In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-14-00127-CR
CLARENCE DANNEL DUNNINGTON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 296th Judicial District Court
Collin County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 296-80895-2013
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On October 22, 2014, we ordered the trial court to make findings 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 represented by court-appointed counsel; and (3) counsel represented to
the Court that she would file appellants brief by December 31, 2014.
We DENY as moot appellant’s November 13, 2014 motion to extend time to file
appellant’s brief because the extension date of December 15, 2014 sought in the motion does not
correspond with the trial court’s finding that counsel said the brief would be filed by December
31, 2014.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief by DECEMBER 31, 2014. Because the brief is
already more than three months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s
brief is not filed by the date specified, the Court will utilize the available remedies to obtain
appellant’s brief.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable John Roach, Jr., Presiding Judge, 296th Judicial District Court, and to counsel for all
parties.
