EX PARTE DORIAN CHRISTOPHER LUGO

On Appeal from the 506th Judicial District Court

Waller County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 20-10-17466

MEMORANDUM OPINION

On March 3, 2021, appellant filed an appeal from the trial court’s denial of 

his application for a writ of habeas corpus. On June 22, 2021, this court ordered a 

hearing to determine why appellant’s counsel has not filed a brief in this appeal. 

On July 14, 2021, a supplemental clerk’s record with the findings of facts and 

conclusions of law and the reporter’s record of a hearing held on July 2, 2021, was 

filed in this court. The trial court’s findings and the hearing record reflect that

appellant no longer wishes to pursue his appeal. 
2

Appellant has not filed a written motion to withdraw the appeal or a written 

motion to dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). However, based upon 

the testimony at the hearing that appellant does not want to continue his appeal, we 

conclude that good cause exists to suspend the operation of Rule 42.2(a) in this 

case. See Tex. R. App. P. 2. 

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. 

Per Curiam

Panel consists of Chief Justice Christopher and Justices Zimmerer and Hassan.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Middle District of Florida 

________________________

(October 15, 2012)

Before TJOFLAT, JORDAN and ANDERSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

In administrative proceedings before the U.S. Department of Agriculture

Case: 11-13186 Date Filed: 10/15/2012 Page: 1 of 2 
(“USDA”), the National Appeals Division (of the USDA) determined that

Mariculture Technologies International, Inc., must refund the federal crop disaster

assistance payment it had received, $27,492, for business losses due to hurricanes

that struck Florida in 1994. The refund was ordered because Mariculture failed to

comply with the requirement that it purchase Non-insured Crop Disaster

Assistance Program (“NAP”) coverage for two years. Mariculture brought this

action in the District Court as an appeal of that administrative decision. 

In an order entered on June 9, 2011, the District Court, on the basis of the

administrative record, granted the Secretary of the USDA (and the Farm Service

Agency) judgment. The court concluded that the refund decision was supported

by substantial evidence and was not arbitrary, capricious or an abuse of discretion.

Mariculture appeals the District Court’s judgment, arguing that the District

Court’s findings (in support of its judgment) are “clearly erroneous.” Appellant’s

Br. at 20, 27-29. We find no merit in Mariculture’s appeal, for the reasons stated

in the District Court’s June 9, 2011 order, and therefore affirm.

AFFIRMED.

FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD

77K Street, NE Washington, DC 20002

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 11, 2013

FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD RELEASES A 

REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR A MANAGER FOR THE I FUND 

Washington, D.C. -- The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB) 

announced today that it has released a request for proposal for a fund manager for its

International Stock Index Investment Fund (I Fund). The I Fund invests in a stock index 

fund that fully replicates the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE (Europe, 

Australasia, Far East) Index. The earnings consist of gains (or losses) in the price of 

stocks, dividend income, and change in the relative value of currencies. As of May 2013, 

the I Fund held $28.8 billion in assets. The contract will be for a one-year term, with four 

one-year options. The FRTIB expects to award by contract by the end of 2013. 

The I Fund and the FRTIB’s other funds -- the Fixed Income Index Investment Fund, the 

Common Stock Investment Fund, and the Small Cap Stock Index Investment Fund – are 

currently managed by BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (BlackRock). 

 

The TSP is a retirement savings plan for Federal employees; it is

similar to the 401(k) plans offered by many private employers. 

As of May 2013, TSP assets totaled approximately $360 billion, 

and retirement savings accounts were being maintained for more 

than 4.6 million TSP participants. Participants include Federal 

civilian employees in all branches of Government, employees of 

the U.S. Postal Service, and members of the uniformed services.
