OSCAR MALIK KING, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. F17-71539-M, F21-00153-M, F21-00154-M, F21-00155-M

ORDER

Before the Court are two pro se motions filed by Oscar Malik King:

(1) Motion to Extend Time to File Brief 10.5(b); and (2) Motion to Suspend. Mr. King is represented by counsel in this appeal, however, and he is not entitled to hybrid representation. See In re Jackson, No. 05–02–00106–CV, 2002 WL 172133, at *1 (Tex. App.–Dallas Feb. 5, 2002, orig. proceeding) (mem. op.)

(denying pro se petition for writ of mandamus where relator was represented by counsel in trial court); see also Rudd v. State, 616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1981) (person represented by counsel is not entitled to hybrid representation). Accordingly, Mr. King may not file motions on his own behalf, and we DENY Mr. King’s pro se motions on that basis.
