The clerk of this court (“Clerk”) responded to said motion by sending Hunter a letter on March 2, 2015, stating that said motion was denied in part by this court. Hunter objects to her motion being dispensed with by a letter from the Clerk and not by a court order. Hunter filed a motion for a 60-day filing extension with this court on March 3, 2015. The clerk of this court (“Clerk”) responded to said motion by sending Hunter a letter on March 4, 2015, stating that said motion was denied by this court. Hunter objects to her -2- motion being dispensed with by a letter from the Clerk and not by a court order. Hunter objects to the Clerk dispensing with Hunter’s two aforementioned motions in violation of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure (“TRAP”) 10.3(a) et seq. These two motions were not to be heard or determined “until 10 days after the motion was filed”. For the aforementioned reasons, Hunter requests that these Clerk’s aforementioned letters be stricken. TEXAS RULE OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE 10.3(b) Hunter requests that the two aforementioned motions be dispensed with by a court order signed by at least one judge. Notwithstanding the fact that the two aforementioned letters sent by the Clerk to Hunter (“Clerk Letters”) establish that the two aforementioned motions were not dispensed with by the Court and were only handled by the Clerk, Hunter requests that the two aforementioned motions be reconsidered in accordance with TRAP 10.3(b) in the event that this court believes that the two -3- Clerk Letters satisfy minimum guidelines to be classified as court orders. Hunter also requests that this court provide a written explanation establishing the facts and the applicable law relied upon if this court classifies the Clerk Letters as court orders. WHEREFORE, the Appellant requests that the relief requested be granted. Respectfully Submitted, /s/ Chase Carmen Hunter Chase Carmen Hunter Appellant, pro se 340 S.
