TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
Fredell Lynch, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
NO. 2021952, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to Fredell Lynch's appeal from a judgment of conviction for delivery of cocaine. The subject of this proceeding is Mr. Ariel Payan, appellant's counsel.
The time for filing appellant's brief in this cause was extended two times on counsel's motion. On May 5, 2003, in granting the second motion, this Court ordered counsel to tender a brief on appellant's behalf no later than June 16, 2003. Counsel failed to file a brief as ordered.
Therefore, the said Ariel Payan is ordered to appear in person before this Court on the 10th day of September 2003 at 8:30 o'clock a.m., in the courtroom of this Court, located in the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, then and there to show cause why he should not be held in contempt and sanctions imposed for his failure to obey the May 5, 2003, order of this Court. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and the said Ariel Payan will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as above ordered if the Clerk of this Court receives appellant's brief by September 5, 2003.
It is ordered July 25, 2003.
Before Chief Justice Law, Justices B. A. Smith and Patterson
