CRIMINAL DEFENDANT’S HANDBOOK – Order Now!
Defendant’s who cannot meet the custody requirement of 28 U.S.C. §2255 or §2241, may still be able to obtain relief under the All Writs Act pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1651, by petitioning for a writ in the nature of coram nobis, which has no custody requirement.
Sections 2255 and 2241 leave federal prisoners little need to resort to the common law writ of coram nobis. Coram nobis is “an-extraordinary remedy [available] only under circumstances compelling action to achieve justice.” United States v. Dawes, 895 F.2d 1581, 1582 (10th Cir. 1990)(quoting United States v. Morgan, 346 U.S. 502, 512, 98 L.Ed.2d 248, 72 S.Ct. 247 (1954)(quoting United States v. Mayer, 235 U.S. 55, 69, 59 L.Ed.2d 129, 35 S.Ct. 16 (1912)).
Some courts have expressly limited its use to situations in which all statutory post-conviction remedies are unavailable. United States v. Folak, 865 F.2d 110, 113 (7th Cir. 1988).
Coram nobis is traditionally only used to correct factual errors “material to the validity and regularity of the legal proceeding itself” such as the defendant’s death or not being of age. Carlisle v. United States, 517 U.S. 416, 134 L.Ed.2d 613, 116 S.Ct. 1460, 1467 (1996).
“The writ of coram nobis affords a remedy to attack an unconstitutional or unlawful conviction in cases when the petitioner already has fully served a sentence. Telink Inc. V. United States, 24 F.3d 42, 45 (9th Cir. 1994). “Writ of coram nobis is an ‘extraordinary remedy’ … available to a petitioner no longer in custody.” United States v. Castro, 26 F.3d 557, 559 (5th Cir. 1994).
A petitioner seeking a writ of coram nobis must plead facts showing that: “(1) the claim could not have been raised on direct appeal; (2) the claimed error is a defect of a type that ‘sap[sl the proceeding of any validity; (3) the conviction produced lingering and still extant collateral civil disabilities [even if the disabilities do not constitute custody]; and (4) the error is of a type that would have justified relief during the term of imprisonment.” United States v. Barber, 881 F.2d 345, 348 (7th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 495 U.S. 922 (1990).
Alternately, the Ninth Circuit has formulated four factors requiring proof for a petitioner seeking a writ of coram nobis: “(1) a more usual remedy is not available; (2) valid reasons exist for not attacking the conviction earlier; (3) adverse consequences exist from the conviction [which, even if insufficient to qualify as custody are] sufficient to satisfy the case or controversy requirement of Article 111; and (4) the error is of the most fundamental character.” United States v. Walgren, 885 F.2d 1417, 1420 (9th Cir. 1989)(quoting Hirabayashi v. United States, 828 F.2d 591, 604 (9th Cir. 1987)).
A corporation can employ a writ of coram nobis to raise Sixth Amendment ineffective assistance of counsel claim. United States v. Mett, 65 F.3d 1531 (9th Cir. 1995).

Let us share the truth with the people per protected speech, 18 USC 922 G8
Federal judges ruled the state agent Judge who issued a domestic protection order based on the clause of “ I am scared of him “ can withhold notice to the father that he must sell his guns and than that state agent Judge can call the local law enforcement and request, can you please search Larry W.Campbell home, sure no problem
Federal judges ruled that Congress wanted to use a state court process that violated the father’ federal and state legal rights, this court affirmed per Lewis, since this is blog news, I will cite the case Lewis v. United States, 445 U.S. 55 (1980)
Mr. Lewis knew the state judge denied him an attorney, the clue, Mr Lewis knew he was found guilty in the state court, how you ask, Mr Lewis when to state jail. Please square with ordinary words my readers can understand how Lewis fits with no notice required per 18 USC 922 G8
Part II Please explain why Congress wanted federal judge to support state agent Judges who issued protection order based on state and federal crimes?
Once upon a time, a group of powerful people came together and wanted to create a document. Some of the powerful people wanted the people to have rights written into the document, other powerful people did not want the people to have rights written into the document, after a long debate through the states the people had rights written into the document, which some call the bill of rights
Today is the year of 2010 and we still have powerful people who want to remove those rights that protect the people, ergo 18 USC 922 G8 is step one,
Tell those other counties about the case of Lewis and 18 USC 922 G8 no notice to the father required to be convicted in federal court, tell those other Governments the USA has the best legal system for the Rich and the poor must face new Jim crows laws
Tell them federal judges support state and federal crimes caused in the state court process per 18 USC 922 g8 and the federal courts send fathers to federal prison based on their true crime of being of the male gender
Tell them when key witness for the Government state agent Judge Nancy Pollard perjury In US v Campbell it is not true perjury when committed by a judge , nor is Judge Nancy Pollard wire tap order a federal crime when committed against a male.
Larry W.Campbell is a human being blind or not, seems there are many forms of blindness in the federal courts. Check the direction of the political wind before you vote for US cert

Hi
The purpose of this note is just to tell you that my friend was unjustly convicted to 15 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. After sentencing the judge suspended the judgement for seven days for his defense attorney to file a legal authority to the court. The defense counsel not only failed to comminicate the judge’s order to his client but failed to filed the legal authority to the court as well. How can we legally fight this attorney failure’s
Maybe you could make changes to the post subject title §19 Writ of Coram Nobis Liberty International Blog to more better for your blog post you make. I loved the blog post withal.
I have a case involving police brutality, false police reports, falsified video evidence authored by the City of Hollywood Florida police department (they call it, “Doing a Little Walt disney on the Evidence”), ineffective assistance of counsel, because counsel forced the accused to provide the police with a I.A. statement, which the police considered a confession, a state attorney who has a 30-year history and policy of protecting, defending and representing corrupt police officers and police agencies, with the concomitant use of false evidence, knowing that the evidence was false and altered, to a public defender who confessed the truth of the defendant’s state habeas corpus allegations, but upon the subornation of the State Attorney, on the following day, testified falsely against her own client. In addition, counsel speciously “lost” her entire file on the defendant’s case,k and the state, again, falsely, represented to the habeas court that the state “lost” the original charging-package (subsequently, Brady video); to a judge who impeached the habeas petitioner’s testimony upon Motion of the State, “because the petitioner was convicted of a felony”; to a judge who admittedly, knowingly sentencing an innocent person to prison for 60 months. The corruption goes on, and on, and on. The state attorney assigned his TOP GUN to defeat this habeas action by any means, whatsoever, including the subornation of perjury of the petitioner’s own erstwhile (removed due to incompetence) attorney. For a more thorough review of this case, see, http://www.terrorisminblue.com
My question is this: The Supreme court of the United States no longer has appellate jurisdiction over habeas proceedings, as per the AEDPA, but retains original jurisdiction of a habeas action. The Court of appeal in Florida recently affirmed a non-existant denial of the Petitoner’s habeas action, and dismissed without consideration the petitioner’s action in foram vobis. This case will generate recognition of corruption in Broward County, Florida, the likes of which have never been encountered before in lall the annals of jurisprudence, all undertaken to protect the corrupt practices of the Hollywood Florida Police Department.
The entirety of the following link will not come across, but it will give the reader some idea of what is happening in this case.

Would a competent attorney forego filing a 2254 and/ ir coram nobis petition in the U.S. District Court and, instead, file an original action in the U.S. Supreme Court?
