In re William Kincaide, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Relator, William Kincaide, has filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus, complaining about judicial bias in the underlying criminal proceedings and the trial court’s failure to dismiss court-appointed counsel on relator’s request.[1]  Relator also requests that we transfer his case to a different trial court.   

          Relator’s petition is procedurally defective.  See, e.g., Tex. R. App. P. 9.5(a), (d), (e) (requiring proof that copies of documents presented to court for filing were served on all parties to proceeding); Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(a) (requiring that petition include complete list of parties and names and addresses of counsel); Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(b)-(f) (requiring that petition include table of contents, index of authorities, statement of case, statement of jurisdiction, and issues presented); Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(h) (requiring that petition include appropriate citations to authorities and appendix or record materials); Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(j) (requiring that relator certify he reviewed petition and concluded that every factual statement is supported by competent evidence included in appendix or record); Tex. R. App. P. 52.3(k) (requiring that appendix include certified or sworn copy of any document showing matter complained of); Tex. R. App. P. 52.7(requiring relator to file record with petition). 

Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. 

PER CURIAM
