Michael Ardis v. the State of Texas

Opinion

Order entered April 6, 2022

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas

No. 05-21-00875-CR

MICHAEL ARDIS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F21-10832-R

ORDER

We REINSTATE this appeal.

We abated this case because appellant’s brief, due on December 23, 2021,

had not been filed. On April 4, 2021, appellant filed his brief and motion for

extension of time to file the same. Because the trial court has not held or scheduled

a hearing, we VACATE that portion of our March 14, 2021 order requiring a

hearing and findings. We GRANT appellant’s motion and ORDER the brief filed as of the date of

this order.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable

Jennifer Bennett, Presiding Judge, 265th Judicial District Court; to Lamonica

Littles, court coordinator, 265th Judicial District Court; to Christina O’Neil, Chief

Judicial Staff Counsel; and to counsel for all parties.
