Phillip Ian Wayne Morris, Appellant

v.



The State of Texas, Appellee








FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF LAMPASAS COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NOS. 6641, 6642 & 6647, HONORABLE C. W. DUNCAN, JR., JUDGE PRESIDING


PER CURIAM

In February 1997, appellant pleaded guilty to three indictments accusing him of burglary of a building. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 30.02 (West 1994). After accepting appellant's judicial confessions, the district court found that the evidence substantiated appellant's guilt, deferred further proceedings, and placed appellant on community supervision for five years. In July 1998, the court found that appellant had violated the conditions of his supervision and adjudicated him guilty in each cause. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 42.12, § 5(b) (West Supp. 1999). In local cause number 6641, the court sentenced appellant to incarceration in a state jail for eighteen months. In the other causes, the court assessed punishment at incarceration for two years, but suspended imposition of sentence and returned appellant to community supervision.

Appellant's retained attorney on appeal was permitted to withdraw. See Tex. R. App. P. 6.5. Appellant did not retain substitute counsel or seek the appointment of counsel, and no briefs have been filed. Under the circumstances, we will consider the appeals without briefs. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4).

We have examined the clerk's records and find no error that should be considered in the interest of justice. The judgments of conviction are affirmed.
