THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
The Fourteenth Court of Appeals Case No. 14-13-00518-CR
APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
COMES NOW, LISA ANN BARFIELD, Appellant in the above-styled and
numbered cause, by and through her Counsel of Record, BRITTANY CARROLL
LACAYO, and files this her Motion to Extend to File a Petition for Discretionary
Review and in support thereof would show this Court the following:
I.
Appellant was convicted of Driving While Intoxicated. The Fourteenth Court
of Appeals affirmed the conviction in an opinion filed April 2, 2015. Petitioner did
not file a Motion for Rehearing. Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is
currently due to be filed by May 4, 2015. This is Appellant’s first request for an
extension of time. Appellant requests an extension of forty-five (45) days to file the
petition.
Undersigned counsel was retained and filed an appearance of counsel at the
time of filing this motion for extension of time. Counsel has had insufficient time to
prepare a petition. For this reason, counsel requests this extension of time to prepare
and file her petition.
II.
This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but rather this request is
made to allow counsel adequate time to prepare Appellant’s Petition for
Discretionary Review. Appellant moves this Court for an order granting an
extension of forty-five (45) days, or until June 18, 2015 for Appellant to submit the
Petition for Discretionary Review in this case.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant moves this Court
for an order granting an extension of forty-five (45) days, for Appellant to submit
the Petition For Discretionary Review in this case.
Respectfully submitted,
