MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE NOTICE OF APPEAL
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Andrew Ottaway files this motion for an extension of time to file notice of appeal,
and would show the Court, upon information and belief, that the Appellant, Martin Shawn
Carswell, was moved from the Erath County Jail to the Comanche County Jail because of
a detainer. Trial Counsel Brady Pendleton could not find him until the time had run out.
Brady Pendleton went to the Comanche County Jail, obtained the Appellant’s signature
on the notice of appeal, and hand delivered and filed it with the District Clerk on June 15,
2017, one day late. In the interest of justice Appellant requests that the Court grant this
Motion for Extension and allow the appeal to continue.
