Juan Domingo Ramirez v. State ( 2020 )

In The
Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
No. 06-19-00241-CR
JUAN DOMINGO RAMIREZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 8th District Court
Hopkins County, Texas
Trial Court No. 1927238
Before Morriss, C.J., Burgess and Stevens, JJ.
ORDER
Appellant Juan Domingo Ramirez was convicted of continuous sexual abuse of a young
child and sentenced to life imprisonment. Ramirez has appealed from that conviction and the
resulting sentence. On March 11, 2020, Ramirez’s court-appointed appellate counsel, Frank R.
Hughes, III, filed an Anders 1 brief, and on March 27, 2020, Ramirez filed a pro se motion for
access to the appellate record for purposes of preparing a response to his counsel’s Anders brief.
Ramirez’s motion for access to the appellate record is granted. Under Kelly v. State, 2 we are
required to enter an order specifying the procedure to be followed to ensure Ramirez’s access to
the record.
On March 31, 2020, Hughes advised this Court that he would mail a complete paper copy
of the appellate record to Ramirez. Allowing fifteen days from the date of this order for the record
to be delivered to Ramirez and giving him thirty days to prepare his pro se response, we hereby
set May 18, 2020, as the deadline for Ramirez to file his pro se response to his counsel’s Anders
brief.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
