EX PARTE LAURA ANN SIPES
On Appeal from the 89th District Court
Wichita County, Texas
Trial Court No. 188,052-C
Before Kerr and Birdwell, JJ.; and Michael C. Massengale
(Former Justice, Sitting by Assignment)
Per Curiam Memorandum Opinion
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT
We have considered Laura Ann Sipes’s and the State of Texas’s “Joint Motion
for Reversal of the Trial Court’s Judgment Without Regard to its Merits.”
The joint motion is GRANTED, and because the Governor of Texas has
withdrawn extradition warrant numbers 14-71324 and 14-71445 at the request of the
Governor of Missouri, without regard to the merits, we
• VACATE the trial court’s judgment,
• DISMISS the writ of habeas corpus, and
• ORDER Laura Ann Sipes released and discharged from any further
obligations under governor’s extradition warrant numbers 14-71324 and 14-
71445.
See Ex parte Gorham, 242 S.W.2d 425, 426 (Tex. Crim. App. 1951).
