THE STATE OF TEXAS § APPELLEE
APPEAL FROM THE COUNTY CRIMINAL COURT AT LAW NO. 7
HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS
TRIAL COURT CAUSE NO. 1935745
APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:
ERIK KUETHER, Appellant, pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure
10.5(b), submits this motion for extension of time to file his brief.
I.
Appellant’s brief is due on November 30, 2015. However, the complete reporter’s
record has not yet been filed. Appellant asks that this Court extend his due date to 30
days after the court reporter files the complete record, or to December 30, 2015.
II.
On September 30, 2015, Appellant’s counsel received notice that the reporter’s
record had been filed. However, upon reviewing the record, counsel determined that only
one volume of a four volume trial record had been filed. On October 10, 2015, counsel
contacted the court reporter about the incomplete record. The court reporter
acknowledged the error and indicated that a supplemental record would be filed. On
October 23, 2015, the court reporter attempted to file the record, but it was refused. On
October 30, 2015, the court reporter again attempted to file the record, but it was refused.
Appellant has paid for the reporter’s record, but as of the filing of this motion, the court
reporter has not filed the complete record.
III.
This Court has previously granted Appellant one extension of time to file brief.
This motion is not made for delay, but to see that justice is done.
Respectfully submitted,
