Rodney Milum v. State

Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Rodney Milum v. The State of Texas Appellate case number: 01-13-01027-CR Trial court case number: 1347034 Trial court: 184th District Court of Harris County On June 30, 2014, Rodney Milum filed a document in response to the Anders brief filed by his appointed appellate attorney, Melissa Martin. To the extent the document complains of the contents of the Anders brief, we will construe it as appellant’s response and take his arguments into consideration.

We also construe the document as a motion for new counsel, as it requests “another appointed lawyer to represent me as it pleases the courts.” The motion is DENIED. There is no right to choice of court-appointed counsel. See King v. State, 29 S.W.3d 556, 566 (Tex. Crim.

App. 2000); Bunton v. Harmon, 827 S.W.2d 945, 949 (Tex. Crim. App. 1992).

It is so ORDERED.
