IN RE CHRISTOPHER MICHAEL BUTLER, Relator

Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus

MEMORANDUM OPINION Relator Christopher Michael Butler has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus complaining of Judge Hufstetler's ⁽¹⁾ alleged failure to conduct a hearing on Butler's motions regarding (1) effective assistance of Butler's appointed counsel, (2) Butler's objection to the appointment of a visiting judge, and (3) Butler's "appeal" of an initial permanency hearing. Butler's petition, however, does not contain a certified or sworn copy of any of these three motions, as required by Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 52.3(j)(1)(A).

We deny the petition for a writ of mandamus.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Chief Justice Radack and Justices Alcala and Higley.
