To the "Hono`rable Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals:
The purpose of this letter is to request additional time to respond to this Court’s
Remand Order of May 13, 2015. The Court master handling this writ needs additional
time to resolve the issues and prepare findings of fact and conclusions of laW. The delay
associated With resolving this Writ has been due to the fact that the State’s attorney Was
out on maternity leave, the Writ is being reviewed by the Conviction Integrity Unit of the
Dallas County District Attorney’s Offlce, and the defense attorney Who is providing an
affidavit had to obtain records from storage due to the age of the case. The trial court
anticipates that an extension is needed to.resolve these issues. Therefore,' the court
requests until January 19, 2016, to resolve the Writ. Please advise if this Court requires
any additional information regarding this request. `
Sincerely,
u e Am er Givens-Davis
