Brian David Hill, (the “Appellant” or “Petitioner”) files this Petition for
Appeal pursuant to Rule 5A:12 of the Rules of this Court. The appeal was timely
filed.
There is no transcript as the Clerk of the Circuit Court had pretty much said
in my request to the Circuit Court for Transcripts for the Court of Appeals of
Virginia:
01/29/2020 11:00:15” The record stated that “No transcript or statement of facts will
be filed and therefore the record is being sent as is. THIS APPEAL WAS
with this Court and the Lower Tribunal known as the Circuit Court of Martinsville
(the “Trial Court”), asking the Trial Court to produce Transcripts of all criminal case
hearings, but the Trial Court does not seem to have any Transcripts for any of the
hearings. Therefore, Appellant has done his part and will rely mainly on the Record
on Appeal and the paper filings in Record for this Petition for Appeal.
The statement of the facts “statement of facts” that is in this “Petition for
will cite the exact pages of the record in regards to the statement of the facts.
Appellant is aware from the past filings of the Respondent that the Commonwealth
of Virginia will disagree with the Appellant’s statement of facts and produce their
8
own version. Well Appellant will produce his truthful and factual statement of the
facts pointing to the filings in the Record on Appeal to support the statement of facts
that will outweigh even the Commonwealth’s version of the statement of facts and
again those facts by Appellant will be proven by citing the exact areas of the record
prior to the final judgment of the Trial Court. The Petitioner will show exactly from
Brian David Hill, (the “Appellant” or “Petitioner”) petitions for being allowed
to perfect the appeal from a final judgment in a civil/criminal case that had entered
by petitioning the Circuit Court of Martinsville (“Trial Court”) for a Writ of Error
Coram Vobis/Nobis (Case no. 1294-20-3, Page 744, Page 741 with Table of
Contents, “ORDER - DENIED DEF WRIT ERROR CV”), which such final
judgment (Case no. 1294-20-3, Page 744, Page 741 with Table of Contents) was
filed o n April 10, 2020, in the Trial Court by the Honorable Judge Giles Carter
Greer. The Clerk of the Trial Court didn’t file the Order in the Table of Contents for
this petition under 0242-21-3 but the Order was added by the Deputy Clerk of the
Court of Appeals of Virginia but cannot reference the Table of Contents area so a
different case number referencing the exact same order is being used, using case no.
1294-20-3 record for that order. The notice of appeal was ti m el y filed (Pages 214
9
through 217) on April 21, 2020. Appeal is authorized as timely pursuant to
Virginia Code § 8.01-675.3, if the Petition for Appeal is granted by this court.
Appellant will demonstrate the matters of judicial error (assignments of error) and
errors, defects, and evidence which was overlooked at the time of the Final Judgment
by the Trial Court, constitutional issues, factual issues and errors, and matters of law
in the appealed case including a substantial issue for appeal concerning the denial of
a constitutional right affecting the errors in the Judicial record regarding the
appointed counsel in this appealed case. The case being appealed is CR19000009-
Appellant requests that the Appeals Court review the Record pages cited from the
case in this Petition and Appellant confirms that he has reviewed over the Record in
this Appeal thanks to the Deputy Clerk. Record proves the claims and are relevant
to the arguments.
The Commonwealth will have their own “Statement of the Facts” as is their
right, but the Appellant will present its Statement of the Facts based upon evidence
on the record that was not impeached and was not suppressed as evidence prior to
the Final Judgment, but was clearly overlooked and was not addressed by the Trial
Court prior to disposition. New evidence is in the Writ of Error Coram Vobis final
10
judgment which is clearly more evidence than evidence overlooked in the judgments
entered in Appeal cases no. 1294-20-3 and 1295-20-3. This appeal petition raises
evidence and factual issues which could not have been raised in cases no. 1294-20-3
and 1295-20-3 even though the Petitions in those appeals raise substantial factual
and evidence issues in those appeals as well. Each Appeal Petition shows a defective
prosecution in its own respect. This one will focus on the Writ of Error Coram
Virginia.
The pages cited in the Record are with one (1) page included which is the
07:01:45 EST”. A one-page difference. So, if the page cited for example is 201, then
the Trial Court record should be 200 without the Table of Contents, but the PDF File
of the Trial Court record will say 201 when it includes the Table of Contents which
is 1 page. Appellant is following the page of the entire PDF file record with the
TABLE OF CONTENTS included, so the page count will be 1-page more than the

