Sergio Fonza-Carey v. State

In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-15-00201-CR SERGIO FONZA-CAREY, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 188th District Court Gregg County, Texas Trial Court No. 43866-A Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Burgess, JJ. O R D E R Sergio Fonza-Carey appeals from his conviction of possession of a firearm by a felon. The clerk’s record in this matter was filed December 2, 2015, and the reporter’s record was filed March 9, 2016, making Fonza-Carey’s appellate brief originally due April 8. That deadline was extended twice by this Court, resulting in the most recent due date of May 13, 2016. Fonza-Carey’s appellate counsel, Clement Dunn, has now filed a third motion seeking an additional extension of the briefing deadline. We have reviewed counsel’s third motion to extend time as well as the appellate record in this case, and we find no compelling information to convince us that a third extension of the filing deadline is warranted. Consequently, counsel’s third motion to extend time to file Fonza-Carey’s appellate brief is overruled. We order counsel to file Fonza-Carey’s appellate brief with this Court on or before May 27, 2016. IT IS SO ORDERED. BY THE COURT Date: May 17, 2016 2
