In re Ariel Payan

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 2021952, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING

O R D E R   TO   S H O W   CAUSE
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to Fredell Lynch's appeal from a judgment
of conviction for delivery of cocaine.  The subject of this proceeding is Mr. Ariel Payan, appellant's
counsel.
The time for filing appellant's brief in this cause was extended two times on counsel's
motion.  On May 5, 2003, in granting the second motion, this Court ordered counsel to tender a brief
on appellant's behalf no later than June 16, 2003. Counsel failed to file a brief as ordered.
Therefore, the said Ariel Payan is ordered to appear in person before this Court on
the 10th day of September 2003 at 8:30 o'clock a.m., in the courtroom of this Court, located in the
Price Daniel, Sr. Building, 209 West 14th Street, City of Austin, Travis County, Texas, then and
there to show cause why he should not be held in contempt and sanctions imposed for his failure to
obey the May 5, 2003, order of this Court.  This order to show cause will be withdrawn and the said
Ariel Payan will be relieved of his obligation to appear before this Court as above ordered if the
Clerk of this Court receives appellant's brief by September 5, 2003.
It is ordered July 25, 2003.
