MAC A. DEGRAFFINRIED, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 86th Judicial District Court Kaufman County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 15050738-86-F
ORDER
We REINSTATE this appeal.
On August 2, 2017, we ordered the trial court to conduct a hearing on why appellant's brief had not been filed. On August 14, 2017, appellant filed a motion to substitute counsel. In the interest of expediting the appeal and because we have not received the trial court's findings, we VACATE the August 2, 2017 order requiring findings.
We GRANT appellant's August 14, 2017 motion. We DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to remove John Oliphant and substitute Abe Factor as appellate counsel. We further DIRECT the Clerk of this Court to send all future correspondence to Abe Factor, of the law firm of Factor & Campbell, 6211 Airport Freeway, Fort Worth, Texas 76117, lawfactor@yahoo.com.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Blair Casey, Presiding Judge, 86th Judicial District Court; John Daniel Oliphant, Jr.; Abe Factor; and the Kaufman County District Attorney Erleigh Wiley.
We ORDER appellant's brief due within 30 DAYS of the date of this order.
