HOTTLE Clerk JOAQUIN ALBERTO DAVILA Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee ___________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from County Court No. 2, Webb County, Texas Honorable Jesus Garza, Presiding Judge Trial Court Cause No. 2013-CRB377-L2 ________________________________________________________________________ MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF ___________________________________________________________________ TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS: Appellant, Joaquin Alberto Davila, by and through his undersigned attorney, hereby moves the Court for an Order extending the time to file Appellant’s Brief, and as grounds therefor would show the Court the following: 1. Appellant’s Brief is due on or before January 3, 2015. 2. Appellant respectfully requests that the Court extend his current briefing deadline of January 3, 2015, to and including January 10, 2015. There has been one extension of time granted for the filing of Appellant’s Brief. 3. Appellant requests an extension to January 10, 2015 for the filing of the brief because undersigned counsel has been involved in a number of other legal proceedings and matters that have required or will require a substantial amount of his time. In addition, counsel has been ill for the past week and it has hindered all work and will prevent him from completing the Appellant’s Brief before January 3, 2015. Given that, undersigned counsel has not had, and will not have, an opportunity to properly prepare the brief on the issues in this matter by the current deadline. 4. Absent any more extraordinary circumstances, Appellant will not file any further motions for extension of time to file Appellant’s Brief. WHEREFORE, Appellant prays that the time for filing his brief be extended to and including January 10, 2015; and for such other and further relief as the Court may deem to be just and proper.
