APPLICANT OF TEXAS
SECOND JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO COMPLETE WRIT PROCEEDINGS IN THE DISTRICT COURT
COMES NOW, the State and applicant, Michael Jacques, and file this
second joint motion for extension of time to complete the writ proceedings in this
cause in the 384th District Court of El Paso County, and would show the Court as
follows:
1. On April 1, 2015, this Court remanded the writ application in this
cause to the 384th District Court to allow the trial court judge to
complete an evidentiary investigation and enter findings of fact and
conclusions of law, such to be completed and the record on the writ
proceedings, together with the findings and conclusions of the trial
court, to be transmitted back to this Court within 120 days of this
Court’s order, namely, July 31, 2015.
2. Thereafter, on June 25, 2015, the parties filed a first joint motion to
extend the time for transmission of the writ proceedings and findings
to this Court for 60 days until October 30, 3015, primarily so that the
record from the two days of the hearings could be transcribed and
completed. That motion was granted by this Court on July 8, 2015,
until October 30, 2015.
3. The record has now been completed and filed in the trial court, and
both parties have provided the trial court judge, Hon. Patrick Garcia,
with extensive proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law.
4. This extension request is made at the behest of the trial court judge
for 60 days until December 29, 2015, for the trial court judge to
review the record that has been filed, review the findings and
conclusions proposed by both parties, and to enter such findings and
conclusions of law as the trial court judge may make in this matter.
The 384th District Court is a very active trial court with an extensive
docket of cases and the trial court judge needs this additional time to
properly review the writ record and make appropriate findings of fact
and conclusions of law and to then transmit the complete writ record
and findings and conclusions to this Court.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, the State and applicant pray that this extension request will
be granted until December 29, 2015.
Respectfully submitted,
