Public Defender’s Office FILED IN 5th COURT OF APPEALS May 21, 2018 DALLAS, TEXAS Fifth Court of Appeals 05/21/2018 12:52:52 PM George L. Allen, Sr. Courts Bldg. LISA MATZ Clerk Commerce Street, Suite 200 Dallas, Texas 75202-4658 RE: Manuel Fino v. State Appeal No. 05-17-00169-CR Submission - Oral Argument Waiver (Argument set for May 29, 2018) Dear Clerk: I am writing regarding submission that has been set in the case for May 29, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.

I am writing to confirm that the parties have conferred regarding oral argument. Appellant believes that oral argument will not significantly aid in the decisional process, and the State does not request argument since Appellant waives. Accordingly, the parties will waive argument.

Please let me know if you have any questions or require any further action from me.
