In addition, the undersigned filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in Cause Number 08-1623-K26, Ex parte Adam Adel Hayek. Finally, the undersigned has made numerous court appearances and has undertaken the tasks associated with the management of a solo attorney practice.

5. The undersigned has not filed any previous motions for extension of time in this case.

6. For the reasons set forth above, Appellant respectfully requests that he be granted an extension of sixty days so that his brief in this case will now be due on March 9, 2015.
