No. 06-21-00047-CR

MICHAEL LASHUN BROWN, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 235th District Court Cooke County, Texas Trial Court No. CR19-00280

Before Morriss, C.J., Stevens and Carter,* JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

________________ *Jack Carter, Justice, Retired, Sitting by Assignment MEMORANDUM OPINION

A Cooke County jury convicted Michael Lashun Brown of aggravated sexual assault of a

child and assessed a sentence of life imprisonment.1 In our cause numbers 06-21-00045-CR and

06-21-00046-CR, Brown also appeals from two other convictions for aggravated sexual assault

of a child.

Brown has filed a single brief raising a sole issue common to all his appeals. Brown

argues that the trial court erred by failing to grant a mistrial after it instructed the jury to

disregard evidence alluding to extraneous offenses. We addressed this issue in detail in our

opinion of this date in Brown’s appeal in cause number 06-21-00045-CR. For the reasons stated

therein, we likewise conclude that error has not been shown in this case.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
