Joel Ercedes Villatoro v. State

Opinion

Order entered February 8, 2019

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-00639-CR

JOEL ERCEDES VILLATORO, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 283rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F16-75768-T

ORDER

Appellant, who was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child younger than

fourteen years of age, filed his brief January 29, 2019, along with an appendix to the brief. Documents in the appendix refer to the victim by name. Accordingly, we STRIKE the appendix.

Because criminal briefs are not required to contain an appendix, see TEX. R. APP. P.

38.1(k), we decline to order that appellant refile his appendix referring to the victim either generically or by initials only. However, if appellant wishes to refile the appendix, he must do so without using the victim’s name.
