IN RE ANTHONY S. HAUGHTON

IN THE 199TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT
COLLIN COUNTY

Per Curiam.

O R D E R

	Applicant John Avalos Alba was set for execution on Tuesday, May 25, 2010. 
Counsel filed a subsequent application and motion to stay the execution on applicant's
behalf in the trial court at 5:37 p.m., May 24, 2010.  Pursuant to our Miscellaneous Rule
08-101 setting out the requirements and possible consequences of filing pleadings within
the forty-eight hours preceding an applicant's execution, counsel Anthony S. Haughton
filed with the untimely pleading an explanation for the untimely filing.  
	However, before we take any action pursuant to Miscellaneous Rule 08-101, we
want to hear from counsel in person.  Therefore, we order counsel to appear before this
Court at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 15, 2010, to offer further explanation and
address any questions propounded by the Court about the matter.
	It is further ordered by this Court that the Clerk of this Court shall issue Notice to
Appear and Show Cause commanding Anthony S. Haughton to appear and show cause, in
the manner and within the time specified in this order, why counsel should not be
sanctioned by this Court for failing to adequately justify the untimely filing.  A copy of
this Order shall accompany the Notice.
	IT IS SO ORDERED THIS THE 16th DAY OF JULY, 2010.