part of the COMPLAINT: “When the male was detained he was read
him get naked and take pictures of himself.” That was part of the
elemental basis for why his charge had stuck in the Trial Court and
stuck in the General District Court on December 21, 2018 was because
they were given the impression that Brian could not have proven the
man in the hoodie was real, the judge didn’t believe there was a man
wearing the hoodie, and that the Officers acted like they searched for a
man wearing the hoodie but never updated the Court in writing as to
whether they were able to locate the man or not, so Appellant assumes
they never found him. However, Appellant had new evidence that
proves factual defects in the original arrest warrant noted above. The

wrong or lying because they never could find a man wearing a hoodie
arrested for indecent exposure and took testimony from Brian David
into the issues he felt he wanted to report to the Police Officer Robert
Jones. See Pages 58 (Exhibit 0) through 70. Appellant clearly had the
people, possibly in retaliation for the FOIA Lawsuit and 2255 Motion
for requesting acquittal for his Federal charge and wrongful conviction.

the very same Medical Record that was filed by Appellant pro se in

also shows that they never tested his Type 1 Diabetic blood sugar when
they knew he was diabetic (pg. 200, Case no. 1294-20-3). That also

tachycardia with a heart rate of 100 beats per minute”. From the
Medical Record in Page 146 of the record, it is clear that Brian had a
times at the Hospital on the day of his arrest for Indecent Exposure
after being at the Hospital for an estimated 1 hour or less there, not
enough time to fully check his health to make sure that he was truly
medically cleared, they did not. Around 4:09AM the “Pulse 119”,
around 5:01AM “Pulse 106”. Those readings were actually worse than
“Sunday, November 18, 2017”, according to Page 144, Case no. 1294-
September 21, 2018, his blood pulse was actually worse than the last
time he was admitted in the Hospital but they never actually did any
laboratory tests when they clearly should have when considering his
behavior described by police and didn’t even understood that Brian was
released a patient knowing that Jail has the worst Medical Care, they
checked his blood sugar knowing that was he was diabetic before they
20
discharged him and not even giving him an hour at the Hospital. Hardly
gave any time to actually give any thorough medical clearing. Then on
to jail.” That actually does not say the words “cleared” from a regular
medical standpoint and they could not legally say so when evidence
showed that Brian had Tachycardia readings that were actually higher
than Brian’s last Hospital stay in 2017. That is all in the Record prior to
the final conviction of Brian David Hill for Indecent Exposure. So, it is
a FACT that Brian was not medically cleared and that the Arresting
wrong when the evidence had shown that Brian was not medically
cleared at all. There were Laboratory tests being ordered on Page 205
of the Record in Case no. 1294-20-3. See from the Record it said that
“The following items were deleted from the chart, and then 04:52

5. When Appellant had filed his Motion to Withdraw the Appeal in the
Trial Court which is Pages 422 of 961 of the Record in Case no. 1294-
22
20-3, Page 434 the Trial Court Judge only considered his “Motion to
that Brian actually plead guilty, he did not plead guilty, it was
marked out by the Judge at the time the conviction was entered.
There was no guilty plea by Appellant. Case no. 1294-20-3, Page 434
showing the true strikethrough, the Judge had stricken the words
a black marker pen. So, the Judge of the Trial Court did not consider
Motion with Withdraw Appeal he said that he did not waive his
stretch of technicality. He felt that his counsel was giving him bad
advice or was ineffective. He may not have uttered the actual words
“Ineffective” but did mention those words in his Page 436 (Case no.

