STATEMENT REGARDING ORAL ARGUMENT
The Appellant hereby requests oral argument in this cause. See TEX. R. APP.
PROC. 71.3. Appellant believes oral argument would be helpful given the novelty of
Appellant’s arguments concerning the State’s use of an unnecessary interpreter.
Both Appellant and the State recognize that there are no prior decisions directly
addressing Appellant’s points of error on this subject.
