In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-12-00577-CR

GARRY DEAN STRONER, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 265th Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F11-33918-R

ORDER The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

On December 12, 2012, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why

appellant’s brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the trial court’s March 26, 2013 findings that:

(1) appellant desires to pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-

appointed counsel Riann Moore; (3) Ms. Moore’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s

brief is her workload; and (4) Ms. Moore requested two additional weeks from March 26, 2013

to file appellant’s brief.

We ORDER Riann Moore to file appellant’s brief by APRIL 9, 2013. Because

appellant’s brief is already five months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If

appellant’s brief is not filed by the date specified, the Court will order Riann Moore and the Dallas County Public Defender’s Office removed as appellant’s counsel and will order the trial

court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant.

We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the

Honorable Mark Stoltz, Presiding Judge, 265th Judicial District Court; Katherine Drew,

Appellate-Chief, Dallas County Public Defender’s Office; Riann Moore; and Michael Casillas.
