Command, I took a Boarding Team and located the vessel. Sub-
sequently,·the case, with over 100 high security risk photos, was
turned over to the Houston FBI Russian Desk who negliglently failed
to act. Six months later, John Ashcroft made an announcement on
National TV elevating National Security Levels resulting from a
"credible threat to Pasadena,(TX)". The Coast Guard was put on
notice.
With a very real possibility of Congressional Inquiry looming,
the Command sent a Lieutenant commander and myself over to the
FBI Russian Desk where we met witb FBI supervisory Special Agent
Mark Tillton, who introduced himself as the head of that Desk. The
Commander, in no uncertain terms, relayed the message, if Congress
came down on the Coast Guard, the Coast Guard was coming down on
the FBI for their failure to act. (See Pardon Petition and Coast
Guard Commendatio~s for this incident.)
I personally knew Tilton from his role with the FBI Regional
SWAT Team, and their affiliation with the Cypress Creek Advanced
Tactical Team, the by MOU, FBI Regional SWAT Paramedics for Houston.
Over a period of time, former ATF Agent Eugene Williams, CCATT
Operations Manager and Paramedics Team Leader, was engaged in mul-
tiple newsworthy horseplay adventures involving flash bangs taken
from training. I had nothing to do with any of Williams oddball
activities.
Williams, FBI and ATF ignored, conduct led to the incident
where he blew part of a foot off of Steven Cosby at his bachelor•s
party with flash bangs taken from,training. Even though I was no-
where near Williams or Houston, and had no idea that he took them
from training, or that horseplay was involved until much later,

My name is not Travon Martin, or Michael Brown. I am not an
unarmed black boy who was beat on by the police. I am an Honorably
Retired law Enforcement Officer, and Military Veteran who has been
persecuted for doing his job! Through the negligence of the FBI,
Miller, the u.s. Attorneys involved, and their Good Ole Boy buddies
listed above, who hid behind their badges seeking revenge, Mary Jo
Woodall and myself have suffered unconstitutional crminal and civil
abuses.
While I cannot speak for Ma~y Jo, it does not take a rocket
4
scientist to see the criminal abuse put upon this innocent woman.
Ms. Caldwell, I took multiple oaths solemnly swearing to
"Defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and Domestic."
I intend to do just that! One thing I will find out is how
far "no integrity" and egregious: cover up goes up in my Government·.
I will be in Washington DC with a camera crew to address the
Department of Energy, Office of Professional Responsibility and
the FBI's tyranical, negligent and oppressive acts so that I can
present this to a Congressional Committee over the malicious
destruction of a Federally Funded Energy Project and the subsequent
oppressive conduct by Government officials in keeping these Un-
constitutional and illegal acts covered up. (See letters to DOE
and OPR).
To make sure my voice is heard, I will be exercising my Con-
stitutional Rights of Free Speech and to redress my Government by
reaching out to the 22 million Veteran's who solemnly swore to de-
fend the Constitution, and others FED-UP with the Governments Mis-
conduct.
'
I will be contacting your office and FBI Director Corney's Of-
fice to follow up on this formal Crimi~al ·complaint.
Respectfully,

Dear Director Corney:
My name is Charlie Malouf£. I am a decorated, Hornorably
Retired, Chief of Police and decorated Disabled Veteran with 29
.years service to my country.
I am coming to you with this Formal Criminal Complaint of
Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law and Conspiracy to commit
these deprivations in accordance with 18 USC 241 and 242, in-
volving several FBI Agents, because their conduct and the ninte-
grityn of the.Bureau falls directly on you.
From 1975-1982 I was an Air Force Security Policeman. My
duties involved dignitary protection and counter-espionage
(emphasis on Russian and Chinese) activities.
After 9-11 I was Activated with the Coast Guard in the Port

