      On March 13, 2013, appellant’s appointed counsel filed a motion to

that he provided appellant with a copy of the clerk’s record and the reporter’s

record and notified appellant of his right to review the record and file a pro se

brief.

         It is, therefore, ORDERED that appellant, Terry Lyndell Benton, be given

60 days from the date hereof to file a pro se brief. It is, further, ORDERED that

the State may file a reply brief, due 30 days from the date appellant files his brief,

or if no brief is filed by appellant, 70 days from the date hereof.
