RICKIE WAYNE SELBY, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 253rd District Court Liberty County, Texas
Trial Cause No. CR25185
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Rickie Wayne Selby appealed his conviction for aggravated sexual assault of a child, which was adjudicated after revocation of his deferred adjudication community supervision. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.021(a)(2)(B). Before we issued an opinion, the State filed a notice of Selby's death. The notice received from the Liberty County District Attorney indicates that Selby's appellate counsel has been informed of Selby's death. Because Selby's death occurred after he perfected the appeal and before we issued an opinion or mandate, we must permanently abate this appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2). Accordingly, we permanently abate the appeal.
APPEAL PERMANENTLY ABATED.
