Donald Ray McKinney v. State

Opinion

Order entered December 18, 2015

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-01350-CR

DONALD RAY MCKINNEY, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 7 Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F12-47067-Y

ORDER

The Court has before it appellant’s December 17, 2015 motion to allow a brief in excess of the word limits. The motion states, and the record reflects, that appellant was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a child. Appellant’s brief identifies the complaining witness by her full name. Accordingly, we STRIKE the appellant’s brief received on December 17, 2015. We ORDER appellant to file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, an amended brief that identifies the complaining witness and any other children mentioned in the brief by initials only.

The Court will defer ruling on appellant’s motion to allow the extra words until it has received the amended brief.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to counsel for all parties.