Office after they were relieved as counsel of record by the Trial Court.
See 383 through 386 of 961 in Case no. 1294-20-3. In Brian’s motion
claiming: Page 430 (Case no. 1294-20-3): “He has other routes to
prove his legal innocence and overturn his conviction in the General
District Court. Brian doesn't to have to deal with any drama coming
from the Martinsville Public Defender office over what one of Brian's
or July 2019”. The Trial Court overlooked the facts that the Public
campaign alleged by Appellant. Even said in his claim that “but then
removed those from the blog posting out of concerns from Brian's
family that it would put a target on all of our backs.” So, there was fear
didn’t remove the blog post. So, there was clearly some unethical
counsel (Page 381, Case no. 1294-20-3), they still had some form of
24
unethical influence which is a conflict of interest and may violate
but was also overlooked by the Trial Court. Then Brian made
statements which was likely why Attorney Jones was appointed to this
asking for a non-local Virginia attorney away from the Bible belt and
away from the Public Defender office”. Again, that sentence was in
Page 430 of the Record, Case no. 1294-20-3. However, this fact of
facie, from the Record pages itself that the Commonwealth Attorney
and Police Department had defrauded the Court and misled the Court
on material facts which had created Errors of the Record and Judgment
25
further contradicts the elements of the “CRIMINAL

Supreme Court of Virginia, and Constitutional issues that explains why Appellant

the Trial Court for further proceedings to address the issues of “Fraud on the Court”
by Officer of the Court named Glen Andrew Hall, the Commonwealth Attorney, and
the Trial Court not addressing the errors of the charge and wrongful conviction of
Appellant. The errors are so systemic throughout the entire criminal case that Writ

