FROM THE 108TH DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY;


NO. 43029-E; HON. ABE LOPEZ, PRESIDING

_______________________________


Before QUINN and REAVIS, JJ., and BOYD, SJ. (1)

David Medina (appellant) appeals from a final judgment under which he was convicted of delivery of a controlled substance. Through a single issue, he contends that he was denied due process and a fair trial since the "State failed to allow [him] to take a shower or sleep on anything other than concrete prior to the [punishment] hearing" and the trial court "would not allow him to explain his appearance to the jury." This issue is identical to that raised in David Medina v. State, No. 07-01-0107-CR, pending in this court.

Consequently, we adopt the reasoning and discussion in our opinion issued this day in cause number 07-01-0107-CR and conclude that it sufficiently disposes of the single issue appellant raises at bar. In doing so, we also overrule appellant's contention and affirm the judgment entered below.
