THE STATE OF TEXAS § OF TEXAS AT DALLAS
STATE’S FIRST MOTION TO EXTEND THE TIME
FOR FILING THE STATE’S BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
COMES NOW the State of Texas, through the Criminal District
Attorney of Dallas County, and files this Motion to Extend the Time for
Filing the State’s Brief, and shows the following:
I.
On September 18, 2014, a jury found Appellant guilty of murder and
assessed his punishment at 99 years’ confinement. Appellant filed his brief
on May 20, 2015.
II.
The State’s brief is due on June 19, 2015. The State requests a 30-day
extension of time, until July 19, 2015, to file its brief.
1 of 3
III.
The State has not requested any prior extensions in this case.
IV.
The State relies on the following grounds to reasonably explain its
need for an extension:
(1) Undersigned counsel has not yet received the full reporter’s
record in this case.
(2) Counsel has the duty of representing the State in writ of habeas
corpus proceedings and has several habeas cases on her docket
that require her immediate attention.
(3) Counsel is responsible for filing the State’s briefs on direct appeal
in Stephen Dayne Bradford v. The State of Texas (No. 05-14-01610-
CR) and Kirk Steven Jackson v. The State of Texas (No. 05-14-
00297-CR) this month.
(4) This appeal is not yet set for submission.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State respectfully
requests that the time for filing the State’s brief be extended to July 19, 2015.
