David Henry Broomfield v. State

Order entered August 7, 2015 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-15-00093-CR DAVID HENRY BROOMFIELD, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 3 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F14-33325-J ORDER The Court REINSTATES the appeal. On July 9, 2015, 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 represented by court-appointed counsel Jeffrey Buchwald; (3) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is his workload; and (4) counsel requested forty-five days from the August 4, 2015 findings to file appellant’s brief. We ORDER appellant to file his brief by SEPTEMBER 11, 2015. Because the brief is already two months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If appellant’s brief is not filed by the date specified, we will utilize our available remedies to obtain the brief, which may include ordering that Jeffrey Buchwald be removed as appointed counsel and that new counsel be appointed to represent appellant on this appeal. We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to the Honorable Gracie Lewis, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 3, and to counsel for all parties. /s/ ADA BROWN JUSTICE
