ERNEST EDWARD GAINES, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 282nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F-0556570-S
ORDER
Before Justices Francis, Fillmore, and Schenck
The Court has before it appellant Ernest Edward Gaines's April 26, 2017 Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint. In his April 26, 2017 motion, Gaines relies on rule of appellate procedure 68.10, which refers to petitions for discretionary review filed with the Court of Criminal Appeals, as authority for his request that this Court grant leave to file an "Amended Complaint at any time justice requires." See TEX. R. APP. P. 68.1 ("On petition by any party, the Court of Criminal Appeals may review a court of appeals' decision in a criminal case."); 68.10 ("Upon motion the petition or a reply may be amended or supplemented at any time justice requires."). We DENY Gaines's April 26, 2017 Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint.
