DRALON DURAN PATTERSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F19-75183-L
ORDER
ROBERT D. BURNS, III CHIEF JUSTICE
Before the Court is appellant's motion to reconsider our July 22 order which struck his brief and ordered an amended brief be filed. In the motion, appellant notes that the name he used in his brief is the pseudonym the complainant used during trial.
When we reviewed appellant's brief and the clerk's record, nothing indicated the name used was a pseudonym. However, our review of the nine-volume reporter's record confirms the name is a pseudonym. We GRANT appellant's motion to reconsider to the extent he does not have to file an amended brief. However, once a document is struck from TAMES, it is no longer accessible by the Court and we cannot recover the document under any circumstances. Thus, to the extent appellant asks us to reconsider our decision to strike the brief, we DENY appellant's request as moot.
If appellant wishes to have a brief on file with the Court, he will have to refile his brief with the Court.
