Case Style:

Alvin Berlin Hill v. The State of Texas

Case Number: 10-16-00297-CR

Judge: Rex Davis

Court: 10-16-00297-CR, 10-16-00308-CR

Plaintiff's Attorney:

Douglas Howell III Jarvis J. Parsons

Defendant's Attorney:

Shannon B. Flanigan

Description: Appellant Alvin Berlin Hill has filed a motion to dismiss in appellate court cause number 10-16-00308-CR. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). The substance of the motion shows that Hill is requesting the dismissal of the appeal from the judgments in both trial court cause numbers 15-02833-CRF-272 and 15-02834-CRF-272. Appellate court cause number 10-16-00297-CR is the appeal from the judgment in trial court cause number 15-02833 CRF-272; appellate court cause number 10-16-00308-CR is the appeal from the judgment Hill v. State Page 2 in trial court cause number 15-02834-CRF-272. We therefore construe the motion as a motion to dismiss the appeals in both appellate court cause numbers 10-16-00297-CR and 10-16-00308-CR. See Ex parte Caldwell, 58 S.W.3d 127, 130 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000) (“[I]t is the substance of the motion that governs, not the title.”).

Outcome:

We have not issued decisions in these appeals, and Hill personally signed the motion to dismiss. The motion is granted, and these appeals are dismissed.
