In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-16-01512-CR
JOHN ARTHUR HILL, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 363rd Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F15-76425-W
ORDER
On August 25, 2017, we ordered appellant’s brief stricken because it referred to the
victim and other children by name. On September 6, 2017, appellant filed his amended brief. In
the amended brief, appellant refers to the victim and other children by initials. However, the
appendix to appellant’s brief refers to the victim by name. Furthermore, the documents included
in the appendix do not appear to have been introduced into evidence during trial nor were they
part of the clerk’s record; therefore, they are not properly before the Court and should not be
included as an appendix to the brief.
Accordingly, we STRIKE appellant’s brief filed September 6, 2017.
We ORDER appellant to file, within FIFTEEN DAYS of the date of this order, an
amended brief that does not identify by name the child victim and any children.
We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order to Bethany Stephens and the Dallas
County District Attorney’s Office.
