In The Court of Appeals Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo No. 07-16-00095-CV IN RE CHRISTOPHER P. BLOEDEL, RELATOR ORIGINAL PROCEEDING March 8, 2016 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ. Relator Christopher P. Bloedel, appearing pro se, filed a petition asking the court to issue a writ of mandamus against respondent, the Honorable William R. Eichman, II, judge of the 364th District Court of Lubbock County. According to relator, Judge Eichman has not set a hearing on his motion to modify a divorce decree. Relator’s petition contains procedural deficiencies. Specifically, it does not include the required certification that each of its factual statements is supported by competent evidence included in the appendix or record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(j). Additionally, the copies of documents attached to the petition are not certified or sworn. See TEX. R. APP. P. 52.3(k)(1)(A) (appendix); 52.7(a) (record); In re Bibbs, 07-11-00393- CV, 2011 Tex. App. LEXIS 8192 (Tex. App.—Amarillo Oct. 13, 2011, orig. proceeding) (denying petition for writ of mandamus for noncompliance with appellate rule 52.3).1 For those reasons, relator’s petition is denied. We express no opinion on the merits of relator’s complaint. Per Curiam 1 We note in addition that attachments to relator’s petition contain unredacted sensitive data. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9(a)(3) (sensitive data includes a birth date, home address, and the name of any person who was a minor when the underlying suit was filed). 2
