APPELLANT’S THIRD MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE
APPELLANT'S BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
Now comes NATHANIEL J. FRAZIER, JR. AKA NATHANIEL J.
FRAZIER, 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. This case is on appeal from the 391ST Judicial District Court of TOM
GREEN County, Texas.
3. The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. NATHANIEL J.
FRAZIER, JR. AKA NATHANIEL J. FRAZIER, and numbered D-13-0958-SA.
4. Appellant was convicted of Assault family/house member impede
breath/circulation, enhanced to a second degree felony.
5. Appellant was assessed a sentence of Eighteen (18) years confinement
in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on July 15,
2014.
6. Notice of appeal was given on October 14, 2014.
7. The clerk's record was filed on November 21, 2014; the reporter's
record was filed on November 5, 2014. Counsel for the Appellant initially
requested the entire clerk’s record. On January 12, 2015, this Honorable Court sent
a letter to the clerk notifying them that the supplemental clerk’s record was late.
The original clerk’s record that was filed with this Honorable Court was missing
numerous motions, pretrial hearing documents, as well as trial documents, such as
the jury charge. Counsel for Appellant again requested the entire clerk’s record,
specifically marking items that were not included. The supplemental clerk’s record
was filed March 17, 2015.
8. The appellant’s brief is presently due on April 22, 2015.
9. Appellant requests an extension of time of 15 days from the present due
date, i.e. May 7, 2015.
10. This will be the third extension to file the brief under this cause.
11. Defendant is currently incarcerated.
12. Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested
extension:
An immediate family member of the undersigned was recently hospitalized.
The hospitalization and after-care resulted in the undersigned being unable to
complete the brief of the Appellant. The undersigned submits that a short of
extension of time would allow him finalize, review and edit Appellant’s brief.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this
Court grant this Third Motion To Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such
other and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate.
