SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTH COURT OF APPEALS:
COMES NOW, CHRISTOPHER PADILLA, Appellant, and files this motion for
an extension of time in which to file his brief pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 10.5(b). In support of this motion, Appellant shows the court the following:
I.
Appellant pleaded not guilty to murder and robbery, but a jury found him guilty.
Appellant was sentenced to 52 years and 20 years in the Texas Department of Criminal
Justice on June 15, 2015.
II.
The clerk’s record was filed August 6, 2015 and the reporter’s record is noted as
having been filed September 18, 2015 as well as October 5, 2015. This Court granted
Appellant’s First Motion for Extension and extended the time to November 18, 2015.
III.
Undersigned counsel requests additional time to review the records in this case and
research the issues to present Appellant with a meaningful appeal. In addition to her regular
1
trial docket, counsel has had to prepare for trial in State v. Mason, cause no. 481475, State v.
McCumber, cause no. 478321 and is currently preparing for a trial in State v. Cordero, 2013-CR-
9774 that set for trial on November 30, 2015 in the 437th Judicial District Court.
Because undersigned counsel is anticipating to be in trial the first week of December on
multiple felony counts and because the holidays are coming up, counsel requests a 60 day
extension. This will be the final request for an extension.
WHEREFORE, Appellant prays the Court grants this first request and extend the
time for filing his brief to January 18, 2015.
Respectfully Submitted:
