The court convened a multi-case docket that included an on-the-record withdrawal of an appeal, a bond reinstatement contingent on bondsman confirmation, and several plea resolutions and sentencing orders.

Raymond Alejandro Jr. appeared by Zoom, affirmed under oath and told the court he no longer wished to pursue his appeal. The court said it would prepare a record for the court of appeals notifying that Alejandro has withdrawn his appeal and will not proceed further on that matter.

The court addressed the bond forfeiture in 2025CR011324 for Richard Esquivel, noting he failed to appear on Oct. 27, 2025. The court was told the bondsman would remain on the bond if the family paid a reinstatement fee. Citing counsel’s representation and the bondsman’s willingness, the judge found the failure to appear not willful and announced she would reinstate the bond and recall the warrant, subject to confirmation from the bondsman and system checks.

In a separate matter the court handled an application for deferred adjudication for Gage Guerra and gave standard plea admonishments, including explanation of the charges and the consequences of waiving trial rights. The case was set for further proceedings and a pretrial date for a PSI on Feb. 3, 2026 (court scheduling instructions were provided to counsel).

The court found a motion-to-revoke true in the matter charging Isaiah Johnson and revoked his community supervision. The judge imposed a four-year prison sentence, with credit for time served, and made an affirmative deadly-weapon finding. The judge noted the defendant’s limited scope to appeal the motion ruling and described that therapeutic community placement could be requested but cannot be compelled by the court.

The court also revisited a plea entered by Manisha Moore. After the parties agreed to a new plea bargain under the statutory reference cited in court, the judge accepted the plea and sentenced Moore to 21 days in the county jail and a $1,000 fine; the judge advised Moore of the waiver of appellate rights and collateral employment consequences tied to a felony conviction.

The judge repeatedly instructed counsel to check court system entries (for example, outstanding ISAs or system flags) before filing reinstatement orders and advised defense attorneys to ensure defendants’ addresses are correct so future notices reach them.

What happens next: the court set consolidated trial dates and plea deadlines and instructed parties to coordinate with court staff on reset forms and scheduling. The judge said records will be prepared where required (for example, notifying appellate courts of withdrawn appeals) and that counsel should notify the court promptly if bond reinstatement paperwork or GPS conditions are not implemented as discussed.
