The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY NOS. 00-1410-1, 00-1402-1 & 00-1409-1 HONORABLE KEVIN HENDERSON, JUDGE PRESIDING Appellants Jose Antonio Rivera, Martin Hernandez, and Marcos Antonio Hernandez pleaded guilty to evading arrest. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 38.04 (West Supp. 2001). The court adjudged them guilty and sentenced each to incarceration for thirty days. Appellants retained attorney did not file a brief on appeal. Neither counsel nor appellants appeared at the hearing ordered by this Court pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 38.8(b)(2). Under the circumstances, we conclude that appellants either no longer desire to prosecute the appeals or have failed to make the necessary arrangements for filing a brief. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(4). We have reviewed the appellate record and find no fundamental error that should be considered in the interest of justice. The judgments of conviction are affirmed. __________________________________________ Mack Kidd, Justice Before Justices Kidd, B. A. Smith and Puryear Affirmed Filed: June 29, 2001 Do Not Publish 2
