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

NOS. 910774 & 910775, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING



O R D E R   T O   S H O W   C A U S E
PER CURIAM
This is a contempt proceeding ancillary to Ian Evans's appeal from judgments of
conviction for failing to remit diesel fuel taxes and filing a false fuels report.  The subject of this
proceeding is Mr. Ariel Payan, appellant's counsel.
The time for filing appellant's brief in these causes 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  This order to show cause will be withdrawn and the said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.
