JAMES WEBSTER, § IN THE DISTRICT COURT
P1aintiff(s), §
v. § DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS
AMANDA CARRIZALES §
Defendant (s), § 44m JUDICIAL DISTRICT
MOTION TO COUNTER STRIKE
THE PLAINTIFF’S TWO SANCTIONS
The defendant and Pro Se Amanda Carrizales in this case, DC-23-06718, opposes and
counterstrikes the Motion to Strike and Sanction and the Second Motion to Strike and Sanction
filed by the plaintiff and lead attorney, James Webster.
My opposition is based upon these points and truths, any exhibits, filings, and arguments
of court.
Points. Truths, and Arguments of this Counterstrike
I oppose and counterstrike the motions of sanctions on file with court for the following
reasons.
Motion to Strike and Sanction by plaintiff
1. Each motion entered to court by the defendant was not intended to delay these legal proceedings,
be considered harassment to any party, nor be groundless pleadings.
A. The motion
to move venue and jurisdiction was to move the court case to its proper
jurisdiction and venue. The details of why the case should be moved to Denton or Collin
County are accurate and true: the contract was signed by the parties in Denton County for a Collin
County court case of divorce, the events happened in Collin County court, the plaintiff lives and
works in Collin, and defendants' main residence is Denton County.
Additionally, the only two mistakes the defendant figures that She thinks She also titled it
wrong. The last issue was her failure to have it properly notarized as she couldn’t find a
notary in time.
In response to her move the jurisdiction and venue the attorney and plaintiff, James
Webster, put in an agreement in his very last statement on his response to his motion to
move to the correct county of Denton. He also responded in kind by email that he would
agree to move it too and the reasons he agreed. The attorney also claimed the courts would
approve the defendant’s motions to move venue.
As a result,the parties conferred, Amanda Carrizales has been listening but staying quiet
for good reasons in her defense against this attorney. Amanda Carrizales would not have
put the motion to move venue and jurisdiction in the first place if she did not agree to
moving the case in the first place. Thereby, the resulting agreement was the certificate of
conference, the dates to request for a hearing for the motion to move jurisdiction and venue,
and burden of proof the plaintiff agreed by email to Amanda Carrizales and thus conferred.
2.The motion to dismiss the case upon learning the factual possibility finding the debt
collection agency. The fact the debt collection agency was causing undue defamation of
her credit, and information that the debt collection agency may be the new owners of the
debt than the plaintiff James Webster meant that the plaintiff no longer owned the debt,
and the case should be dismissed for the right owners to sue. Attorney James webster
answered by email in kind of his defense to Amanda Carrizales, defendant of the case.
3. The allegations that the defendant is making these motions to delay the lawsuit and delay
his payment are denied by the defendant. In fact, the defendant asks for an itemized
statement of how she owes the plaintiff 1000.00 already for motions or emails that were to
defend the plaintiff. In fact, each motion that the defendant or plaintiff puts in, the
defendant must research the motion to give hopefully the appropriate response and why
she was asking for a court adviser for pro se litigants to be created to avoid any issues like
these sanctions. Each research took up her time and has delayed her amended answer,
affirmative, and the other issue she is writing of her counter claim, if the opposing counsel
needs her Answer, please stop wasting courts and the defendants time with sanctions and
strikes and hearings on such strikes and sanctions and allow said defendant to finish writing
it than researching additional motions. If a third sanction after this counterstrike, Amanda
Carrizales will wait for the court's decision on that opinion. The defendant prays the court
deny his current fees in his sanction at the end of the case.
Amanda Carrizales is here to rightfully defend herself on why the plaintiff and attorney
should not deserve the debt amount the plaintiff is claiming to be owed to him by the
defenses and pleadings of her side of this case, not allow him a instant win by default
judgement.
4. The defendant denies the allegations of a default judgment as that is what the plaintiff
intends for the court to do so that the plaintiff can automatically win without the courts
listening to the defendants' defenses. The defendant answered the court to prevent the
default judgement and the courts responded by canceling the status hearing. The defendant
asks the court to please put aside his motion in his sanction for a default judgement and
deny it.
6. Regarding the exhibits, they are not doctored. Amanda Carrizales lacks the appropriate
materials or app that allows attorneys, etc., to combine pdfs appropriately for court. What
Amanda Carrizales presented was the true emails that attorney James Webster was sending
her in this lawsuit, and she was doing her best to present the evidence to court only in the
manner she knew how: by giving the courts the true emails she received in appropriate
exhibit presentation she learned by observation example.
7. James Webster is NOT her attorney in this matter and keeps emailing her like he is in
this case. She, as defendant, can listen and not respond. As Pro Se and opposing party
represent the rules about responding to Pro Se to the plaintiff Attorney the rules have not
been read yet and are unclear especially when she is trying to mitigate costs like in her
divorce case.
8. Per documents online and in other legal resources, sanctions are supposed to be filed as
separate motions from any other motions such as strikes. This is What she found out
reading about sanctions to try and respond appropriately to these two sanctions. It does
not state if responses are to be the same, separate or together for two or more sanctions
nor has the defendant found examples of such an event. The defendant found this
information about sanctions on online definitions, the American Bar Association, and
encyclopedias under motions or sanctions. The motions of strikes used by the plaintiff
per that information was not to be used in a sanction per legal law research by the
defendant.
9, Amanda Carrizales has never stated she was an attorney and is confused by what the
plaintiff is implying in his second motion of sanction and strike. She understands she is
pro se and representing herself at this current time, and the plaintiff is representing
himself in this case, too. The defendant hopes by presenting her defense that the courts
will understand why there is a lack of direct email communication from Amanda
Carrizales to Attorney James Webster in this case.
10. Amanda Carrizales did state her accurate and true financials in her notarized
statement of inability to pay court costs.
Prayer
The defendant prays that the motions of strikes and sanctions and attorney fees for
this lawsuit and the default judgement of the plaintiff are not approved, and that relief be
granted to the defendant to continue her defenses for this case if staying in Dallas County
or her motions to dismiss and transfer counties an approved. The defendant prays she is
not in trouble with court by her current motions and pleadings thus far and apologizes if
she is. She just wants to defend her case in the rightful way to the best of her ability and go
home to her children and finish raising her kids with no more legal interruptions. This is
her first sanction as she never heard of sanctions before now and hopefully prays to the
court that she responded to this sanction correctly.
For these reasons the courts should deny the motions to strike and sanctions by the
plaintiff on this day August l7, 2023.
In best relief of these sanctions,
Amanda Carrizales
