COMES NOW Bronchea Gerad Walker, Appellant in the above-styled
and numbered cause, and makes and files this Second Unopposed Motion
for an Extension of Time to file the Appellant’s Brief, and in support thereof
shows the Court as follows:
I.
The trial court imposed sentence on June 25, 2015. The reporter’s
record was filed on September 8, 2015. The clerk’s record was filed on
October 23, 2015. One previous extension has been granted, making the
current deadline December 23, 2015. Appellant requests an additional 21
days to file the appellant’s brief, extending the deadline until January 13,
2016.
II.
Appellant needs additional time to file the appellant’s brief because
other trial and appellate matters have prevented counsel from preparing the
brief in this case.

Criminal Appeals on December 17, 2015 from cause no. 03-13-00803-CR,

Criminal Appeals on December 7, 2015 in cause no. PD-1594-15, Smith v.

cause no. PD-1548-15, Reid v. State; (4) a PDR in the Court of Criminal
Appeals on December 1, 2015 in cause no. PD-1550-15, Anderson v. State;
and (5) a response to a post-conviction habeas application (as attorney pro
tem for the State) in the 54th District Court of McLennan County in cause no.
2011-1921-C2A, Ex parte Felan, on November 24, 2015.

Counsel has another appellant’s brief due on December 21, 2015 in
cause no. 10-15-00276-CR, Patterson v. State, in the Waco Court of Appeals,
for which two previous extensions have been granted.
In addition, counsel has numerous other case settings, hearings and
appellate deadlines in the upcoming weeks.
III.

State DOES NOT oppose this motion.
