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.
