MAURICE E. BRAHIER :NECESSARY FOR THE APPEAL;
:PROVIDE TRANSCRIPT AT
:PUBLIC EXPENSE; OR, DEFER
:COST UNTIL AFTER JUDGEMENT
:(cost presented when..);
:STAY PENDING APPEAL
Now comes the defendant-appellant, Maurice E. Brahier, and
motions this court to order and bring before the court the
records necessary for the appeal. Judgement was produced by
the appellate staying judgement of costs for representation
and costs until end of appeal.
The 1992 COURT RULES BULLETIN # 3, PROPOSED APPELLATE RULES
provided for RULE 24. COSTS (B) As used in this rule, "costs"
means an expense incured in the preperation of the record
including the transcript of proceedings, fees allowed by law,
a premium for a supersede as bond or other bond to preserve
a right pending appeal, and the fee for filing the appeal. It
does not mean the expense or copying a brief or an appendix.
Effective July 1, 1992
However the defendant is unable to supply the out-of-pocket
expense for the transcript or supersede as bond, having been
found indigent by the court of common pleas and having just
been involved in an automobile accident. He did however order
and supply the expense for deposit for preparation of
transcript, the transcript now waits for presentation to the
appellate.
In State ex rel Dillard v. Duncan,(1976) 45 OS(2d) 134, 341
NE(2d) 841 the court finds that:
"The burden is on the state to show that a transcript of
prior proceedings requested by an indigent defendant is not
needed for an effective defence or appeal."
However, the transcript is needed to review whether the
judgements of the lesser court are against manifest weight of
the evidence and to protect the property right of appeal.
The defendant has his brief prepared for presentation to the
appellate court assigning errors against manifest weight of
the evidence, and violations of law, fact and right.
The constitutions of both Ohio and The United States of
America state due process and equal protection under law. A
party may not be denied property with due process and
representation.
Their guaranties are a matter of your record in Reply/
Supporting document.
And the transcript waits for presentation.
In State ex rel. Motley v. Capers, 23 Ohio St. 3d 56, 491
NE2d 311 (1986) the court finds that:
In a case of first impression, the court held that a
transcript would be considered unavailable within the meaning
of Ohio App. 9(c) when an indigent appellant in a civil
appeal could not afford to have one prepared.
But it is prepared, waiting for presentation to the court of
appeals on a judgement which may have unduly affected not
only the defendants rights, but the rights of children.
The appellate was supplied with some child protection
guaranties in the form of laws and reponses required pursuant
to those laws. And the rights of the children stand waiting.
The best interest of the children is the supposed primary
concern of the court, the transcript waits for presentation
to the court and the children wait in want of a decision in
thier interest.
The issue of custody is the primary issue of this appeal,
their best interest might be found to have been ignored. And
the rights of the children stand waiting for a decision.
The "forgotten" children, and the defendant, request that
this transcript be ordered sent to the appellate, its cost to
be either held until judgement, or supplied at public
expense, so that they might receive their equal protection
and due process under law.
46 OS(2d) 134, 341 NE(2d) 841 (1976), State ex rel Dillard v.
Duncan
"It is not required that an order directing the furnishing
of a transcript at public expense designate what fund is to
be the source for paying the court reporter or describe an
effective procedure for collecting such payment"
The defendant has included a copy of the preface of his
brief in attempt to spark some interest at the appellate
level.
The defendant demands as a right, that the transcript and
records be ordered submitted to the appellate, in any manner
that might be found in law, so that he might submit his brief
and receive due process and equal protection for himself and
the children.
He also demands that the supersede as bond be waived or
assigned at a level at which indigent appellants might obtain
and protect their rights, or assigned as costs at end of
appeal, and a stay pending outcome of appeal be issued to the
lesser court, pending outcome of appeal.
