At the time of his passing, Mr. Staton was in possession of the trial record in this case, as well as other documents and research materials to be accessed and referred to in drafting Appellant’s Brief. Those materials have only been obtained by undersigned counsel via other means. Finally, as stated above, undersigned counsel reasonably believes that he will be able to complete and file the Appellant’s Brief in this cause within the additional time requested herein.
