JOHNATHAN COOPER, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 297th District Court
Tarrant County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1031532D
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s November 5, 2018 pro se motion for abatement.
Appellant asks the Court to abate his appeal so that he may be bench warranted to the trial court
so that he may “physically speak” to appellate counsel regarding his appellate rights. Appellant
also expresses dissatisfaction with the performance of appointed counsel.
Because appellant is represented by counsel, he is not entitled to hybrid representation.
See Rudd v. State, 616 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1981).
Accordingly, appellant’s motion is DENIED.
