PER CURIAM

This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to Robert Joe Donaldson's appeal from judgments of conviction for sexual assault and indecency with a child. The subject of this proceeding is Mr. Eddie G. Shell, appellant's counsel.

Appellant's brief was originally due in July. The time for filing was extended twice on counsel's motion. On October 21, 2004, in granting the second extension, this Court ordered appellant's counsel to file a brief on appellant's behalf no later than November 15, 2004. Counsel did not file a brief as ordered.

Therefore, the said Eddie G. Shell is ordered to appear in person before this Court on the 19th day of January 2005, 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 he should not be held in contempt and sanctions imposed for his failure to obey the October 21, 2004, order of this Court. This order to show cause will be withdrawn and the said Eddie G. Shell will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as above ordered if the Clerk of this Court receives appellant's brief by January 14, 2005.

It is ordered December 20, 2004.

Before Chief Justice Law, Justices B. A. Smith and Pemberton
