Original Court Document: View Document
David Solomon Maze is appealing a criminal conviction in the Court of Appeals for the Seventh District of Texas. His appointed counsel has filed an Anders brief indicating no non-frivolous grounds for appeal. Maze has expressed a desire to respond pro se but has been unable to access the clerk’s records necessary for this response. The court has abated the appeal until Maze is granted access to these records. The case is remanded to the Criminal District Court of Jefferson County, with specific directives: 1. Conduct a hearing to ascertain whether Maze has had sufficient access to the clerk’s record to prepare his response. 2. If he lacks reasonable access, determine appropriate orders to ensure he can access the clerk's record. 3. The trial court must conduct necessary hearings, file findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendations, and ensure these are included in a clerk’s record on remand. 4. Transcribe the hearing proceedings for inclusion in a reporter’s record. 5. Ensure all records from the hearing and any orders or findings are submitted to the appellate court by May 16, 2003. The appeal remains abated pending these actions.
