Hello.

This is MCI. This call originates from a Louisiana Correctional Facility and may be recorded or monitored. I have a collect call from:

James Skipper

An inmate at Avoyelles Correctional Center. To accept dial or say "5" and hold. (beep). You caH is being connected. Thank: you for using MCI.

Justin: Skipper.

James: What you say boy. You back in there aint you?

Justin: Yeah man.

James: (inaudible)

Justin: I done talked to her. She called me at eight thirty.

James: Eight thirty?

Justin: Yeah.

James: What she say? She was there?

Justin: She said she was out.

James: Out and about huh?

Justin: Yeah. Hold on. Let me get her on the line.

James: Alright.

Justin: James.

James: Hey.

Hello.

Justin: Hello.

R: Hey.

Justin: Hey little bird.

R: Huh?

Justin: How you doing?

R: I'm ok. (inaudible) Glad you called.

Justin: Uh oh. I got my friend on the line.

James: What do say there?

R: Oooh. Who is this?

Laughing

James: Hey, how you doing?

R: Ok.

James: You ok?

R: I'm ok.

James: Yes mam.

R: Oh ok. (inaudible) where they got you in?

James: I'm in Cottonport. 'Bout two hours away. No further than I was in Hunt. And can't get ours in Ferriday.

R: Well. They're not gonna move you back up here, I don't think.

James: No. They aint gonna let me back up there.

R: (inaudible)

James: Huh?

R: (inaudible)

James: ??? said he gonna have to do something. Because he filed a motion saying that right now I'm being denied ineffective assistance of counsel because he can't correspond with me. Being so far away from court.

R: Well. lf they move it to Monroe. (inaudible)

James: Well, that's what we're looking at. Either Winnsboro or probably none of Holliday's place you know because he got Richwood too.

R: Oh really? And he wont let you go there?

James: Well, we haven't thought about it. We got Savage up there. Savage is uh, Assistant Warden up there. And I think they're trying to contact him, if he stay in Winnsboro. I don't if. Derrick say they gonna appeal this. So I think we just gonna be on hold 'til we get ruling on the bill.

R: Yeah. I think (inaudible)

James: Yeah. So. But I hadn't really heard from Derrick. But, he told me when we left court, if she do make that ruling. But I was talking to Justin today. You know, I filed my post conviction. And on of my rulings, on all the motions I'm getting back, it's stating there's a stay been in place, but nobody have filed a stay or no record. Becky wrote me back and told me there's nothing on record saying that nobody filed a stay. Wonder why they was saying that?

R: Who saying James?

James: On every motion I got back. I filed a post conviction, but I filed a Motion to Recuse because Judge Booth is listed in my post conviction in a number of my claims. And on the first four motions I got back, there's a note at the bottom saying a stay is in place until the ruling on the other recusaI. But nobody signed it. There's nobody's signature on it.

R: On what other (inaudible).

James: On the one that Judge Joyce dismissed.

R: Oh. I gotcha.(inaudible)

James: Right. We're in the Third Circuit with it. So. But nobody filed a stay. So what I did, I filed a Writ of Mandamus ordering that either Judge Booth recuse hisself or refer the motion. Because nobody filed a Stay. And that's not a properly filed ruling saying there's a Stay when nobody actually signed any orders.

R: (inaudible)

James: Right.

R: (inaudible)

James: Right.

R: (inaudible)

James: Well, I went ahead and filed a Mandamus signing that look this is not a properly filed ruling, there's nc Stay been filed to my knowledge, I hadn't been served with no Stay by either party, the State or the judge, so therefore Judge Booth should either refer the motion to recuse himself, because the issues that I'm raising in this recusal motion has nothing to do with the issues that are pending in Third Circuit.

R: Well. I don't know (inaudible)

(David Caldwell is getting LSP to clean this tape up so that we can hear everybody on the tape)
