Edward Guerra v. The State of Texas
ORDER ON MOTION
Type of motion: Petition for Disclosure of Grand Jury Proceedings and Testimony Party filing motion: Pro Se Appellant Edward Guerra Document to be filed: N/A Ordered that motion is:
[ ] GrantedJudge's signature: /s/ Evelyn V. Keyes
[ ] Denied
[v] Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)
[v] Other: __________
On September 22, 2017, appellant's appointed counsel timely filed an Anders brief and a motion to withdraw, which has not been granted pending appellant's January 17, 2018 pro se Anders response deadline. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5; Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). Accordingly, appellant's pro se "Petition for Disclosure of Grand Jury Proceedings and Testimony" is dismissed as moot because he is currently represented by counsel, is not entitled to hybrid representation, and he has received the appellate records. See Ex parte Taylor, 36 S.W.3d 883,887 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001) (stating "[a]ppellants are not allowed to have hybrid representation" and appellant did not have right to file documents with appellate court while represented by counsel). Appellant's counsel, Kevin P. Keating, is directed to contact the pro se appellant regarding this request.
