               05-14-00596/00597-CR, Mickey Gerald v. The State of Texas

     Dear Judge Birmingham:

            On January 29, 2015, this Court ordered the trial court to appoint new counsel to represent
     appellant in these appeals. To date, we have not received the trial court’s order appointing new
     counsel. Therefore, please notify us of the status of the order appointing new counsel within TEN
     DAYS of the date of this letter. We appreciate your attention to this matter.

                                                               Sincerely,

                                                     /s/       Lisa Matz, Clerk


     cc:       Dallas County District Attorney’s Office