Command, I took a Boarding Team and located the vessel. Subse-
quently, the case, with over 100 high security risk photos, was
turned over to your Russian Desk who negligently failed to act.
' .
Six months later, John Ashcroft made an announcement on national
TV elevating National Security Levels resulting from a "credible
threat to Pasadena~. The Coast Guard was put on notice.
With a very real possibility of Congressional Inquiry looming,
the Command sent a Lieutenant Commander and myself over to your
Russian Desk where we met with Supervisory Special Agent Mark
Tilton, who introduced himself as the head of that Desk. The
Commander, in no uncertain terms, relayed the message, if Congress
came down on the Coast Guard, the Coast Guard was coming down on
the FBI for your Failure To Act. (See Pardon Petition for more
informaton and Coast Guard Commendations for this incident).
I personally knew Tilton from his role with the FBI Regional
SWAT Team, and their affiliation with the Cypress Creek Advanced
Tactical Team, your, by MOU, SWAT Paramedics for Houston.

CCATT Operations Manager and Paramedics Team Leader, was engaged

. . ...
Transfer Of A Firearm as a "Present From The FBI. 11 (See Coram
Nobis).
In 2010, I caught Travis county Sheriff's Deputy Toby Miller,
and Jonestown Police Officer Michelle Cook falsifying Federal
Energy Grant timesheets on a $1.836 Million ARRA Stimulus Grant,
and subsequently their respective Department time sheets as well.
Miller was also identified to the Jonestown Police as a sus-
pect in Attempted Murder, Theft and the sabotaginq of windmills on
the Federal Grant, and by his own admission in Court, illegal use
of the NCIC, his police equipment and vehicle, industrial espion-
age, Theft of Trade Secrets and more. Miller, to cover his own
crimes, got his girlfriend, Travis County District Attorney Inves-
tigator, Lori Carter, with the help of Assistant District Attorney,
Holly Taylor to falsify a search warrant affidavit and pursue
criminal charges agaiQst myself, and another innocent woman, Mary
Jo Woodall. (See Writ of Habeas Corpus and 2255 Motion to Vacate
for intimate details.)
This outlandish, disgusting and oppressive ongoing unconstitu-
tional behavior has been compounded, again by your office, the
ATF and the u.s. Attorney's involved in an effort to suppress the
Houston incident, as flash bangs from that case conviently showed
up at my home four days after my house was trashed and nothing
found, and while I was still incarcerated in the Travis County
Jail. Your Austin office still refuses to identify the FBI Agent
and his supervisor taht were involved in the execution of the
search warrant at Mary Jo's.
I have put all of my supporting documents on CD. The intimate

