Objectives Getting to Know Katie Leininger Assistant City Attorney City of Pearland Objectives By the end of the session, participants will be able to: Identify the types of motions most commonly filed in municipal and justice courts. Determine the appropriate response, if any, to these motions. Recognize what motions should be filed by the State and when they should be filed. Getting to know you Put your hands in the air if: Someone filed a motion and you had no idea how to respond. You’ve actually had a hearing on a motion in your municipal court. You work in a court of record. You wear different hats in different municipal courts. Why file pretrial motions? Resolve contested legal issues before trial Provide clear deadlines to both parties for raising certain issues The court’s holding on a motion may lead to disposition of case without trial Legal basis for pretrial hearing: CCP Art. 28.01 Section 1 Any case may be set for pretrial hearing, by motion of either party or upon the court’s motion “Defendant’s presence is required during any pre‐trial proceeding” (but may be affirmatively waived, 866 S.W.2d 210) Covers a variety of matters, from arraignment to appointment of an interpreter Legal basis for pretrial hearing: CCP Art. 28.01 Section 2 Section 3 –notice may be by Assuming ten days notice to Announcement made in open defendant, any matters not raised court in presence of Δ/counsel or filed seven days before Personal service on Δ/counsel hearing may be waived By mail to Δ/counsel Judge has broad discretion re: Note: if envelope is shown to whether Δ gave notice of intent to raise argument (866 S.W.2d have been properly addressed, 243) stamped, and mailed, State does not have to prove it was received Who files motions? Big Traffic firms Solo/criminal law firms Attorneys “helping out a friend” Pro se defendants Sovereign citizens Prosecutors Who files motions? Big Traffic firms Tend to file same motions in every case May or may not be properly filed (or even relevant) motions May be more or less common in your region Who files motions? Solo/criminal law firms Usually file where/when appropriate May be form motions used in higher level offense, asking for things that aren’t relevant or are unavailable in your court May or may not be proper motions, depending on the attorney Who files motions? Attorney “helping out a friend” (or him/herself) Does not practice criminal law on a regular basis Might be using a case management tool like ProDoc May be irrelevant, badly worded, or improper motions Who files motions? Pro se defendants Sometimes this is an attorney representing him or herself who knows what’s going on in court More often, it’s someone who may want or need some level of hand holding through the court process Usually this person is not familiar with the court system, how to style motions, when he or she is allowed to do what, etc. Who files motions? Everyone’s favorite pro se defendant –the sovereign citizen! Motions are rarely based on Texas/Fifth Circuit law Usually cite civil law, appellate cases from other states, UCC, etc. Fun fact: frequently nobody (including the pro se defendant) has any idea what the motions mean, or what they are actually requesting Common types of defense motions Motion for discovery Motion for new trial Motion to continue Motions in limine Motion to quash Motion to disqualify judge Motion to suppress Motion to dismiss PO Motion to appoint Double jeopardy interpreter Defense motions Motion for discovery (CCP 28.01 Motion to continue (CCP 28.01(5); (8); CCP 39.14) CCP Ch. 29) Duty to disclose?

Burrows Escaping the Honeytrap: Representations and Ramifications of the Female Spy on Television Since 1965 Summary My thesis interrogates the changing nature of the espionage genre on Western television since the middle of the Cold War. It uses close textual analysis to read the progressions and regressions in the portrayal of the female spy, analyzing where her representation aligns with the achievements of the feminist movement, where it aligns with popular political culture of the time, and what happens when the two factors diverge. I ask what the female spy represents across the decades and why her image is integral to understanding the portrayal of gender on television. I explore four pairs of television shows from various eras to demonstrate the importance of the female spy to the cultural landscape.

