Zachariah Arthur Williams v. State

Opinion

Order entered September 15, 2014

In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-13-01479-CR

ZACHARIAH ARTHUR WILLIAMS, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F13-53277-J

ORDER The Court REINSTATES the appeal. On July 25, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why appellant’s brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and is represented by court-appointed counsel J. Daniel Oliphant; (3) Mr. Oliphant’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is his workload; and (4) Mr. Oliphant will file appellant’s brief by September 25, 2014. We ORDER appellant to file his brief by SEPTEMBER 25, 2014. Because the brief is already more than four months overdue, no further extensions will be granted absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances. We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to counsel for all parties.
