ORDER
Appellant Mohammad Rashid Salim’s brief was originally due July 10, 2019.
This court has granted one previous extension of time to file appellant’s brief. On
July 16, 2019, in granting “Appellant’s Motion to File Brief Out of Time,” we ordered
the brief due Monday, August 12, 2019, and we stated in our order that NO
FURTHER EXTENSIONS WOULD BE GRANTED. Appellant has not filed a
brief.
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Hon. Heather M. Lytle, counsel for
appellant, file an appellate brief with this court on behalf of appellant on or before
Monday, August 26, 2019. NO FURTHER EXTENSIONS OF TIME FOR
FILE COPY
FILING APPELLANT’S BRIEF WILL BE GRANTED. Failure to timely
comply with this order will result in these cases being abated and remanded to the trial
court to conduct a hearing to determine whether the appellant desires to prosecute
the appeals, whether the appellant is indigent, or, if not indigent, whether retained
counsel has abandoned the appeals, and, if deemed appropriate, to make findings for
the purpose of aiding this court in determining whether to initiate contempt
proceedings against appellant’s counsel. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2)–(4).
We direct the clerk of this court to send a copy of this order to appellant’s
counsel via certified mail return receipt requested and email, and to all other counsel
of record, and to the trial court judge.
Dated August 16, 2019.
