ALFREDO RAMIREZ, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 178th District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1396938

ORDER

Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Tonya Rolland McLaughlin. Appellant's brief was originally due August 10, 2015. We have granted a total of 90 days to file appellant's brief until November 10, 2015. When we granted the last extension, we noted that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances. No brief was filed. On November 10, 2015, counsel filed a further request for extension of time to file appellant's brief. Counsel did not allege any exceptional circumstances in the request.

We deny the request for extension and issue the following order.

Accordingly, we order Tonya Rolland McLaughlin to file a brief with the clerk of this court on or before December 1, 2015. If counsel does not timely file appellant's brief as ordered, the court will issue an order abating the appeal and directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the brief and the consideration of sanctions, appointment of new counsel, or other appropriate relief.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Boyce, Busby, and Brown.
