In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00859-CR
DERIC EUGENE MADISON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 291st Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F14-76000-U
ORDER
The Court REINSTATES the appeal.
On March 14, 2016, we ordered the trial court to make findings regarding why
appellant’s brief has not been filed. We ADOPT the findings that: (1) appellant desires to
pursue the appeal; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Lawrence
Mitchell; and (3) counsel’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is that he has had
some medical issues that impacted his work. Because appellant did not tender his brief by April
22, 2016, we DO NOT ADOPT the finding that counsel would submit it by that date.
We ORDER appellant to file his brief within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order.
