Lopes v. State

ORDER

Ana Lopes appeals from a misdemeanor judgment and sentence dated March 28, 2000. This Court issued an Order on January 18, 2002 directing counsel to file Lopes’s brief “by 5:00 o’clock p.m. on or before February 15, 2002.” Counsel has failed to comply with this Order. Therefore, we will abate this appeal and direct: (1) the trial court to conduct a show-cause hearing; and (2) the Clerk of this Court to provide a copy of this Order to the State Bar’s Office of the Chief Disciplinary Counsel for possible proceedings against Lopes’s attorney. See Tex.R.App. P. 38.8(b); Samaniego v. State,…
