IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS

OF TEXAS




NO. PD- 1817-08




NAOMI LOUTRICIA JOHNSON, Appellant

                                                                      v.

                                                  THE STATE OF TEXAS


                                                                             

ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR BAIL PENDING APPEAL

UNDER ARTICLE 44.04(h), V.A.C.C.P.

                               FROM THE NINTH COURT OF APPEALS

JEFFERSON COUNTY





                                                              O R D E R



            Appellant was convicted of murder in Cause No. 85,800 in the 252nd District Court of Jefferson County. The trial court sentenced her to confinement for 35 years. The Court of Appeals reversed the conviction and remanded the case to the trial court. Johnson v. State, ___ S.W.3d ___(Tex. App. – Beaumont No. 09-06-00510-CR, delivered November 5, 2008). The State has filed a petition for discretionary review which is at the Court of Appeals.

           Appellant has applied to this Court under Article 44.04(h) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, to set a reasonable bail pending final determination of the appeal. However, before this Court can set a reasonable bail we must have adequate information upon which to determine a reasonable amount. Appellant fails to provide adequate information. See Montalvo v. State, 786 S.W.2d 710 (Tex.Cr.App. 1989).

           Therefore, Appellant must redraft her request for bail under Art. 44.04(h) in order for this Court to set a reasonable bail.

           IT IS SO ORDERED this the 23rd day of March, 2009.
