Francisco Javier Zamarripa v. State

Opinion

NUMBER 13-19-00271-CR

COURT OF APPEALS

THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS

CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

FRANCISCO JAVIER ZAMARRIPA, Appellant,

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 139th District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.

ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Longoria and Perkes Order Per Curiam

This cause is before the Court on appellant's third unopposed motion for extension

of time to file the brief. Appellant’s brief was originally due to be filed on September 23,

2019, and this Court previously granted appellant two extensions for the filing of

appellant’s brief in this cause. The Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's third motion for

extension of time to file the brief and the extensions previously granted in this cause, is of

the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's third motion for extension of time to

file the brief should be granted with order. The Court, however, looks with disfavor upon

the delay caused by counsel's failure to have filed a brief in this matter.

Appellant's third motion for extension of time to file the brief is GRANTED, and the

Honorable Traci Evans, counsel for appellant, is ORDERED to file the appellate brief with

this Court on or before March 30, 2020. No further extensions will be granted in this matter

absent exigent circumstances. If counsel fails to file the brief within the specified period

of time, the Court will act appropriately to ensure that appellant's rights are protected. TEX.