ii. Argument
28
i. The Trial Court erred by entering the Final Judgment (Case no.
1294-20-3, Page 431, Page 434 with Table of Contents) denying the
Petition/Motion as a matter of law or abused discretion in
overlooking the evidence of factual element fraud/defects by the
Commonwealth Attorney’s criminal prosecution by the counter
evidence filed Pro Se which proves Fraud upon the Court by the
Commonwealth Attorney and either corruption or incompetence by
Martinsville Police Department. That deprived Appellant of Due
Process of Law and Equal Protection under the Laws in the
Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
The assignment of error was that the Trial Court had errored and/or abused its
2) for requesting Writ of Error Coram Vobis/Nobis which was filed Pro Se then entering
the final judgment on Record in Case no. 1294-20-3, Page 434, Page 431 with Table of
Contents. That is overlooking the evidence filed by Appellant throughout the Coram
Vobis case showing defects in the FACTUAL ELEMENTS (FACT FRAUD) of the
entire prosecution against Brian David Hill since Page 6 (CRIMINAL COMPLAINT,
no. 1294-20-3) and wrongful conviction as of December 21, 2018. Evidence was clearly
overlooked and should have been addressed before denying relief in that ground as it
wasn’t just on the ground of Writ of Error Coram Vobis/Nobis under Virginia Code
§ 8.01-677 but also under the inherit legal and Constitutional powers of a Court to
correct clerical errors, errors of fact and correct any frauds upon/on the Court as
the facts could have been realized had the evidence filed on the Record not been
overlooked. Very important evidence and facts were overlooked. There should have
been an evidentiary hearing to look over all of the pro se evidence filed by Appellant
and sort all of this out before making a final decision on Appellant’s Motion/Petition as
29
it isn’t just over the Writ of Error statute under Virginia Code § 8.01-677 but also over
a Court’s inherit or implied powers not under a statute, that is the clear error here.
of Petition for Appeal), Paragraphs 1 through 6. It was overlooked and Appellant did
not have legal counsel appointed to his Petition/Motion for Writ of Error.
There are errors of fact and conflicts on the Record and frauds on the Court. The
Writ of Error Coram Vobis Motion/Petition (Pages 2 through 71) brought new evidence
to the Trial Court’s attention than what was even filed with Appellant’s Motion to
JUDG” (Case no. 1294-20-3, Page 433 through 459, Pages 436 through 462 with Table
of Contents).
The letter that was attempted to have been mailed to the Chief of Police of
laboratory results were never done which is medical neglect and had shown a difference
between Appellant’s Hospital visit on November 19, 2017 (Case no. 1294-20-3, Page
141 through 147, Pages 144 through 150 with Table of Contents) and his Hospital visit
on September 21, 2018 (Case no. 1294-20-3, Pages 195 through 202, Pages 198 through
205 with Table of Contents) prior to being arrested by Martinsville Police and discharged
to Jail. That was referenced and used in the letter to the Chief of Police in Pages 62 and
63 of the Record and Pages 61 which has a description of blood pouring out of Brian’s
head which is supported by the Hospital Record (Record said and I quote “Head
30
Laceration/ Open wound of head”) of November 19, 2017 concerning Brian David Hill.
The point of this “Assignment of Error” was that the original Police Department
who charged Brian Hill with indecent exposure under Virginia Code § 18.2-387 had no
idea about residue of Carbon Monoxide in Brian’s home, had no idea about the actual
threatening greeting card reported by Brian, and had no idea about the tachycardia
readings and had no idea that laboratory tests were never done in the first place.
incompetence. Brian was charged very quickly and would not have given the Police
enough time to actually look for a man wearing a hoodie. Around 5:35AM the arrest
warrant was created and issued against Appellant. In Case no. 1294-20-3, Page 200, 197
without Table of Contents, Brian arrived at the Emergency Room around 4:04AM. Not
long ago after Appellant was handcuffed by Police. So not many hours had gone by
before the CRIMINAL COMPLAINT was filed and thus the Police Department had no
further obligation to investigate Appellant’s claims about a man wearing a hoodie, they
just get the Commonwealth Attorney Glen Andrew Hall involved ready to prosecute
against Appellant at all costs, AT ALL COSTS. The Police Department was clearly
incompetent and was ready to charge him quickly. Any claim by the Commonwealth
Attorney that the Police were unable to locate a man wearing a hoodie is pure hogwash.
Even in murder/homicide cases, police detectives are given 48 hours to quickly find the
murderer. They set up no checkpoints on the record, they probably didn’t even interview
or interrogate nobody. They just made their assumptions very quickly and arrested
Appellant because it was easier to charge him with Indecent Exposure rather than fully
31
investigate his claims and ask his mother about the threatening greeting card mentioned
in the letter to Martinsville Police on Page 62 of the Record. It said and I quote from the
Record of the Letter: “Exhibit 7) Three anonymous greeting cards (possibly with an
intent to annoy, harass, or intimidate) and one anonymous threatening greeting card
from an unknown assailant or assailants who sent the four mailings from Tennessee with
the Record to investigate the threatening greeting card. The greeting card could have
been analyzed by a hand writing expert at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). It
could have been tested by special forensic testing for thumb prints, DNA, anything as to
who the writer could be. The Martinsville Police and the Commonwealth Attorney

evidence he files and ignore any evidence of a crime, ignore it all, too bad so sad

ignored the envelope and never did anything with it either. It is probably better that he

dealing with a final Judgment from a Trial Court, especially a wrongful conviction
of an innocent man. Brian David Hill is clearly innocent and such cumulative
evidence proves that. When the charge doesn’t fit, the Court must acquit.
Appellant never even pled guilty on Page 434 of his criminal case. It is very easy to
32
overturn this wrongful conviction with enough evidence countering the narrative
The possibilities are endless here, many more arguments could be made but it is
clear that a lot of evidence was overlooked by both Martinsville Police Department and
the Commonwealth Attorney so they have no credibility to claim that they could not
find a guy/man wearing a hoodie who Appellant alleged had threatened him when
won’t even open up an envelope with evidence inside. A lot of things seem wrong with
the final Judgment in this case and the way the errors keep piling up on the Record and
are being defended. The lack of reviewing over all of the evidence materials filed by
Appellant seems to violate the Due Process clause of the U.S. Constitution, Amendment
XIV.
“…No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge
the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor
shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” (citation partially

