Opinion

COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON

ORDER ON MOTION

Cause number: 01-14-00924-CR Style: Ex parte Nii-Otabil Nelson Date motion filed*: June 17, 2015 Type of motion: Amended Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant’s Brief Party filing motion: Appellant Document to be filed: Appellant’s Brief

Is appeal accelerated? Yes.

If motion to extend time: Original due date: N/A (June 10, 2015, was brief date claimed in motion) Number of extensions granted: 0 Current Due Date: N/A Date Requested: N/A (No date requested in motion)

Ordered that motion is:  Granted in part  Denied  Dismissed (e.g., want of jurisdiction, moot)  Other: _____________________________________ Although the Clerk of this Court set a June 10, 2015 briefing deadline in the related appellate cause number 01-15-00248-CR, no such deadline was set here because this is an appeal from the denial of a habeas corpus application governed by Rule 31. See TEX. R. APP. P. 31.1, 38.6(a). On November 17, 2014, the Clerk of this Court had sent notice explaining that if this Court desires briefs, it will set the deadline, but that this appeal may be set for submission with or without briefs. See id. at 31.1. Thus, appellant’s motion for an extension of time to file his brief is denied because the Clerk of this Court already sent notice on June 9, 2015, that this appeal was set for submission on the record only.
