_________________________________
To the Honorable Justices of the Court of Appeals:
Appellant, ROCHAWN RAY DAVIS, by and through his Counsel of Record,
JETH JONES, files this Motion to Extend Time to File Brief and in support shows this
Court the following:
I.
1. Appellant, ROCHAWN DAVIS, was found guilty by a jury on November 5, 2014
for the offense of possession of a controlled substance. Appellant was sentenced by the Court on
December 12, 2014 and punishment was assessed by the Court at confinement in the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice for a period of Fourteen years. The Judgment was entered by the
Court on December 12, 2014 and Appellant timely filed a Motion for New Trial on January 12,
2015.
2. The Reporter’s Record was filed on or about April 27, 2015. Thereafter,
counsel for Appellant was lead counsel in a jury trial in Chamber’s County, Texas.
Immediately following the jury trial in Chamber’s County, Texas, counsel for Appellant
was required to appear for pre-trial hearings and a jury trial in Carthage, Texas.
3. Appellant’s counsel needs additional time to review the Clerk’s Record,
review the Reporter’s Record and prepare Appellant’s Brief.
II.
4. Appellant’s court appointed counsel requests an extension of 60 days from
today, until July 27, 2015 to file Appellant’s brief.
5. Counsel’s request for an extension of time to file a brief for Appellant is not
for delay but so that justice may be done.
Respectfully Submitted,
