DOYLE JOHNSON, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 284th District Court
Montgomery County, Texas

Trial Cause No. 05-05-04202-CR




MEMORANDUM OPINION
 On June 27, 2007, we received a suggestion of death and a copy of a death certificate,
certifying that the appellant, Doyle Johnson, died on May 20, 2007.  Because the death
occurred after Johnson perfected appeal and before we issued our mandate, the appeal must
be permanently abated.  Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2).  Accordingly, the appeal is permanently
abated.  
	APPEAL ABATED.
