MARK LYNN MILLIGAN, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 363rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F11-27465-W
ORDER
Appellant’s brief was originally due March 21, 2013. This Court granted counsel two
extensions of time to file the brief and ultimately abated the appeal for findings regarding the
brief. On October 11, 2013, this Court ordered appellant to file his brief by November 14, 2013.
We warned that if the brief was not filed by that date, we would order J. Daniel Oliphant
removed as counsel and would order the trial court to appoint a new attorney to represent
appellant. To date, appellant’s brief has not been filed. Accordingly, we ORDER J. Daniel
Oliphant removed as appellant’s attorney of record.
We ORDER the trial court to appoint a new attorney 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 Tracy Holmes, Presiding Judge, 363rd Judicial District Court; J. Daniel Oliphant; and
the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office.
We ABATE the appeal to allow the trial court to comply with this order. The appeal
shall be reinstated in fifteen days or when the order appointing new counsel is received.