  • Your Name Here
    GENDER UNDER TORTURE: HOW GENDER SHAPES AND IS SHAPED BY TORTURE by MARITA GRONNVOLL (Under the Direction of Celeste M. Condit) ABSTRACT This dissertation is an examination of media discourses pertaining to torture as an interrogation method in the “war on terrorism.” The major focus is the circular relationship between gender and torture. The project scrutinizes the ways that gender norms have influenced perceptions of torture and torture has influenced what are believed to be acceptable gender behaviors. Through an analysis of both news media and popular entertainment television programs, this dissertation explores the implications for linking gender and torture when these concepts are taken up and disseminated through mass media. With the “enemy” in the war on terrorism being described in media and social discourses as demonically brutal, a cultural longing is revealed for a warrior hero who can effectively protect “us” from “them.” This new hero is distinctly masculine, remorseful when forced to perform actions that cross the line into torture, but, at the same time, unrepentant. As one who fights for the side of good (Judeo- Christianity) against evil (Islam), this new hero is an archetypal messiah. The creation of this new hero in the shape of a messiah effectively guarantees that that shape will not be female. The culturally perceived defectiveness of women physically, morally, and mentally means that they could never rise to the level of messianic saviors. A messianic hero would necessarily recall the image of Christ, thus requiring this hero to be male. A masculine, messianic hero is portrayed as being in a position to use torture effectively to save the world, but discourses circulating in mass media suggest that this is something women, no matter how professional and well trained, are incapable of.

GENRE: Erotic Thriller COMPARISONS: Unfaithful, The Perfect Guy, Fatal Attraction that generated $53MM to $157MM at the domestic box office PLUS $66MM to $164MM at the foreign box office SYNOPSIS DeAnn is a beautiful, upscale professional woman married to Mark, an emotionally repressed workaholic. Their seemingly idyllic life, that includes a home in an affluent suburb, is shattered when DeAnn becomes entangled in an addictive sexual relationship with Vic, a charismatic ex-street junkie, whom she meets as a passenger in his commercial sedan. Vic is “reformed” and in “program.” Yet, his addictive tendencies emerge, praying on DeAnn’s vulnerability, manipulating her into obsessive erotic acts. DeAnn attempts to break off the relationship before it becomes too out of hand. But, she loses all control as her own addictive tendencies are uncovered. Mark becomes suspicious and hires a private detective. Once Mark discovers the affair and confronts his wife, DeAnn makes another attempt to end the relationship. However, Vic is relentless in his obsession. Finally, at the end of a long day, DeAnn, who is home alone, finds Vic in her suburban bedroom. Although she tries to resist his advances, she melts to his will as they make love in her marital bed.

  • Violent Femmes: Women As Spies in Popular Culture / Rosie White
    Violent Femmes The female spy has long exerted a strong grip on the popular imagination. With reference to popular fiction, film and television Violent Femmes examines the figure of the female spy as a nexus of contradictory ideas about femininity, power, sexuality and national identity. Fictional repre- sentations of women as spies have recurrently traced the dynamic of women’s changing roles in British and American culture. Employing the central trope of women who work as spies, Rosie White examines cultural shifts during the twentieth century regarding the role of women in the professional work- place. Beginning with an examination of the male spy in popular fiction, White’s revealing book then moves on to examine female spies, comparing and contrasting numerous female spies in investigative case studies with the aim of answering the following questions: Howhavedepictionsofthefemalespychangedoverthetwentiethcentury? What can Modesty Blaise tell us about women in the 1960s and 1970s? Does Alias offer an ideal vision of the working woman in the twenty-first century? Are women in Western culture now seen as agents of their own futures? In the twentieth century, a period when women’s relationship with public life and state authority was changing radically, the female spy in all her forms offers a suggestive account of the effects of, and resistances to, such transformations. Violent Femmes examines the female spy as a figure in popular discourse which simultaneously conforms to cultural stereotypes and raises questions about women’s roles in British and American culture, in terms of gender, sexuality and national identity. Immensely useful for a wide range of courses such as Film and Television Studies, English, Cultural Studies, Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, Media Studies, Communications, and History, this book will appeal to students from undergraduate level upwards.
