Continuing Abatement Order filed November 14, 2019 In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-19-00177-CR ____________ RYAN JIVARO WHITAKER, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 230th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1463151 CONTINUING ABATEMENT ORDER On July 16, 2019, this court directed the trial court to conduct a hearing in this case to determine why appellant’s brief had not been filed by appointed counsel. Our order required the trial judge to see that a record of the hearing is made, make findings of fact and conclusions of law, and order the trial clerk to forward a record of the hearing and a supplemental clerk’s record containing the findings and conclusions. The transcribed record of the hearing and the courts findings and conclusions were to be filed with the clerk of this court on or before August 15, 2019. To date, the court has not received a supplemental clerk’s record containing the trial court’s findings. The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this court’s active docket. The appeal will be reinstated on this court’s active docket when the trial court’s findings and recommendations, including an order appointing new counsel, are filed in this court. The court will also consider an appropriate motion to reinstate the appeal filed by either party. It is the responsibility of any party seeking reinstatement to request a hearing date from the trial court and to schedule a hearing in compliance with this court’s order. If the parties do not request a hearing, the court coordinator of the trial court shall set a hearing date and notify the parties of such date. It is so ORDERED. PER CURIAM Panel Consists of Justices Zimmerer, Spain, and Hassan.
