Opinion

Order entered September 24, 2014

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00029-CR

JORGE LUIS ALEJANDRO, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5 Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. F13-58523-L

ORDER

The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

On July 30, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is represented by court-appointed counsel J. Daniel Oliphant; (3) Mr. Oliphant’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is his workload; and (4) Mr. Oliphant will file appellant’s brief by October 3, 2014.

We ORDER appellant to file his brief by OCTOBER 3, 2014. Because appellant’s brief is already five months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If the brief is not filed by the date specified, the Court will utilize the available remedies to obtain appellant’s brief.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to counsel for all parties.
