Dan Ross Olin, Jr. v. The State of Texas
Date: 03-03-2017
Case Number: 11-16-00362-CR
Judge: Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam Chief Justice Wright Justice Willson Justice Bailey
Court: In The Eleventh Court of Appeals
Plaintiff's Attorney:
Michael Murray, District Attorney
Defendant's Attorney:
Erika Copeland
Description:
Dan Ross Olin, Jr., filed an appeal from his December 9, 2016 conviction for the offense of continuous sexual abuse of a young child. After Appellant filed this appeal, the trial court granted Appellant’s motion for new trial. We dismiss this appeal without prejudice. On February 21, 2017, the trial court timely signed an order in which it set aside Appellant’s conviction and granted a new trial in this case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.8. “Granting a new trial restores the case to its position before the former trial.” TEX. R. APP. P. 21.9(b). Thus, Appellant has been returned to a position in which there is no judgment of conviction from which to appeal. Consequently, no final, appealable judgment remains over which this court currently has jurisdiction. This dismissal does not in any way prejudice Appellant’s right to file a notice of appeal in this cause in the future.
