TIMOTHY LEE BARNUM, Appellant

On Appeal from the 15th Judicial District Court
Grayson County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 069939
ORDER
Before the Court is appellant’s March 23, 2022 pro se motion to file a
supplemental brief. The law is well-settled that appellant, who is represented by
counsel on appeal, is not entitled to hybrid representation. See Scheanette v. State,
144 S.W.3d 503, 505 n.2 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004) (appellant has no right to hybrid
representation on appeal); Patrick v. State, 906 S.W.2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App.
1995) (declining to address issues raised in supplemental brief filed by appellant
pro se when he was already represented by counsel); Miniel v. State, 831 S.W.2d
310, 313 n.1 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992) (same); Rudd v. State, 616 S.W.2d 623, 625
(Tex. Crim. App. [Panel Op.] 1981) (appellant is not entitled to hybrid
representation); Landers v. State, 550 S.W.2d 272, 280 (Tex. Crim. App. 1977)
(op. on reh’d) (same). Therefore, we DENY his pro se motion.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send a copy of this order to Timothy Lee Barnum,
TDCJ# 02345234, Ellis Unit, 1697 F.M. 980, Huntsville, TX 77343, in addition to
counsel for all parties.
