Re: Ex parte Kyle Carpenter Dietrich
CCA Cause No. WR-84,163-01
Trial Court Cause No. 1072796-A
Dear Mr. Acosta:
I filed a habeas corpus application on behalf of Kyle Carpenter Dietrich in the 178th District
Court of Harris County January 14, 2011. I used the version of the Court’s form that was revised
on March 5, 2007. Thereafter, I filed a first amended application on June 6, 2013, using the
version of the form that was revised on September 1, 2011. I modified both forms by inserting
additional pages to summarize the facts of each claim. At the time I filed the applications, the
applicable rules did not prohibit such modification.
The Court received the habeas record from the district clerk on November 5, 2015. Out of an
abundance of caution, I am filing a second amended application using the version of the form
that was revised on January 1, 2014, which now instructs applicants not to attach any additional
pages for any item. I am filing the second amended application to ensure that I have complied
with the current rules regarding the form, even though the initial and first amended applications
complied with the rules that were in effect at the time they were filed.
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
/S/ Josh Schaffer Josh Schaffer
