Osa Alohaneke v. The State of Texas
ORDER
Trial court case number: 15-DCR-069234 Trial court: 400th District Court of Fort Bend County
Appellant, Osa Alohaneke, has filed a pro se motion to obtain a copy of trial transcripts "to prepare, present, and prosecute issues on appeal not raised in counsel's Appellate Brief." Appellant is represented by appointed counsel on appeal, and counsel has filed a brief on appellant's behalf. Appellant is not entitled to hybrid representation in this appeal. See Robinson v. State, 240 S.W.3d 919, 921-22 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007) (stating defendant not entitled to hybrid representation, that is, "representation partly by counsel and partly by self"); see also Ford v. State, 794 S.W.2d 863, 868 (Tex. App.—El Paso 1990, pet. ref'd) (explaining appellant represented by counsel has right to file pro se brief in addition to counsel's brief only when counsel presents "a frivolous appeal brief").
Appellant's appointed counsel has not filed a brief concluding that this appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744, 87 S. Ct. 1396, 1400 (1967).
Accordingly, we deny appellant's motion.
It is so ORDERED. Judge's signature: /s Julie Countiss
