Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)
Other: _____________________________________
The motion for extension of time to file appellant’s brief is denied as premature
without prejudice to refiling because although the supplemental clerk’s record was
filed, and the trial court set May 9, 2015, as appellant’s new counsel’s brief deadline,
this case remains abated until the supplemental reporter’s record is filed, as requested
by this Court’s February 3, 2015 Order of Abatement. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(3).
Thus, after the case is reinstated, the Clerk of this Court will notify counsel and may
re-set the briefing deadlines. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.6(a)(2).