SUBJECT:PAYAN
DATE: 10/02/2014 07:48:05 PM
Please forward:
2 October, 2014
Mr. Payan:
On May 26th, 2014, I sent you an email telling you that you and your wife are a material witnesses in the suspected criminal.
conduct of Judge Karen Sage, and that because of your failure to address violations of law and the ABA and TDRPC with the
Court and Bar, you have compromised my appeal process, and to get off of my case and find me an attorney that is not
engaged in an intimate relationship with relative parties. You have since failed to recuse yourself or file for a new trial or file
complaints with the Bar. lri addition, as you said, you and your wife, who works with Taylor are good friends and I am sure
Taylor has bragged about her "win" in my case. Again, you two are material witnesses that will be called in Federal court and
any other court I can subpoena Taylor and Sage in.
Mr. Oskar Nisimblat, my appointed Federal Attorney for my 2255, has repeatedly tried to contact you for information regarding
my State case and appeal and you have repeatedly refused to respond.
On September 19th, as a result of your negligence and abandonment, I filed a 2254 Writ of Habeas Corpus in the Western
District of Texas, Case No. 1:14-cv-882-LY. I have filed a 132 page Memorandom Brief and included approximately 1800
pages including photos, and copies of the two CO's of Court Transcripts of the State case you sent me. The Judicial,
Prosecutorial, and Professional Misconduct Grievances of my attorney are in that filing. I have not filed anything to do with the
sufficiency of evidence. Only violations of Constitutional and Federal law under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth and
Fourteenth Amendments, 18 USC 241 and 242~ and ABA and TDRPC. 132 pages worth of case law and arguments.
On 1 October, 2014, I had an Evidentiary Hearing in Federal Court over my 2255. In that hearing, Holly Taylor and Lori Carter
were both put on the stand and both admitted UNDER OATH, that HOLLY TAYLOR was OUT INVESTIGATING, TAKING
PICTURES AND GATHERING EVIDENCE, BEFORE THERE WAS ANY MEANINGFUL PROBABLE CAUSE, and as a result,
VIOLATED ABA and TDRPC Rule 3.7 and MANY OTHERS!! HOLLY TAYLOR CANNOT BE MY JUDGE JURY AND
EXECUTIONER..WHEN SHE WITHHOLDS EXCULPATORY AND EXONERATING EVIDENCE, admits to reviewing the
search warrant affidavit but HIDES BEHIND HER "WORK PRODUCT" on MATERIAL OMMISSIONS, AS AN IMPEACHABLE
WITNESS, SHE BECOMES ALL THREE.
As you are still miATTORNEY OF RECORD, AND UNDER PROTEST, I AM DEMANDING you get copies of yesterday's
transcripts, the 2254 AND ALL ATTACHMENTS AND YOU FILE THIS INFORMATION WITH THE APPEALS COURT
IMMEDIATELY WITH A MOTION FOR AN IMMEDIATE VACATE AND REMAND FOR A NEW TRIAL, OR DISMISSAL WITH
PREJUDICE!!! IF NOT, GET OFF MY CASE AND GET ME SOMEONE WHO IS NOT GOING TO CONTINUE TO FUCK MY
STATE APPEAL PROCESS.
I told you early on that I will be an intimate part of the appeal process. Please provide me the name of our Appellate Judge as
soon as possible.
Thank you,
Charlie Malouff

To whom it may concern:
Allow me to introduce to you Chief Charlie Malouff.
Chief Malouff served the City of Hico for about 4 months. He came on board and
departed under unique circumstances: he came to work on very short notice
when the previous Chief departed suddenly for service in Iraq, and now the City
of Hico is contracting with Hamilton County for Police services through the
Sheriffs Office.
During his tenure here, Chief Malouff was indefatigable in serving the City. He
participated in everything from attending luncheons at the Senior Citizens' Center
to coordinating all security activities for the Annual Steak Cook-off event, which
drew thousands of visitors to our City.
I cannot recommend Chief Malouff highly enough; please give him every
consideration.

SAC Lane:
I would like to recommend Petty Officer Charles Malouff, USCGR, for the position of
Investigator with the Coast Guard Investigative Service:-·
I was introduced to Petty Officer Malouffin February 2003. Petty Officer Malouffwas
assigned to the Intelligence Branch, Marine Safety Office Corpus Christi, Texas, providing
security for the personnel, vessels and equipment to be deployed overseas. He began working
regularly with our office on intelligence and criminal matters. In addition, he was actively
involved in the Anti-Terrorism Task Force ("ATAC", formerly know as "ATTF") and other
intelligence and security related meetings hosted by this office and the Coast Guard.
Petty Officer Malouff is third generation Lebanese and would bring an insight and
understanding to this position that so desperately is needed at this crucial time. During his time
in Corpus Christi, numerous reports were received of possible terrorist activity directed at
military resources and the Port. Petty 'Officer Malouffs expertise
.
was instrumental in d.ealing
with the possible threats to the area.
While assigned to the United States Attorney's Anti-Terrorist Task Force he directly
assisted the FBI's Joint Task Force in the investigation and enforcement of suspected Terrorist
activities and financial fraud cases. In addition, he assisted the United States Attorney's office,
the Anti-Terrorism Task Force, and the Joint Anti-Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) in the execution
of search warrants and arrest warrant of an individual by the name ofRizzaw Hassan. Hassan
has been indicted and convicted of fraud and money laundering.
Petty Officer Malouffis personable, intelligent, self-motivated, and diligent in his desire
and ability to take on complex.tasks, assist other agents, and develop information and evidence ·
for prosecution. It is these characteristics that I feel will make him a great asset to the Coast ·
Guard Investigative Service. I whole-heartedly recommend Petty Officer Malouff.

