Continuing Abatement Order filed December 4, 2015

In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals ____________ NO. 14-15-00667-CR ____________ CAMERON MCKINLEY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 183rd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1438743 CONTINUING ABATEMENT ORDER On October 21, 2015, this court directed the trial court to conduct a hearing in this case to determine whether appellant desires to prosecute his appeal, and, if so, whether appellant is indigent and, thus entitled to appointed counsel and a free record. Our order required the trial judge to see that a record of the hearing is made, make findings of fact and conclusions of law, and order the trial clerk to forward a record of the hearing and a supplemental clerk’s record containing the findings and conclusions. The transcribed record of the hearing and the courts findings and conclusions were to be filed with the clerk of this court on or before November 20, 2015. To date, the court has not received the record or findings.

The abatement is continued and the trial court is ordered to hold a hearing and make the appropriate findings. The record of the hearing and supplemental clerk’s record containing the trial court’s findings shall be filed with the clerk of this court on or before January 4, 2016.

The appeal is abated, treated as a closed case, and removed from this court’s active docket. The appeal will be reinstated on this court’s active docket when the trial court’s findings and recommendations are filed in this court. The court will also consider an appropriate motion to reinstate the appeal filed by either party. It is the responsibility of any party seeking reinstatement to request a hearing date from the trial court and to schedule a hearing in compliance with this court’s order.

If the parties do not request a hearing, the court coordinator of the trial court shall set a hearing date and notify the parties of such date.

It is so ORDERED.
