David Medina v. State of Texas

Opinion

NO. 07-01-0108-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT AMARILLO PANEL E DECEMBER 30, 2002 ______________________________ DAVID MEDINA, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee _________________________________ FROM THE 108TH DISTRICT COURT OF POTTER COUNTY; NO. 43029-E; HON. ABE LOPEZ, PRESIDING _______________________________ Before QUINN and REAVIS, JJ., and BOYD, SJ.* 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.

* John T. Boyd, Chief Justice (Ret.), Seventh Cou rt of Appeals, sitting by assignment. Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. §75.00 2(a)(1) (V erno n Su pp. 2002 ).

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.
