MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE APPELLANT’S INITIAL BRIEF
___________________________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
Appellant, under Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, 38.6(b), respectfully
requests the Court to extend the time to file Appellant’s Initial Brief and would
show the following:
1. Ricky Ray Martinez is the Appellant. The State of Texas is the
Appellee.
2. Appellant’s Initial Brief in this matter is due December 29, 2017.
3. Bobby L Phillips was appointed to represent Appellant in his appeal.
4. Since the date of appointment, counsel for Appellant has had a busy
trial schedule and preparation of numerous other briefs. As a result,
counsel was unable to allot the necessary time to adequately prepare
Appellant’s Initial Brief.
5. Therefore, Appellant requests this Honorable Court to grant Appellant
a thirty (30) day extension of time for the filing of Appellant’s Initial
Brief due to the voluminous record and the number of appeals briefs
due during the following two to three months.

6. Appellant’s counsel communicated with Carolyn Sckerl “CM” Allen
with the Polk County District Attorney’s Office on December 11,
2017 and she stated that she had no objection to Appellant’s Motion
for Extension of Time.
7. This is Appellant’s first request for an extension of time to file
Appellant’s Initial Brief in this matter, making this the first request
that has been made by Appellant.
8. Appellant requests this extension of time not for the purpose of delay,
but so that justice can be done and the matter properly presented to
this Honorable Court.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Bobby L Phillips
