Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas May 31, 2022 No. 04-22-00145-CR Bobby BORDELON, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 25th Judicial District Court, Guadalupe County, Texas Trial Court No. 15-2215-CR-C Honorable William D. Old III, Judge Presiding

ORDER Appellant’s brief is due June 1, 2022. On May 26, 2022, appellant’s appointed counsel, Ms. Kimberly Keller, filed a motion to abate this appeal for appointment of substitute appellate counsel. Ms. Keller states she can no longer represent appellant in this appeal because she is now serving as the Municipal Judge for the City of Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas. After Ms. Keller filed her motion, Mr. Vikash Bhakta filed a notice of appearance (as newly appointed appellate counsel) and a motion for a sixty-day extension of time to file the brief.

We GRANT the motion for an extension of time, and Mr. Bhakta is ORDERED to file appellant’s brief no later than July 31, 2022. Further extensions of time will not be granted absent extraordinary circumstances.

Ms. Keller’s motion to abate is DENIED AS MOOT.
