George Alford Heidleberg, Jr. v. State
Opinion
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to George Alford Heidleberg's appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated assault. The subject of this proceeding is Ms. Scala D. Byers, appellant's counsel.
The time for filing appellant's brief in this cause was extended three times on counsel's motion. On June 12, 2003, in granting the third motion, this Court ordered counsel to tender a brief on appellant's behalf no later than June 18, 2003. Counsel failed to file a brief as ordered.
Therefore, the said Scala D. Byers is ordered to appear in person before this Court on the 10th day of September 2003, at 8:30 o'clock a.m., in the courtroom of this Court, located in the Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, then and there to show cause why she should not be held in contempt and sanctions imposed for her failure to obey the June 12, 2003, order of this Court. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and the said Scala D. Byers will be relieved of her obligation to appear before this Court as above ordered if the Clerk of this Court receives appellant's brief by September 5, 2003.
It is ordered July 25, 2003.
Before Chief Justice Law, Justices B. A. Smith and Patterson
