ORDER
We sent the accompanying opinion for filing on Friday,
March 20, 2015. On Tuesday, March 24, 2015, we received
-- 1 of 2 --
MEDINA V. CHAPPELL 2
from Mr. Medina’s counsel a filing entitled “Suggestion of
Death” informing us of a press release indicating that Mr.
Medina had “died on the evening of March 22, 2015 from
natural causes . . . .” Because at all times when we made our
decision and sent it for filing, the case was not moot, we
allowed it to be published in the ordinary course. However,
we direct the parties to file letter briefs within 14 days hereof
addressing how best to proceed with the opinion in light of
Mr. Medina’s death.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
