Carter, Brandon Jay

WR-83,286-01,02 DOCKET NO. __________ IN THE RECEIVED COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS 5/15/2015 AT AUSTIN, TEXAS ABEL ACOSTA, CLERK IN RE: BRANDON JAY CARTER, Relator MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS AND WRIT OF PROHIBITION TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS: Brandon Jay Carter, Relator, moves this Court to grant him leave to file his Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Writ of Prohibition, and shows: 1. Concomitantly with filing of this Motion, Relator is tendering to the Clerk of the Court his Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Writ of Prohibition. That Petition is incorporated into this Motion, by reference, for all intents and purposes, as though set forth herein verbatim. 2. Relator represents that his Petition for Writ of Mandamus presents an issue of great importance which may be paraphrased as follows: may a judge ignore a defendant’s Due Process rights and this Court’s pronouncements of law by removing appointed counsel on a whim, without 1 a hearing. 3. Relator suggests that this issue is of great importance, not only to him, but to the criminal jurisprudence of Texas. 4. Relator therefore prays that this Honorable Court grant him leave to file his Petition for Writ of Mandamus and Writ of Prohibition. Relator prays for general relief. Respectfully submitted, /s/ D.
