Ex Parte: Zakee Kaleem Abdullah ( 2011 )

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana ______________________________ No. 06-11-00044-CR ______________________________ EX PARTE: ZAKEE KALEEM ABDULLAH On Appeal from the 202nd Judicial District Court Bowie County, Texas Trial Court No. 11F0009-202 Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Zakee Kaleem Abdullah has filed two appeals, both from orders by a trial court denying the full relief sought in his application for writ of habeas corpus. In this case, he was indicted for the criminal offense of holding himself out as a lawyer, although not licensed to practice law. In the companion case, he was indicted for stealing between $1,500.00 and $20,000.00 from an individual. Abdullah states that bail was set at $10,000.00 on the present offense, at $50,000.00 on the companion prosecution, and that he was also subject to a parole hold which caused his continued incarceration. In both cases, Abdullah is representing himself. Abdullah has filed a single brief for both appeals, raising the same issues and seeking relief for the same reasons. Because the issues raised in each appeal are identical, for the reasons stated in our opinion dated this day in Abdullah v. State, cause number 06-11-00043-CR, we affirm the order of the trial court.
