Appelle § AT TYLER, TEXAS
APPELLANT’S SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
BRIEF, 30-DAY REQUEST
TO THE HONORABLE COURT:
Now comes Austin Reeve Jackson, counsel for Appellant in the above entitled and
numbered cause, and makes this Motion, and for good cause shows the following:
I.
Appellant’s brief in this matter is due on 17 December 2015. One prior extension
has been requested.
II.
While working on this case counsel has also been working on approximately 50
open appellate cases in this and other courts to which he has been appointed by Smith
County. This has included investigating motions for new trials (looking for and talking
with potential witnesses, jail and office visits with new appellate appointments, trial court
appearances for the same), requests for and reviews of reporter’s and clerk’s records,
research, briefing, review of opinions, investigation of potential PDR issues, etc. While
not all of these cases have required significant attention from counsel during this time,
many of them have which has resulted in counsel having been unable to devote the full
attention necessary to this case prior to today’s date.
Because of this, counsel was delayed in completing his brief in this matter.
II.
One prior extensions have been requested and is respectfully prayed that the in the
interest of justice, the Court grant this motion.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, undersigned counsel respectfully
prays that, in accordance with the applicable law, the Court grant this Motion and extend
the date by which to file a brief by thirty days.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/Austin Reeve Jackson
