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. Chris Hesse