Court of Record, then Appellant will wrongfully face further deprivation of his freedom
and liberty by use of frauds, errors, and deceit, even though it is a conditional liberty.
Therefore, Appellant is still entitled to Due Process of Law in the Virginia Courts even
for a misdemeanor. He is entitled to effective counsel, fair and equal access to the
Judicial process, the adversarial system. State Courts must give equal protection under
the law. That includes the Constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel. That
includes Due Process where all evidence must be looked over and scrutinized, and not
ignored or overlooked when making a final decision affecting the life, liberty, and

of fact show that there aren’t enough facts to sustain a criminal conviction, then the
entire conviction is null and void. There are no guilty pleas entered by Appellant. The
Judgment is weak and is erroneous. The new evidence could not have been brought on
Direct Appeal so the Petition/Motion for Writ of Error Coram Vobis/Nobis brought up
the newly discovered evidence showing a fact fraud that Police did not seem interested
in investigating anything to do with a guy wearing a hoodie when they refused to have
even open up an envelope with potential evidence sent by Appellant under restricted
delivery.
The Appellant does not feel it is necessary to copy, paste, and reiterate all of the
evidence pages of the Record on Appeal brought out in the 1st Assignment of Error.

There is clear and convincing evidence that Martinsville Police had refused
and failed to investigate exculpatory evidence of the threatening greeting card, the
Carbon Monoxide evidence, and refused to even interview expert witness Pete
Compton. See Page 46 with the informal Affidavit from Pete Compton. Says “Case
of filed Document in this WCN case. Nothing was investigated, nothing was to be
investigate any evidence ever proffered by Appellant. All they ever sought was an
investigate, even before he was charged with Indecent Exposure, but the Police
FAILED HIM, they failed him. The Police failed him and the Court of Appeals must
understand that they had failed to do their duty which is investigate crimes and
investigate any evidence regarding a crime whether it be a cold case or hot case.
There was clear and convincing evidence raising the issues that Appellant was
from the Record on Appeal that there were two Hospitalizations of Appellant
dates November 18, 2017 (Record No. 1294-20-3, Pages 143 through 147, 3-page
difference with TOC) and September 21, 2018 (Record No. 1294-20-3, Pages 198
38
“Exhibit 10”, through Page 205, 3-page difference with TOC). The Hospital staff
were more thorough, more responsive, and more caring on November 18, 2017, and
it was the same Hospital, located at the same exact address in the city of Martinsville.
Police, the Hospital Staff treated him very poorly because of the police telling them
so that they wanted the Hospital to throw him out and have him arrested as quick as
possible with no laboratory results. The treatments between those two dates had
shown that this is not the normal Emergency Room procedure with what had
happened on September 21, 2018. Both were physical injuries. Both were in the
Emergency Room (ER). Yet on September 21, 2018, they were very adamant on
saying that Brian was naked/nude and taking photos of himself in that Medical
Record and then made multiple entries about releasing him to “Police/Jail” acting as
though Appellant deserved being arrested and Jailed immediately and shown lack of
of the only hope of Brian David Hill being acquitted from the very beginning of
any potential indecent exposure charge under Virginia Code § 18.2-387. The
discharge of Appellant on September 21, 2018 is not normal typical and legally
custody. They just wanted to dump him into the Jail system as quick as they could

glucose readings and released him with high resting blood pulse ox multiple times.
He had similar issues exhibited on his visit to the Emergency Room on November
18, 2017 (Record No. 1294-20-3, Pages 143 through 147, 3-page difference with
TOC). They released a man knowing that he was not medically cleared and no
hearing and all of that evidence should have been debated, argued, and
discussed as to why Brian was not medically cleared and was arrested super
quickly not giving Martinsville Police Investigators any time to do their own
thorough investigation before simply deciding that Appellant was guilty and
push for his charge and conviction by the corrupt Commonwealth Attorney.

