COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON
ORDER
Appellate case name: Osa Alohaneke v. The State of Texas
Appellate case number: 01-18-00102-CR
Trial court case number: 15-DCR-069234
Trial court: 400th District Court of Fort Bend County
Appellant, Osa Alohaneke, has filed a pro se motion to obtain a copy of trial
transcripts “to prepare, present, and prosecute issues on appeal not raised in counsel’s
Appellate Brief.” Appellant is represented by appointed counsel on appeal, and counsel
has filed a brief on appellant’s behalf. Appellant is not entitled to hybrid representation
in this appeal. See Robinson v. State, 240 S.W.3d 919, 921–22 (Tex. Crim. App. 2007)
(stating defendant not entitled to hybrid representation, that is, “representation partly by
counsel and partly by self”); see also Ford v. State, 794 S.W.2d 863, 868 (Tex. App.—El
Paso 1990, pet. ref’d) (explaining appellant represented by counsel has right to file pro se
brief in addition to counsel’s brief only when counsel presents “a frivolous appeal
brief”).1
Accordingly, we deny appellant’s motion.
It is so ORDERED.
