Ex Parte Matthew Leachman ( 2022 )

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON ORDER Appellate case name: Ex parte Matthew Leachman Appellate case number: 01-22-00232-CR, 01-22-00233-CR, 01-22-00234-CR Trial court case number: 1756174, 1756176, 1756173 Trial court: 248th District Court of Harris County On March 25, 2022, Appellant Matthew Leachman filed notices of appeal of the trial court’s denial of his applications for writ of habeas corpus in the above-referenced cause numbers. On August 11, 2022, Appellant filed a “Suggestion for Conditional Dismissal,” explaining that he expects to be released on bail by the end of the month and that his “research suggests that [his] actual release on bail will moot an appeal based entirely on [his] confinement in lieu of bail.” Appellant requests that the Court “conditionally dismiss the appeal on [his] suggestion of impending mootness, and remove the case from the active docket, subject to reinstatement on motion of any party within 45 days.” In light of the above, we ORDER that the appeals be ABATED, treated as closed cases, and removed from this Court’s active docket. If neither a motion to reinstate nor a motion to dismiss is filed within 45 days of the date of this order, the appeals will automatically be reinstated on this Court’s active docket. It is so ORDERED. Judge’s signature: /s/ Veronica Rivas-Molloy Acting individually Date: August 23, 2022