element that was disproven by pro se filings and case law that the Commonwealth had
prosecuted the Appellant in General District Court on December 21, 2018 with no
evidence of intent by Appellant. The law requires evidence that Appellant acted

40
Court either had Appellant been given effective counsel and had taken the matter to trial.
Even though the arguments are limited due to the General District Court not being
a State Court of Record and not having any Transcripts, the Appellant still argues that
the General District Court of Martinsville had erred on December 21, 2018 (Page 42,
No. 1294-20-3), in finding that the evidence before it was sufficient to find that
Appellant violated Virginia Code § 18.2-387 because the evidence fails to show that
Appellant acted intentionally to make an obscene display or exposure of his person. That
statute provides, in relevant part, that “[e]very person who intentionally makes an
obscene display or exposure of his person, or the private parts thereof, in any public
place, or in any place where others are present, or procures another to so expose himself,
“The ‘obscenity’ element of Code § 18.2–387 may be satisfied when: (1) the
accused admits to possessing such intent, Moses v. Commonwealth, 611 S.E.2d 607,
608 (Va. App. 2005)(en banc); (2) the defendant is visibly aroused, Morales v.
Commonwealth, 525 S.E.2d 23, 24 (Va. App. 2000); (3) the defendant engages in
or (4) in other circumstances when the totality of the circumstances supports an inference
that the accused had as his dominant purpose a prurient interest in sex, Hart, 441 S.E.2d
at 707–08. The mere exposure of a naked body is not obscene. See Price v.
Commonwealth, 201 S.E.2d 798, 800 (Va. 1974) (finding that `[a] portrayal of nudity is
not, as a matter of law, a sufficient basis for finding that [it] is obscene’).” Romick v.
Commonwealth, No. 1580-12-4, 2013 WL 6094240, at *2 (Va. Ct. App. Nov. 19,
41
2013)(unpublished)(internal citations reformatted).
While the evidence may show that Appellant was naked in public, as stated above,
nudity, without more, is not obscene under Virginia law. Rather, “[t]he word `obscene’
where it appears in this article shall mean that which, considered as a whole, has as its
which, taken as a whole, does not have serious literary, artistic, political or scientific
value.” Va. Code § 18.2-372 (emphasis added). While Virginia does not appear to have
“[a]n intent to commit an actus reus without any justification, excuse, or other defense.”
committing the offense of indecent exposure under Virginia law, the Commonwealth
was required to prove, among other things, that Appellant had the intent to display or
expose himself in a way which has, as its dominant theme or purpose, appeal to the
prurient interest in sex, as further defined above, without any justification, excuse, or
evidence, presented through its own witnesses, showed Appellant as someone who was
running around naked between midnight and 3:00 a.m. and taking pictures of himself
because he believed that someone was going to hurt his family if he did not do so.
iii. The Trial Court erred by entering the Final Judgment (Case no.
1294-20-3, Page 431, Page 434 with Table of Contents) denying the
Petition/Motion as a matter of law or abused discretion in not
recognizing that the United States Supreme Court held that all
Courts have an inherit power to correct errors upon its Record of
Judgments/Orders and to vacate Fraudulent Begotten Judgments if
they believe that a prosecution of a criminal or civil case was based
on Fraud and evidence surfaces showing multiple defects of the
elements of such criminal prosecution by the Commonwealth of
Virginia.
The assignment of error was that the Trial Court had errored and/or abused its
2) for requesting Writ of Error Coram Vobis/Nobis which was filed Pro Se then entering
the final judgment under Record in Case no. 1294-20-3, Page 431, Page 434 with Table
of Contents, when the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled that all Courts have inherit or
implied powers to entertain a motion or petition for a writ requesting that the Court
vacate a Judgment that it may believe was precured by Fraud, or an judgment that was
based upon errors that the Court had not known at the time such Judgment was made
when prosecuted by a defective prosecution, malicious prosecution with faulty facts and
systemic element decay in the criminal elements from the original CRIMINAL
COMPLAINT. The Trial Court erred by not exercising its own inherit powers, not even
having an evidentiary hearing asking what all of the evidence was about and why
Appellant had filed such evidence and what it signified for whatever relief that was
requested as a matter of law, as a matter of fact, and for the ends of justice to have been
met. Even the Supreme Court of Virginia had made rulings regarding a “court’s” inherit
43
power to vacate a judgment or disturb a sound judgment upon later evidence surfacing
showing that the judgment was procured by fraud, a faulty prosecution, a defective
prosecution.
The Petition/Motion was validly filed under § 8.01-677 and the inherit power of
a Court to correct clerical errors, errors of fact and correct any frauds upon the Court
(These powers are “governed not by rule or statute but by the control necessarily vested
in courts to manage their own affairs so as to achieve the orderly and expeditious
disposition of cases. That it has long gone unquestioned is apparent not only from the
many state court decisions sustaining such dismissals”) Link v. Wabash Railroad Co.,
370 U.S. 626, 630-31 (1962). See “Chambers v. Nasco, INC, 501 US 32, 115 L. ED 2d
27, 111 S Ct 2123 (1991), Courts §18 “inherent or implied powers”, as well as Courts
§225. 1; Equity §47 “power to vacate fraudulent judgment”, “this Court has an inherent
power to investigate a fraud upon the Court and to vacate an earlier judgment upon proof
of such fraud.”
It said from the very Pleading under Page 2 of the Record and it said “the criminal
defendant in this case files this motion for writ of error coram vobis in this Circuit Court
to correct the errors and frauds perpetuated on this Court and the General District
Court.”
All Courts have a Constitutional and legally inheritable right to vacate any
judgment it feels is later a victim of fraud on the court. Also, Courts have an inherit right
and a right under § 8.01-677 to correct any proven Errors upon its own record to maintain
the truthful, factualness, and integrity of the Court itself, without such a Court would
44
fail as non-credible and not trustworthy. They do not need to wait for Congress or the
State Legislature to pass a law or rule allowing a Court to do this. Courts for decades
have different rulings in different jurisdictions over the fraud upon the court case law
authorities.

