STEPHEN GLEN LIMBAUGH, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F12-21347-I
ORDER
On April 28, 2014, this Court adopted the trial court’s findings that appellant desires to
pursue the appeal and that he is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel David Pire.
We ordered appellant to file his brief by May 27, 2014. When the brief was not filed by July 9,
2014, we ordered appellate counsel David Pire to file the brief within fifteen days. We warned
Mr. Pire that if he did not file appellant’s brief within that time, we would order that he be
removed as appellant’s appointed attorney. To date, we have not received appellant’s brief, nor
has Mr. Pire communicated with the Court regarding the status of the brief.
Accordingly, we ORDER David Pire removed as appellant’s appointed attorney of
record.
We ORDER the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant in this appeal
and to transmit the order appointing new counsel to this Court within FIFTEEN DAYS of the
date of this order.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the
Honorable Don Adams, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 2; David Pire; and Michael
Casillas.
We ABATE the appeal to allow the trial court to comply with the order. We will
reinstate the appeal fifteen days from the date of this order or when the order appointing new
counsel is received.