commitment, and dedication while recalled to active duty at MSST 91104 from 19 February
through 19 September 2003.
2. During this period; you were involuntarily recalled to active duty in support of Operation
ENDURING FREEDOM. Although assigned to MSST 91104, you were involuntarily
dispatched TDY to MSO/Group Corpus Christi to assist with Military Out Load Operations.
You accepted your orders and displayed exemplary professionalism despite being deployed away
from your parent unit. Your continued commitment to mission accomplishment and "can-do"
attitude was exemplary and contributed in no small measure to the overall success of the out load
operations.
3. Upon return to MSST 91104 in March, you continually demonstrated outstanding leadership
and performance in your duties with the Physical Security Team. In July, you deployed for three
weeks, on a multi-agency operation. Again you demonstrated quality leadership in your role as a
senior petty officer. The dedication, pride and professionalism you consistently display bring
credit upon yourself, your team, and the United States Coast Guard.
4. Your high level of performance and enthusiasm is sincerely appreciated. I look forward to
your continued presence here at the unit. Keep up the good work!

1. Please convey my appreciation to USBP agent William Reed, PS 1 Charles Malouff, BM3 Artre
Rusk and SNPS Josh Way, for their outstanding efforts in the
rescue ofNlr. Steven Coville from the
waters along the St. Lawrence River adjacent to St. Lawrence Park, Canada.
2. At approximately 1815, July6, 2003, USBP Agent William Reed, coxswain on a jointly crewed
USBP boat, was showing BM3 Rusk and SNPS Way known smuggler departure points along the
Canadian border, specifically around the Brock:ville/St. Lawrence Park area. They were traveling
west, passing the main parts of the Brockville downtown area approaching the St. Lawrence Park
wh~ .th.ey _o1J~.~ed.numerous people switnnllng in the adjacent waters including a lone male, later
identified ·as· Mr: Steven Coville, swimming across the channel to lVme Island. As the boat crew
moved within 50 yards of Mr. Colville, they observed him suddenly begin to flail his arms and
briefly yell for help. BM3 Rusk and SNPS Way rushed to the front of the boat while agent Reed
expertly maneuvered the 27-foot Sea Ark against a strong current that pulled Mr. Coville and the
boat in opposite directions. The boat crew observed Mr. Coville go under and resmface. As he
resurfaced, agent Reed repositioned the boat bow-on as BM3 Rusk attempted to grab Mr. Coville.
Strong· ctlrrCnts once again thwarted their efforts and Mr. Colville was swept back under the water,
bobbing back to the surface. Throughout the rescue, agent Reed continued to expertly maneuver the
boat, careful not to strike Mr. Coville while staying close enough to affect the rescue. As soon as
Mr. ·ec;ville resurfaced for the third time, SNPS Way threw Mr. Coville a line he was able to grab.
Both BM3 Rusk and SNPS Way got a hold of Mr. Coville and pulled him into the boat. It was
obviolis that he was suffering from hypothermia and shock as he was shaking uncontrollably. The
crew immediately began emergency warming procedures. Mr. Coville stated he had tired rapidly
again~ the-~ and could no longer swim. Agent Reed contacted emergency medical ass~ce
and trimsfei'red Mf. Colville to the awaiting constable at Gilbert's Marine in Brockville, Ontario.
3.. Ctiast. Guartt···seiu-ch and Rescue (SAR) operations were clearly enhanced by the persistence,

