ORDER

 
            Anthony Charles Graves is appealing
the trial court’s denial of his pretrial petition for writ of habeas corpus, which
seeks to bar the State from retrying him for capital murder on double-jeopardy
and due-process grounds.
On July 23, 2008, we received a supplemental
clerk’s record consisting of the following reporter’s record excerpts from Graves’ first trial:

            In a July 30 letter, we ordered the
parties to advise us by August 6 why this supplemental clerk’s record should be
filed in this cause.  The State responded:
            The State requested the supplement of
the record. . . .  It is believed by the State that the trial record is
important to the Court of Appeals in analyzing the applicant’s due process and
due course of law complaints. . . .
 
            In other words, the State believes the
trial record is important for the Court to resolve the applicant’s due process
claim.
 
Graves
responded and requested that we file the supplemental clerk’s record,
asserting:
            The Court should consider the
supplemental clerk’s record because it shows that at Graves’ first trial the
State intentionally used perjured testimony to avoid a likely acquittal, and
that Double Jeopardy has attached.
 
Graves then
quotes from the supplemental clerk’s record testimony that supports his
assertion.  The State’s Brief, Graves’ Reply Brief, and Graves’ Surreply Brief
all cite to and quote from the supplemental clerk’s record.  Also, in his
petition for writ of habeas corpus, Graves requested the trial court to take
judicial notice of all the proceedings in the cause and in both the state and
federal writ proceedings.
            Based on the foregoing, we order the
Clerk of this Court to file the proposed supplemental clerk’s record.  See
Tex. R. App. P. 34.5(c)(1, 3).
