      Tr.Ct.No. CR-712-08-C
      Style:    MARK ANTHONY MONCADA ESTRADA v. THE STATE OF TEXAS


             The above-referenced cause has been set for submission without oral argument
      on Friday, January 23, 2015, before a panel consisting of Justice Gina M. Benavides,
      Justice Gregory T. Perkes, and Justice Nora Longoria. Pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 2,
      the Court suspends the 21 day notice requirement of Rule 39.8. See TEX. R. APP. P. 2
      (allowing appellate courts to suspend a rule's operation in a particular case and order a
      different procedure); TEX. R. APP. P. 39.8 (delineating notification requirements
      regarding submission of a cause).

                                                 Very truly yours,


                                                 Dorian E. Ramirez, Clerk
