Re: Oral argument in Cause No. AP-77,031 Franklin Davis v. The State of Texas

Dear Mr. Acosta:

Pursuant to Rule 71.3 Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, I am advising this Honorable Court that I, on behalf of Appellant in the above referenced cause, am requesting oral argument on issue No. 4 which argues that the dismissal of Juror Bigley from the jury was error and No. 11, the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction for capital murder.

I believe oral argument would help present these issues in full context and help present a comparative analysis of the issues raised. Therefore, I respectfully request oral argument on these issues.

Sincerely,

/s/ John Tatum