Subj: LETTER OF COMMENDATION
1. I note with pride and am pleased to commend you for your performance of duty from
September 2001 to September 2002 while serving in the Sea Marshal Branch of the Homeland
Security Department at MSO Houston-Galveston. Following the tragic events of the 11
September 2001 "Attack on America" you were recalled. to serve your country in the newly
creat~d Homeland Security Department during Operation Noble Eagle. You began your duty in
the Base Security Branch, logging over 200 hours of security patrols that were instrumental in
the overall protection of the base and it's personnel. You were the lead watchstander supervising
over 45 day and nighttime watches when you resolved over 20 potential trespass attempts,
including a series of suspicious vehicles in the vicinity of the main gate. When Coast Guard
priorities changed and new secUrity missions evolved, you volunteered to serve on one of the·
Coast Guard's first Sea Marshal teams. Your relentless drive and considerable Coast Guard law
·enforcement experience played a vital role in the new operational mission as you oversaw the
escort of 65 High Interest Vessels. In March 2002, upon receiving reports of a po~sible
stowaway, you fought drenching rains, high winds and 8-foot seas in order to reach the suspect
vessel. Once on board, you conducted a comprehensive search ruling out the presence of the
potentiai threat, and then provided an armed escort during the vessel's twelve-hour transit into
port. In December 2002, you aggressively investigated an incident involving a suspicious
crewmember of a foreign vessel taking photographs of the Houston Ship Channel and it's critical
infrastructure. Your quick actions led to immediate interviews with the crew and a federal law
enforcement analysis of the photographs, circumventing any potential threat to the port. Your
rapid patriotic response and participation in the most extensive mobilization of reserve forces
since World War II greatly contributed to .the· rapid establishment of our current heightened
national maritime security posture..
2. You are commended for your outstanding performance of duty. By your meritorious service
you have upheld the highest traditions of the United States Coast Guard.
3. You are hereby authorized to wear the Commandant's Letter of Commendation Ribbon ,Bar.

On 25 June, 2005, a blistering 100 degree summer day, at approximately 1530hrs.,
returning from a Police Chief Development Course in Huntsville, Texas, Hico Police
Chief Charles A Malouff, survived a multi-fatality, automobile accident just south of
Briggs, Texas on U.S. Highway 183 and while seriously injured, unselfishly attempted to
extract and rescue the other vehicle occupants.
Rafat Saulat, driving no11hbound in her 2000 Toyota four-door sedan, left the road
causing her to over correct and cross into the southbound lane. Unable to take evasive
action, ChiefMalouffbroadsided the Toyota resulting in a fiery crash engulfing both
vehicles. After several minutes of being trapped inside his burning 2005 Ford Pick-UP
and ignoring his own serious internal injuries, ChiefMalouffwas able to kick his way out
of the passenger side window and proceed around to the Saulat's vehicle. ChiefMalouff
forced his way through shattered glass and flames in the back seat and pulled Sajid, a 14-
year-old boy, out of the burning vehicle and placed him in the grass away from the
flames and scorching asphalt. Looking back at the wreckage, Chief Malouff observed
two bodies still inside the vehicle. ChiefMalouff noticed two young males attempting to
open the Saulat's driver's door, but to no avaiL ChiefMalouffwent over to the vehicle
and also attempted to open the door, but to no avail. ChiefMalouffthen went up to
several ofthe gathering vehicles and secured two shovels and a pry bar. ChiefMalouff
broke both shovels on the driver's door and one ofthe men assisting bent the pry bar.
The flames had now engulfed the inside of the Saulat's vehicle and the men assisting
moved away from the vehicle. Chief Malouff went back into the flames and attempted to
open the door. Unable to open the door, ChiefMalouff attempted to pull Mrs. Saulat and
her daughter Arshia, out of the vehicle through the window. Unable to do so, Chief
Malouffreturned to the gathered vehicles and secured a rope. ChiefMalouffwent back
into the burning vehicle and tied the rope to the driver's doorframe and to a bumper of a
truck that had moved into a closer position. Assisted by the two men, ChiefMalouff
guided the truck fonvard where the driver's doorframe broke, leaving the lower portion
of the door in the locked position. ChiefMalouffwent back to the burning vehicle and
attempted one more time to extract Mrs. Saulat. The flames became so intense, Chief
Malouffhad to finally back away. The flames spread around the vehicles and headed for
Sajid. ChiefMalouff picked up Sajid and carried him to a vehicle where he was placed in
the rear away from the flames. 22 minutes after the accident and shortly thereafter, the
first fire truck and other emergency vehicles arrived on scene.
The Saulat's were all pronounced dead at the scene. ChiefMalouffwas transported to
the area trauma center and later diagnosed with permanent disabling injuries.
Chief Malouff' s heroic acts and indefatigable conduct, while himself seriously injured,
exempli(y the traditions of a Peace Officer's commitment to unselfishness and public

