|    TURMEL: Appealing Doherty nix of late ap    |
|    03 Jun 16 11:09:22    |
      From: johnturmel@yahoo.com              JCT: Last year, 13 of us had filed motions for extensions of        time to file appeals once we found out the Smith decision        ruled the MMAR defective back to 2001 and the CDSA        prohibitions with it. Justice Doherty dismissed the motions        and Bela Beke and I appealed. Bela because he is still in the        system and me just for me and everyone else.               File Number:_____               IN THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA        (ON APPEAL FROM THE ONTARIO COURT OF APPEAL)       BETWEEN:        Bela Beke         Applicant         Appellant in appeal        and        Her Majesty The Queen        Respondent        Respondent in appeal                      TABLE OF CONTENTS              1. Notice of Application for Leave to Appeal..............3              2. Nov 3 2015 Endorsement of Doherty J.A..................6              3. Apr 6 2016 Endorsement Ontario Court of Appeal.........8              6. Applicant's Memorandum.................................9              7. Applicant's Certificate...............................18                      NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR LEAVE TO APPEAL              TAKE NOTICE that Applicant Bela Beke hereby applies for leave        to appeal to the Court in forma pauperis pursuant to Section        591(1)b of the Criminal Code from the judgment of Justices        Feldman, Simmons and Pepall of the Court of Appeal for Ontario        M45751 (M45479) made April 6 2016.               THE GROUNDS are that the invalidation of the prohibitions by        an invalid exemption pursuant to R. v. Parker does not apply        only to citizens with medical need.               AND FOR any Order abridging the time for service, filing, or        hearing of the application, any Order amending any defect as        to form or content of the motion or any Order deemed just.               Dated at Ottawa on June 1 2016.        Applicant: Bela Beke                APPLICANT'S MEMORANDUM              PART I - STATEMENT OF FACTS              1. Applicant was convicted on a marijuana charge in 2013, did        not appeal and has received extensions of time for the        remainder of the $2,000 fine still owing.               JCT: Mine 1. Applicant was convicted on a marijuana charge in        2006, unsuccessfully appealed and unsuccessfully sought leave        to appeal to the Supreme Court.               2. In June 2015, the Supreme Court in Smith v. HMQ struck down        the prohibition on any application but dried marijuana as a        violation of the Charter.               3. Just as the Hitzig "Bad Exemption" [2003] by regulated Mis-       Supply meant there was "No Offence" in force since Aug 1 2001        absent an acceptable medical exemption when J.P. was charged;        so too, the Smith Worse "Bad Exemption" [2015] by regulated        Mis-Use means there was "No Offence" in force since Aug 1 2001        absent an acceptable medical exemption when the Accused herein        was charged; this Court is bound by the Ontario Court of        Appeal's J.P. precedent to declare that NO OFFENCE was in        force while the Smith BAD EXEMPTION existed since Aug. 1 2001,        the same as Hitzig, on Terry Parker Day.               4. Given there was no valid offence when the Accused was        charged, Applicant sought an extension of time to appeal the        conviction on the new grounds offered in Smith.               5. On Nov 10, the decision of Court of Appeal Justice Doherty        dismissed the application with the endorsement:         ENDORSEMENT        [1] The applicant seeks an extension of time to further         appeal his conviction. That conviction was already the         subject of an appeal to this court (R. v. Turmel, 207 ONCA         133). That appeal was dismissed on its merits and leave to         appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada was refused.        [2] Mr. Turmel submits that he is entitled to bring a         fresh appeal based on changes in the law effected by case         law decided after his appeal was considered and dismissed         (R. v. Smith, 2015 SCC). He argues that Smith changes the         legal landscape and that on the present state of the law         he would be entitled to an acquittal.        [3] A party is not entitled to appeal the same conviction         more than once. The order dismissing the appeal renders         any new appeal res judicata. Counsel may, in limited         circumstances, move to reopen a decided appeal: R. v.         Hummel (2003), 175 C.C.C. (3d) 1.         Assuming that power exists when the appeal has been         dismissed on the merits, it cannot be exercised on the         basis of case law decided when the appeal was no longer         "in the judicial system": see R. v. Sarson (1996), 107         C.C.C. (3d) 20 at 30-31 (SCC).        [4] Finality concerns trump the applicant's claim to re-        litigate his appeal based on developments in the case law         that postdate the dismissal of his appeal and the refusing         of leave to appeal.        [5] The application is dismissed.              6. Applicant appealed asking for an Order:         A) setting aside the Nov 10 decision of Ontario Court of         Appeal Justice Doherty and granting an extension of time         to file a new Notice of Appeal, or, in the alternative,         B) converting the application to extend time to file a new         appeal to an application to extend time to reopen a         decided appeal.               JCT: At this point, I wrote:               7. Applicant argued:         [1] Applicant's 2007 Appeal was not dismissed on its         merits but for lack of jurisdiction because the Chief         Justice had refused the requested 5-judge panel necessary         to overrule the Hitzig and J.P. decisions.         [2] Applicant cedes the past conviction shouldn't be         changed due to the present state of the law; but argues         only the retrospective, not present, state of the law when         charged.         [3] Parties should be permitted to appeal the same         conviction a second time in the case where no other         charges were available.         [4] The Supreme Court wrote in Sarson:         [14] The Appellant's continued detention pursuant to         a conviction for second degree murder does not amount         to a breach of fundamental justice. Although the         appellant's conviction was entered under a         constitutionally infirm provision of the Code, the         circumstances leading to his conviction under that         section are important in assessing the propriety of         the appellant's conviction and ultimate sentence.         [15].. the appellant's involvement in Crispin's death               [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
