Opinion

Janua ry 16, 2015 Twelfth Court of Appeals 1517 W. Front St, S te 354 Tyler, Texas 75702 FILED IN COURT OF APPEALS 1?th Court of Appeals District Rfik Question of Srvinq Opposing Party Robert C- Morris v. SHerri Milligan Et M. No. 12-J4-00332-CV

Dear Court Clerk, CATHY S. LUSK, I am writing to resolve a dispute with TDCJ Access To Cvour\t regarding who must serve opposing party/counsel in court matters. This is very important because TDCJ Access To Courts is preventing anfctf Ideny in q legal suuplies necessary to file court pleadings with necessary number of copies.

I do understand that a prisoner can file a motion to suspend the rules for the number of copies to be filed with the Court. I have in the past do this. However the issue is the serving of opposing party/counsel in court matter. In previous filings I have served opposing counsel. Recently, TDCJ Access To Courts denied paper necessary to make copy for opposing counsel. Access To Courts stated that a prisoner only has to send the Courts one copy and the Court Clerks will make necessary copies and serve the opposing party/counsel. I have not seen any changes to the Rules of Court that state such. Therefore, I ask for clarification of the Court.

Does the prisoner serve the opposing party/counsel or, does the CLERK OF THE COURT make necessary copies and serve opposing party/counsel? Any help you can give in resolving this dispute with TDCJ Access To Courts will be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance in this request. I await your written response.
