Attorney for Appellant

COMES NOW, VINCENT DEWAYNE JOHNSON, Appellant herein, and
moves this court to issue an extension of time to file Appellant’s Brief, and support
thereof would show the court as follows:
I.
The brief is due on June 14, 2015. Attorney for the Appellant requests an
additional 30 days, until July 14, 2015, to file the brief.
II.
The numbers and style of the case in the District Court is F1360209, F1360595
and F1360931, State of Texas v. Vincent Dewayne Johnson.
III.
In cause numbers F1360209, F1360595 and F1360931, Appellant was
convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14. The Appellant plead
guilty to all charges and was sentenced before the judge to 20 years in the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice in each case.
IV.
The reason for this request is that during the last few weeks counsel has been
preparing an amended petition for writ of habeas corpus in Faryion Edward Wardrip
v. William Stephens, case no. 7:01-CV-0247-G in the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas, preparing an Appellant’s Brief on Direct Appeal
in Russell Donald Tindell, II v. The State of Texas, case no. 10-15-00016-CR in the
2
Tenth Court of Appeals of Texas, and also preparing an Appellant’s Supplemental
Brief in Tommy Vincent Jetton v. State of Texas, case no. 11-14-00264-CR in the
Eleventh Court of Appeals.
V.
For the reasons set out above, counsel for Vincent Johnson will, in reasonable
likelihood, be unable to submit the brief requested by this court. Counsel is asking
for an extension of time of 30 days, or until approximately July 14, 2015, to file the
brief.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant requests this court to
grant an extension of time to file his Appellant’s Brief until July 14, 2015.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
