KENIA LASHAN WILKINS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 339th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1536960
Panel consists of Justices Wise, Bourliot, and Zimmerer.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
On September 2, 2021 this court entered an Abatement Order including the following:
"The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this court's active docket pending supplementation of the clerk's record for this appeal."; and,
"Appellant shall file her brief no later than 21 days after the supplemental clerk's record has been provided."1
On September 9, 2021 the State filed a motion to reconsider the abatement of this appeal, on the basis that the record discrepancy advanced in appellant's prior request to abate this appeal does not warrant an abatement. Appellant has not filed any response to the State's motion. However, on November 4, 2021, while the motion was pending, the supplemental clerk's record requested by this court was filed by the trial court clerk.
As the filing of the supplemental clerk's record both satisfies the Abatement Order and eliminates any need for rehearing, the court DENIES the State's motion as moot and REINSTATES this appeal. Appellant shall file her brief no later than 21 days after the date of this order. No further extensions will be granted to appellant to file a brief absent exceptional circumstances. 2
