Johnnie Alexander Riles III v. The State of Texas
Trial court: 230th District Court of Harris County, Trial court case number: 1746354
ORDER
Julie Countiss, Judge
Court-appointed counsel for appellant, Johnnie Alexander Riles III, has filed a brief concluding that this appeal is frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). On March 5, 2024, appellant, acting pro se, has filed a motion requesting access to a copy of the appellate record for use in preparing a response to appointed counsel's brief. See Kelly v. State, 436 S.W.3d 313, 315, 318-20 (Tex. Crim. App. 2014).
The record reflects that a copy of the record was provided to appellant on March 15, 2024. Accordingly, appellant's motion for access to the appellate record is denied as moot.
In the March 5, 2024 motion, appellant requests an extension of thirty days to file his pro se response to his counsel's Anders brief. On March 19, 2024, appellant filed a motion, requesting "a stay or an extension of time of 90-120 days" to file his pro se response to his counsel's Anders brief. Both motions for extension of time are granted to the extent that appellant's response to his appointed counsel's brief shall be filed no later than sixty days from the date of this order.
It is so ORDERED.
