Ex parte Kemos M. Barnaby, Applicant v. << (2014)

ORDER

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, the clerk of the trial court transmitted to this Court this application for a writ of habeas corpus.  Ex parte Young, 418 S.W.2d 824, 826 (Tex.Crim.App.1967).   Applicant pleaded guilty and was convicted of two counts of possession of a controlled substance and sentenced to imprisonment for fifty years' in each count.

On June 18, 2014, this Court filed and set this application for submission to determine how materiality should be analyzed in a guilty plea situation.   Applicant has filed a motion to remand for further fact-finding after the discovery of video tapes of the original police stop and search.   Applicant requests that this Court allow the trial court to view the video tapes to determine whether their content changes any of the trial court's findings of fact.

We remand this application to the 221st District Court of Montgomery County to allow the trial judge to review the video tapes from the police vehicles on the night of this offense.

The trial court shall determine whether any information in those videos would change any findings of fact signed and sent to this Court.

This application will be held in abeyance.   A supplemental transcript containing any supplemental findings of fact shall be forwarded to this Court within 14 days of the date of this order.   The Court also grants Applicant a two week extension to file his brief to this Court.   Applicant's brief, which was due October 24, 2014, is now due on November 7, 2014.   Any extensions of time shall be obtained from this Court.

Per curiam.
