Diana Flores Peinado v. State ( 2014 )

Order entered September 3, 2014 In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-14-00418-CR No. 05-14-00419-CR DIANA FLORES PEINADO, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the Criminal District Court No. 5 Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F10-25782-L, F12-00406-L ORDER The Court REINSTATES the appeals. On August 6, 2014, 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 appeals; (2) appellant is indigent and represented by court-appointed counsel Jeffery Buchwald; (3) Mr. Buchwald’s explanation for the delay in filing appellant’s brief is his workload and family medical issues; and (4) Mr. Buchwald requested a sixty day extension of time from the August 28, 2014 hearing to file appellant’s brief. We ORDER appellant to file his brief by OCTOBER 27, 2014. Due to the length of the extension and the fact that appellant’s brief is already two months overdue, no further extensions will be granted. If the brief is not filed by the date specified, we will order Jeffrey Buchwald removed as appellant’s counsel and will order the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent appellant in these appeals. We DIRECT the Clerk to send copies of this order, by electronic transmission, to the Honorable Carter Thompson, Presiding Judge, Criminal District Court No. 5; and to counsel for all parties. /s/ LANA MYERS JUSTICE
