KYLE Clerk MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS: COMES NOW, ALICIA MIDKIFF, Appellant, through her counsel of records on appeal, and files this motion for extension of approximately 30 days in which to file her appellate brief in the above-entitled and numbered case. In support of this motion, Appellant shows the Court the following: I. The current deadline for filing the appellant’s brief on appeal has not passed. The current deadline for filing the appellant’s brief is March 4, 2015. There have been no previous requests for extension of time to file this brief. II. Although counsel has been diligently working on this case, the regular press of criminal defense business in the trial courts of Williamson and surrounding counties has limited the amount of time counsel has had to complete the drafting of Appellant’s brief. Counsel fully expects this brief to be completed within the requested extension period, and apologizes to the Court for the necessity of filing her request for extension. Counsel’s affidavit is attached, attesting to the above-described situation. WHEREFORE, appellant prays the Court grant this motion and extend the deadline for filing the brief from March 4, 2014 to April 4, 2014. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Crystal D.
