Lionel Oliver Lanau v. The State of Texas--Appeal from 155th District Court of Fayette County

IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS,
AT AUSTIN
NO. 3-93-043-CR
LIONEL OLIVER LANAU,

APPELLANT

 
vs.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,

APPELLEE

 
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF FAYETTE COUNTY, 155TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 92R-051, HONORABLE DAN R. BECK, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

After accepting appellant's plea of guilty, the district court found that the evidence substantiated appellant's guilt of the offense of possession of less than twenty-eight grams of lysergic acid diethylamide, a controlled substance. Tex. Health & Safety Code Ann. 481.115 (West 1992). The court deferred further proceedings without adjudicating guilt and placed appellant on probation for five years. See Dillehey v. State, 815 S.W.2d 623 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991).

Appellant was represented by retained counsel at trial. The same attorney represented appellant on appeal until his motion to withdraw as counsel was granted by this Court. Tex. R. App. P. 7. There is no indication of indigence in the record and appellant does not appear to have retained substitute counsel. Appellant has not filed a brief and has failed to respond to this Court's notice that the brief is overdue. Tex. R. App. P. 74(l). Under the circumstances, this Court will consider the appeal without briefs.

We have examined the record and find no error that should be considered in the interest of justice.

The order deferring adjudication is affirmed.