court's restriction of Code § 16.1-106 to only monetary cases in the case at bar was

the jurisdiction of a circuit court under Code § 17.1-513 and the circuit court erred in

district court. 11. Code § 8.01-677 makes clear that the limited purpose of a writ of
coram vobis is to correct only `clerical error" or certain "error in fact." The writ
of coram vobis should not be; used for any purpose other than to correct a clerical error
or error in fact. This limited application has not been extended to serve as a writ of

the entire prosecution, and the law.
Errors exist throughout the Record in the General District Court and Trial Court
of Record. There are factual errors. Errors showing maybe even a lack of probable cause
with lack of medical clearing and Police ignoring evidence mailed to them. The Trial
Court did not know in their Final Judgment on November 18, 2019 (Record No. 1294-
20-3, Pages 434, 3-page difference with TOC) of the Police Department refusing to open
a sealed envelope mailed to them (Pages 37 through 40), signed for by the Chief of them
(Page 41), and was addressed to them. How can any reasonable Judge or Trier-of-fact
believe a Police Officer who arrests somebody quickly and terminates an investigation
by letting the lawyers handle it, when that is very shoddy investigative work? Lawyers
should not get involved in a case or controversy until after an investigation is thoroughly
innocent man when such is erroneous and not compassionate. Courts should be fact
finders and are about the truth. The Writ of Error Coram Vobis/Nobis is appropriate in
such matters such as fact fraud or fact errors. Courts don’t even need the Writ of Error
Coram Vobis statute or any statute under Virginia Code § 8.01-677, when all Courts
have a Constitutionally given inherit power to manage their own affairs, correct the
errors upon its own record, and resolve any frauds upon the court that can be proven
