MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE APPELLANT=S BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
NOW COMES, LESLIE LEE, the Appellant herein, and moves the Court for an
extension of time to file Appellant=s Brief in this cause, pursuant to Rules 38.6 and 10.5 (b) of
the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and in support thereof would show the Court as follows:
I.
The Appellant in this cause was convicted in the 188th District Court, Gregg County,
Texas in cause number 42954-A for the offense of Theft. On October 8, 2014, punishment was
assessed at six (06) months in the Department of Criminal Justice, State Jail.
II.
The Reporter=s record was filed on March 30, 2015. The Appellant=s Brief is due on or
about April 29, 2015.
III.
The Appellant hereby requests an extension of time to file Appellant=s Brief.
The undersigned counsel has been unable to devote sufficient time to the review of the
record, research and preparation of Appellant=s Brief for the following good and sufficient
reasons:
This counsel underwent surgery on March 5, 2015, at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear
Infirmary, a division of Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard Medical School. The
surgery consisted of a bilateral Eustachiantuboplasty, a procedure recently pioneered by Dr.
Dennis Poe, M.D., of the Harvard Medical School faculty, who performed the operation.
Counsel remains under the care of two doctors—both Dr. Poe and Dr. Rotzler.
In addition to the above-listed matter, the undersigned counsel has been involved with a
very busy trial and appellate schedule and is involved in numerous other felony
and misdemeanor cases at various stages of litigation.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned counsel, on behalf of
Appellant, respectfully prays that this Honorable Court extend the time for filing Appellant=s
Brief for an additional thirty (30) days, to May 29, 2015.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
