COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Christopher Pelletier v. The State of Texas Appellate case number: 01-21-00425-CR, 01-21-00430-CR Trial court case number: 20CR1225, 21CR1166 Trial court: 10th District Court of Galveston County On December 17, 2021, Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a brief concluding that the above-referenced appeals are without merit and frivolous. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 744 (1967). When appointed counsel believes an appeal is frivolous, counsel must request permission to withdraw from representation. See id. An Anders brief must accompany a motion to withdraw; neither the brief nor the motion to withdraw may be filed on its own. See id.; In re Schulman, 252 S.W.3d 403, 406–08 (Tex. Crim. App. 2008).

Appellant’s court-appointed counsel did not file a motion to withdraw from representation. We order Appellant’s appointed counsel, Zachary Maloney, to file with the Clerk of this Court within ten days of the date of this order a motion to withdraw compliant with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 6.5 and 9. See TEX. R. APP. P. 6.5, 9; Schulman, 252 S.W.3d at 410, 412.

It is so ORDERED.
