[ ] GrantedJudge's signature: /s/ Laura C. Higley
[ ] Denied
[v] Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)
[v] Other: __________
On July 19, 2017, appellant's appointed counsel timely filed appellant's brief on the merits and has not sought to withdraw from representing appellant. See T EX. R. A PP. P. 6.5. Accordingly, appellant's pro se motion for an extension of time to amend or supplement his brief is dismissed as moot because he is currently represented by counsel and is not entitled to hybrid representation. 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).
