           MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, ALICIA MIDKIFF, Appellant, through her counsel of

records on appeal, and files this motion for extension of approximately 30 days in

which to file her appellate brief in the above-entitled and numbered case. In

support of this motion, Appellant shows the Court the following:


                                             I.


      The current deadline for filing the appellant’s brief on appeal has not passed.

The current deadline for filing the appellant’s brief is April 6, 2015. There have

been one previous request for extension of time to file this brief.


                                          II.


      Although counsel has been diligently working on this case, the regular press

of criminal defense business in the trial courts of Williamson and surrounding

counties has limited the amount of time counsel has had to complete the drafting of
Appellant’s brief. Counsel fully expects this brief to be completed within the

requested extension period, and apologizes to the Court for the necessity of filing

her request for extension.


      Counsel’s affidavit is attached, attesting to the above-described situation.


WHEREFORE, appellant prays the Court grant this motion and extend the

deadline for filing the brief from April 6, 2014 to May 6, 2014.




                                       Respectfully submitted,
