                                 MOTION   TO   SUSPEND RULES

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Robert C. Morris, Appellant Pro Sel inttie afcve-Kfylpri'                red

cause, and respectfully files and submits this his Motion to Suspend Rules, purusant
to Rule 2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. Morris shows cause in support to
suspend the following Rules-
      Morris is presently incarcerated at the Smith Unit       of TDCJ in Lamesa, texas. He
does not have access to photocopy machine, nor does TDCJ       provide copies to inmates.
Furthermore, Morris has previously filed with this Court       a Motion for Immediate Court
to direct Smith Unit TDCJ officials to provide necessary       paper to prepare and file
appeal brief. A writ of mandamus was also sought from this Court for the same issue.
      Therefore, due to the circumstances beyond Morris's control, he seeks to suspend
the following Rules of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
      Rule 9.3 - Number of Copies: the Rules requires original and one copy of the
                  document to be filed. Morris seeks to suspend Rule due to the lack
                  of access to photocopy machine or service.
      Rule 9.4 - Form: Subsection (a) requires printing on one side of paper. Morris
                  seeks suspension of this Rule's subsection due to the Smith Unit
                  Law Library officials failure to provide necessary paper. TDCJ
                  officials limited number of sheets requested and provided, however
                  there is an unlimited access to pre-printed forms, which in order
                  to prepare and file appellate brief within deadline, Morris used
                  the unlimited access to forms .

                                            PRAYER

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Appellant Robert C. Morris, prays this
Honorable Court grants the suspension of the Rules as requested in this motion due to
circumstances beyond Morris's control, in the interest of justice.
                                                                 :fully Submitted
