MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF
Comes now DORSEY NATHANIEL CARR, III, through his
attorney of record John J. Davis, and files this Motion For
An Extension of Time in which to file Appellant's Brief
pursuant to Rules 10.5(b) and 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure. In support of this Motion, Appellant
shows the Court the following:
I.
TRIAL COURT: 239th District Court of Brazoria County, Texas,
Judge Patrick Sebesta, presiding.
CAUSE NUMBER: 74,219
STYLE: The State of Texas vs. Dorsey Nathaniel Carr, III
DATE OF JUDGMENT: February 20, 2 015
CONVICTION (OFFENSE): Felony DWI Enhanced
SENTENCE: Ten (10) years TDCJ-ID.
DEADLINE FOR FILING APPELLANT'S BRIEF: July 22, 2015
LENGTH OF TIME REQUESTED FOR EXTENSION: August 21, 2015
(30 days)
NUMBER OF PREVIOUS EXTENSIONS GRANTED: None
II.
REASONS FOR EXTENSION
Appellant's request for an extension is based upon the
following facts:
Counsel is the defense counsel for the Brazoria County
Drug Court which meets every week and requires additional
time for client conferences. Counsel is also the appointed
defense counsel at probation reviews in the 149th and 239th
District Courts as well as the appointed defense counsel for
the jail dockets in County Court at Law Number 1 of Brazoria
County. Counsel's case load and the settings and requirements
of the drug court and the review and jail dockets coupled
with the need of a sole practitioner to meet with clients and
maintain some semblance of a cash flow have resulted in
Counsel being unable to finish the brief by the stated
deadline.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays the
Court grant this MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
APPELLANT'S BRIEF and extend the time for filing the Brief
until August 21, 2015.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ John J. Davis
