Toronto Clayvernon Williams v. State ( 2019 )

Order filed August 8, 2019 In The Eleventh Court of Appeals __________ Nos. 11-19-00172-CR & 11-19-00184-CR __________ TORONTO CLAYVERNON WILLIAMS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 70th District Court Ector County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. A-18-1435-CR & A-18-1436-CR ORDER Appellant, Toronto Clayvernon Williams, originally filed a notice of appeal in our Cause No. 11-19-00172-CR—ostensibly from a judgment of conviction in trial court cause no. A-18-1435-CR. The judgment of conviction was entered in trial court cause no. A-18-1436-CR, not A-18-1435-CR. The confusion regarding these appeals stems from the trial court’s having entered an order consolidating the two cases into one cause number, trial court cause no. A-18-1435-CR, and later, after the jury found Appellant guilty of only one of the two charges, entering a judgment of conviction in A-18-1436-CR. Appellant then filed a notice of appeal in trial court cause no. A-18-1436-CR, and this court docketed the second appeal as Cause No. 11-19-00184-CR. Because the judgment that Appellant attempts to appeal in our Cause No. 11-19-00172-CR was an acquittal, Appellant’s attorney has submitted a motion to dismiss that appeal. However, counsel has been unable to locate Appellant to sign the motion as required by TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). In order to proceed in an efficient manner in these appeals, this court has concluded that the appeals should be consolidated. Accordingly, we hereby consolidate our Cause No. 11-19-00172-CR into our Cause No. 11-19-00184-CR for all purposes. All future correspondence and filings should bear our docket number 11-19-00184-CR. PER CURIAM August 8, 2019 Do not publish. See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b). Panel consists of: Bailey, C.J., Stretcher, J., and Wright, S.C.J.1 Willson, J., not participating. 1 Jim R. Wright, Senior Chief Justice (Retired), Court of Appeals, 11th District of Texas at Eastland, sitting by assignment. 2
