IN RE VANCE EDWARD JOHNSON, Relator



Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus



MEMORANDUM OPINION

Relator, Vance Edward Johnson, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus (1) complaining that the District Clerk of Harris County, Texas has not provided him with a supplemental reporter's record for his pending appeal of trial court cause number 1031454. (2) We deny the petition.

Relator's petition does not meet the requirements of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure because it does not contain a designation of parties, a table of contents, index of authorities, or an appendix that contains a copy of any order complained of. See Tex. R. App. P. 52.2, 52.3 (a) (b) (c) (j). Moreover, the trial court has appointed counsel James M. Leitner as appellate counsel for relator, and relator is not entitled to hybrid representation. (3) See Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995); Gray v. Shipley, 877 S.W.2d 806 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, orig. proceeding).

We deny the petition for writ of mandamus.

It is so ORDERED.

PER CURIAM



Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Hanks, and Bland.

Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).

1. The appeal of relator's conviction in trial court cause number 1031454 is pending in this Court and is assigned appellate cause number 01-08-00942-CR.

Court reporter Cynthia Lee filed a supplemental reporter's record with the Clerk of this Court on January 7, 2008. Relator is not pro se on appeal.
