COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH NO. 02-12-00295-CR ARCHIE LAWAYNE BOOKER APPELLANT V. THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE -----------FROM THE 371ST DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY ------------ MEMORANDUM OPINION1 AND JUDGMENT ON PERMANENT ABATEMENT OF APPEAL ---------We have considered the State s Motion To Permanently Abate Appeal. Attached to the motion was Booker s death certificate showing that he died on Friday, June 29, 2012. The death of an appellant during the pendency of an appeal deprives this court of jurisdiction. Molitor v. State, 862 S.W.2d 615, 616 (Tex. Crim. App. 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.1. 1993). Under these circumstances, the appropriate disposition is the permanent abatement of the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2). No decision of this court having been delivered prior to the receipt of this motion, the court finds the motion to permanently abate the appeal should be granted. It is therefore ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the appeal is permanently abated. PER CURIAM PANEL: GABRIEL, J.; LIVINGSTON, C.J.; and DAUPHINOT, J. DO NOT PUBLISH TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b) DELIVERED: August 9, 2012 2
