TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
Now comes Miko Parks, Appellant in the above styled and numbered cause,
and moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file appellant's brief, pursuant

the following:

and numbered 2014-0129.
3. Appellant was convicted of Possession of Marijuana and Possession
of Controlled Substance.
4. Appellant was assessed a sentence of nine years eleven months

11. Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested
extension:
Counsel has a burgeoning practice. Counsel is preparing numerous felony
and misdemeanor cases in Angelina County, Nacogdoches County, Polk County,
Trinity County, San Jacinto County, Shelby County, and Cherokee County, Texas.
In addition, the Reporter’s Record in this case is very extensive and counsel needs
additional time to complete and file Appellant’s Brief.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this
Court grant this Motion To Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such
other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.
