Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas July 24, 2017 No. 04-16-00559-CR Stanley Foster BAKER, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas Trial Court No. 15-1755-CR-A Honorable W.C. Kirkendall, Judge Presiding

ORDER On May 17, 2017, after granting a second motion for extension of time to file Appellant’s brief, we ordered appellate counsel, Chris Iles to file a brief with this court no later than July 10, 2017.

When no brief had been filed, on July 19, 2017, this court ordered Attorney Iles attorney to either file the appellant’s brief or a motion to dismiss this appeal no later than July 29, 2017. If no brief or motion was filed by that date, we warned this appeal would be abated to the trial court for an abandonment hearing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 38.8(b)(2). Attorney Iles was cautioned that, to protect appellant’s rights, this court may “initiat[e] contempt proceedings against appellant’s counsel.” Id. R. 38.8(b)(4).

Attorney Iles filed a motion to suspend briefing deadlines; we construe this as a motion for extension of time. The motion is GRANTED and this court’s show cause order is satisfied.

Appellant’s brief is due to be filed in this court no later than August 18, 2017. Absent extenuating circumstances, no further extension will be given.
