IN RE MICHAEL LAVON GIPSON, Relator



Original Proceeding on Petition for Writ of Mandamus



MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	Relator, Michael Lavon Gipson, has filed in this Court a pro se petition (1) for
writ of mandamus asking that we order respondent (2)  to direct Layton W. Duer,
counsel of record in cause number 905482, to give relator his client file that relates
to  counsel's representation of relator in cause number 905482. (3) 
	Relator's petition does not meet the requirements of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure.  For example, it does not include an appendix, and it does not
certify that a copy was served on respondent.  See Tex. R. App. P. 9.5, 52.3(j).
	The petition for writ of mandamus is denied.
