BRANDON HOUSE APPELLANT v. STATE OF ARKANSAS APPELLEE
Brandon Crawford, for appellant. Leslie Rutledge, Att'y Gen., by: Jake H. Jones, Ass't Att'y Gen., for appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE CLARK COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT
[NOs. CR-2012-9; CR-2010-202]
HONORABLE ROBERT MCCALLUM, JUDGE DISMISSED RITA W. GRUBER, Judge
On May 27, 2014, the Circuit Court of Clark County entered separate sentencing orders that revoked Brandon House's probation in circuit cases Nos. CR-2010-02 and CR-2012-09 and sentenced him to respective sentences of forty years' imprisonment and ten years' suspended imposition of sentence. His attorney filed with this court a motion to consolidate appeals of the two cases, a motion that we initially denied. We later found it prudent to address the appeals together, however, and we sua sponte consolidated them. In House v. State, 2015 Ark. App. 280, we affirmed the revocation and granted counsel's motion to withdraw in each case. See Ark. R. App. P.—Civ. 3(c) (2014) (allowing this court to consolidate appeals upon our own motion).
In 2011, House received five years' probation in CR-2010-202 on two counts of commercial burglary and one count of felony theft of property; in 2012, he received six years' probation in CR-2012-09 on two counts of second-degree forgery.
The appeal now before us, No. CR-14-780 in our court, consists of filings essentially identical to those in our previous decision—counsel's motion to withdraw from both cases, counsel's no-merit brief, House's pro-se points, and the State's brief responding to pro se points—and raises issues identical to those we previously addressed. House, supra. We therefore dismiss the appeal as moot.
ABRAMSON and HOOFMAN, JJ., agree.
Brandon Crawford, for appellant.
Leslie Rutledge, Att'y Gen., by: Jake H. Jones, Ass't Att'y Gen., for appellee.
