QUENTIN JEHLONTON WALLACE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 337th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1488318

ORDER

Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Cheri Duncan of the Harris County Public Defender’s Office. Appellant’s brief was originally due March 5, 2018. We have granted a total of 93 days to file appellant’s brief until June 6, 2018. When we granted the last extension, we stated that no further extensions would be granted absent exceptional circumstances. On June 6, 2018, Duncan filed a motion for a further extension of time to file appellant’s brief. She did not allege any exceptional circumstances.

We DENY the motion and order Cheri Duncan to file appellant’s brief by July 5, 2018. If Duncan does not timely file appellant’s brief as ordered, the court may issue an order abating the appeal and directing the trial court to conduct a hearing to determine the reason for the failure to file the brief and the consideration of sanctions, appointment of new counsel, or other appropriate relief.

PER CURIAM

Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Christopher, and Busby
