FOUNDATION IN LAW
The court held accused on a recognizance. The accused was never shown a formal complaint, which is required to be filed, so as to retaining jurisdiction. Holding of the accused by way of recognizance is within jurisdictional limitations for crimes with a formal complaint on record. Without such a complaint jurisdiction does not exist to hold. A court without jurisdiction has no power to hold, continue or otherwise proceed [Fn-1] [Fn-2] [Fn-3.]
Relief sought: Defendant demands that this court find itself wanting Jurisdiction and dismiss itself immeadiatly.
