Re: Oral argument in Cause No. AP-77,021
Naim Rasool Muhammad v. The State of Texas
Dear Mr.Acosta:
The undersigned counsel will present oral argument on behalf of Appellant in the
above mentioned case on April 1, 2015. Appellant’s counsel w ill present argument on
issues nos. 35-37 which concerns trial counsel’s series of complaints that the trial judge
would not make preliminary or threshold evaluations of admissibility of evidence of
extraneous bad acts or offenses in the punishment hearing and issue no. 40 that the
trial judge improperly commented on the evidence at the end of the punishment hearing
which denied Appellant his right to due process.
Sincerely,
/s/ John Tatum
