§
STATE OF TEXAS § APPEALS
UNOPPOSED MOTIONTO EXTEND TIME TO FILE PETION FOR
DISCRETIONARY REVIEW:
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
Now comes Danien Guerrero, Appellant in the above styled and numbered
cause, and moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file appellant's brief,
pursuant to Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for good
cause shows the following:
1. In this proceeding Appellant seeks review of the decision of the Second
Court of Appeals, in Damien Guerrero vs. STATE OF TEXAS , cause number
o2-13-00611.
3. On June 1, 2015, appellant submitted a Petition for Review. Due to
errors by the undersigned counsel, the filing was returned unfiled on June 2, 2015,
and appellant was granted ten days to submit a corrected petition, which was June
12, 2015. The efiletexas.gov filing returned was envelope 5500297.
7. This motion is filed within 15 days of the ten day extension that the
court permitted when the filing was rejected, and therefore is timely pursuant to
Rule 68.2 ( c ), T.R.A.P.
8. Defendant is currently incarcerated.
9. Appellant seeks an extension to Monday, June 29, 2015 to file the
corrected Petition for Discretionary Review.
9. Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested
extension:
Counsel for Appellant did not intentionally fail to timely file, but
after filing a Petition that was defective, inadvertently overlooked
the email informing him that the filing was rejected, and
therefore did not timely file the corrected petition.
Assistant District Attorney, Helena Faulk of the Tarrant County
Criminal District Attorney’s office has indicated by telephone
that she has no objection to an extension being granted.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this
Court grant this Motion To Extend Time to File Appellant's Petition for
Discretionary Review, and for such other and further relief as the Court may deem
appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,
