Appellant has filed a pro se motion requesting the appointment of counsel. Appellant is represented by Michael S. Raign, who has filed an Anders brief in this appeal and whose motion to withdraw has been held in abeyance. See In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 410–11 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008) (“Under the Anders procedure, the motion to withdraw will not be granted until the appellate court decides whether the appeal is, in fact, wholly frivolous, or whether there are any arguable claims of merit. In either event, the motion to withdraw will then be granted and either the appeal will be [disposed of] or the case abated to the trial court for appointment of new counsel.”). By order dated January 9, 2019, appellant was ordered to file his pro se brief by March 11, 2019. No pro se brief was filed, and the appeal is set to be submitted on July 9, 2019. Appellant’s motion is DENIED.

It is so ORDERED on May 29, 2019.
