MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:
COMES NOW, HERBERT GARDNER Appellant in the above-captioned
cause, by and through his attorney of record, and respectfully moves the Court for an
extension of time in which to file the Appellant's Brief, as provided by TEX. R. APP.
PROC. 10.5. In support hereof, Appellant would show unto the Court the following:
1. Appellant was found guilty by the court after a hearing on a motion to
adjudicate guilt in Cause No. 1372136.
2. Appeal was perfected when written notice of appeal was filed after
Appellant was convicted. This Court has the brief scheduled for filing
on or before March 16, 2015.
3. Appellant requests an extension of 60 days, until May 15, 2015 in which
to file the brief.
4. One previous extensions of time have been requested.
5. The facts relied upon to reasonably explain the need for an extension are
those set forth below:
The record in the case is quite extensive and the
potential issues are complex. Counsel requests
additional time in order to fully prepare the appeal in
this matter. Counsel has many other matters, both trial
and appellate, pending and due in the next 30-45 days.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant respectfully prays the
Court grant this motion, thereby extending the time for filing the Appellant's Brief by
60 days, until May 15, 2015 in the interest of both justice and judicial economy.
Respectfully submitted,
