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.
