COMES NOW, Robert C. Morris, Appellant Pro Sel inttie afcve-Kfylpri' red
cause, and respectfully files and submits this his Motion to Suspend Rules, purusant
to Rule 2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Morris shows cause in support to
suspend the following Rules-
Morris is presently incarcerated at the Smith Unit of TDCJ in Lamesa, texas. He
does not have access to photocopy machine, nor does TDCJ provide copies to inmates.
Furthermore, Morris has previously filed with this Court a Motion for Immediate Court
to direct Smith Unit TDCJ officials to provide necessary paper to prepare and file
appeal brief. A writ of mandamus was also sought from this Court for the same issue.
Therefore, due to the circumstances beyond Morris's control, he seeks to suspend
the following Rules of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
Rule 9.3 - Number of Copies: the Rules requires original and one copy of the
document to be filed. Morris seeks to suspend Rule due to the lack
of access to photocopy machine or service.
Rule 9.4 - Form: Subsection (a) requires printing on one side of paper. Morris
seeks suspension of this Rule's subsection due to the Smith Unit
Law Library officials failure to provide necessary paper. TDCJ
officials limited number of sheets requested and provided, however
there is an unlimited access to pre-printed forms, which in order
to prepare and file appellate brief within deadline, Morris used
the unlimited access to forms .
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Appellant Robert C. Morris, prays this
Honorable Court grants the suspension of the Rules as requested in this motion due to
circumstances beyond Morris's control, in the interest of justice.