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I have known Mr. Charles Malouff for the past five years in
both a professional and personal capacity. In all instances I have
found him to be an intelligent, articulate and energetic colleague.
He has consistently impressed me with his thorough preparation,
determined approach, and by his ability to integrate the conceptu-
alizations of theory with the demands of reality for effective
problem resolution. Because of a variety of factors, I feel that
he is an excellent candidate for a police administrative position.
First, Mr. Malouff brings a 'llide variety of experience in
law enforcement. While with the State of Texas as an investigator
he worked in several job environments 'Iilith progressively increasing
. responsibilities. These experiences have given him more than
substantive knowledge of varying law enforcement situations. They
have also provided him with an accurate and realistic sense of
values for the workplace and has instilled an unusually strong work
ethic.
Second, I have had the opportunity to see Mr.- Malouff develop
in the academic world. While employed full-time as a police
officer, he has cont~nuously pursued his degree. While pursuing
this goal he never took away time from his family and church
commitments and managed to participate in various community
programs. These experiences have forced him to budget his time
wisely.
Third, Mr. Malouff's record as a criminal investigator speaks
for itself. His clearance and conviction rate were unsurpassed.
Such a record indicates that he was able to not only obtain the
relevant information for prosecution, but he was also able to do so
within ~he legal parameters established by the judicial system

Re: Mr. Charles Malouff March 22, 2000
Finally, on a more personal level, I have found that his most
admirable traits are an unimpeachable integrity and a persevering
desire to see the final fruition of his efforts. I feel that he is
quick to realize any personal limitation and is willing to seek
assistance when necessary.
I highly recommend Mr. Malouff and feel that he will be a
definite asset to any law enforcement organization. Should you
have any questions or wish to discuss the matter in more detail,
please feel free to contact me at my office (512/245-3347) or at

I am writing to express my a~preciation for your allowing
Charlie Malouf£ to travel to New Jersey for Top Gun Cl~ss 7, held
from April 12-19, 1996 at the New Jersey Police/Criminal Justice
Academy at Sea Girt. I was quite pleased when Charlie offered to
attend, having previously met him at the Urban Tactics Course
conducted at Fort Dix. Charlie originally offered to present a
lunchtime Shield Seminar for the Top Gun Class of approximately
96 sworn Officers. As it turned out, Charlie saved our bacon
when he was able to fill in a 3-hour block of instruction, when
other instructors were unavoidably delayed. In addition, Charlie
was able to share his expertise in tactics and use of the shields
during our raid practicals.
On behalf of the Top Gun Faculty, I would like to thank you
for allowing Charlie to participate. His dedication and
professionalism reflect very wall upon you and the Centurion
Ballistic Shield Corporation. I have provided Charlie with the
dates of upcomingTop Gun Classes, and extend through you an open
invitation to him to attend whenever it is practical. Should you
wish to speak to me at some point, my telephone number is 609-

