In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-13-00219-CR KIVEAN DESHAI COFFEY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 276th District Court Morris County, Texas Trial Court No. 10,774CR Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss MEMORANDUM OPINION Kivean Deshai Coffey was found guilty by a jury of aggravated sexual assault and was sentenced to seventy-five years imprisonment. Coffey appeals from this conviction and from a related conviction of aggravated sexual assault in cause number 06-13-00218-CR. Coffey has filed a single brief which raises issues common to both of his appeals. He argues the trial court erred (1) in allowing the State to file a notice to enhance Coffey s punishment after voir dire, and (2) in overruling Coffey s motion to suppress his statement. We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Coffey s appeal in cause number 06-13-00218-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that the State s notice of intent to seek enhancement was timely filed and that error in denying Coffey s motion to suppress his statement was harmless. We affirm the trial court s judgment. Josh R. Morriss, III Chief Justice Date Submitted: Date Decided: May 8, 2014 June 13, 2014 Do Not Publish 2