Re: Charles A. Malouff, Jr.
To Whom It May Concern:
I have had the pleasure of knowing Charles A. Malouff, Jr., his
wife, Brenda, and their children since 1986. Mr. Malouff and his
wife have proven to be loyal, dependable and upstanding close
personal friends.
In 1989, the Texas Legislature conferred the enforcement responsi-
bility of the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Act on the Texas
State Treasury Department (the "Treasury"). As a staff attorney
at the Treasury, I recommended Mr. Malouff for one of the enforce-
ment officer positions because I am familiar with his excellent
record as an officerin other positions he has held. My specific
job duties at the Treasury have not afforded me the opportunity
to work directly with the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Tax Division,
however, it is well known that Mr. Malouff is high~y regarded by
his superiors and his collegues as a proficient and valuable enforce-
ment officer.
Mr. Malouff is extremely knowledgeable of theories, principles, and
practices of professional criminal and civil investigations. He is
also well trained in the area of civil rights legislation and he is
sensitive to its potential impact in law enforcement situations.
Mr. Malouff has the ability to coordinate, motivate and manage his
subordinates and peers in enforcement programs and to communicate
his thoughts and objectives effectively to his superiors and others.
I highly recommend Mr. Malouff for any position for which he applies.
I feel that he is more than adequately educated and trained to assume
a position that requires his particular experience and credentials.
In addition, I sincerely believe that he has the potential to success-
fully meet the criteria of a higher level position than the one he
currently holds. ·
I hope that you will seriously consider Mr. Malouff as a qualified
candidate for the position for which he applies.

LETTER OF REFERENCE:
CHARLIE MALOUFF
As Division Loss Prevention Manager for the Texas Division of
?-Eleven Stores (A Division of The Southland Corporation), I have had
the good ·fortune of working with Charlie Malouff in his capacity of
Special Agent for the Tobacco Products Division of the Texas Treasury
Department over the last several years.
As Special Agent, Charlie has been exceptionally responsive to the
problems of the retail industry in Texas concerning the theft and
black marketing of cigarettes and tobacco products. Charlie, along
with other Special Agents in the team, have helped retailers
immensely in investigating and prosecuting those responsible for the
illegal and costly trafficking of stolen cigarettes.
Charlie's willingness to listen to the public he serves, his
ability to pull together the efforts of various law enforcement
agencies, his ability to "sell" a program or course of action to his
superiors, and carry it out, is a unique and valuable asset in law
enforcement or any industry.
Charlie has a refreshing ability to establish a working
relationship with just about anyone, instill trust and confidence in
those he works with and for, and delivers on his promises.
Needless to say that this is not the case with all law enforcement
officials all the time, but Charlie seems to be able to rise above
titles and politics, and gets the job done.
Please feel free to contact me personally if you require further
information.

Dear Charles
I was extremely pleased to hear of your quic.k thinking and actions
to protect government property on 18 May 1976. As you know.there
are many in our midst that.have less than the desired regard for
bothpersonal and government property.
There are those th~t may ridicule and criticize you for your action·
but they are the same. ones that complain because we -an~ losing ..so
many of our benefits. These recalcitrant· individuals·. are the last
to realize that benefits cost money and when government property is
destroyed, it must be replaced. Far too often the .money set aside
for our benefits must be diverted to repair or replace maliciously
·damaged property .
. _You are a credit to your family and·a definite asset to our community.
This display of c~urage and just plain·"guts 11 lets my generation know
that. your generation will do well when it's your turn 'to _run our.

Dear Ms. Hutchison:
I want to take this opportunity to commend two of your Special
Agents in your ·Tobacco Tax Division for their work and cooperation
in a joint venture we conducted with your department on November
22, 1991.
Special Agents Charlie Malouff and Jeff Bishop were invaluable
to us in investigating and ultimately seizing bootlegged, untaxed
cigarettes and alcoholic beverages brought from Old Mexico and
sold in Victoria, Texas. Without these two agents expertise, our
job would have been more difficult. I also convey to them my thanks.
Sincere~
