MOTION FOR SUSPENSION OF RULES

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

COMES NOW STEVEN HERNANDEZ in the above entitled and numbered

cause and moves this Court, pursuant to Rule 2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate

Procedure, to suspend the timelines allowed in Rules 68.9, 70.1 and 70.2 of the Texas

Rules of Appellate Procedure and order expedited timelines.

This matter centers around the 3rd Court of Appeals’ judgment regarding bond

pursuant to Article 17.151 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.

In light of the fact that this matter solely addresses the matter of bond in a

currently pending matter in the 428th Judicial District Court of Hays County, Texas,

Petitioner moves this Court to reduce the time allowed in TRAP Rule 68.9 to 10 (ten)

days and, in the event the instant petition is granted, reduce the time allowed in TRAP

Rules 70.1 and 70.2 to 15 (fifteen) days.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Petitioner requests this Court to

take notice that the instant matter centers around bond in a matter currently pending in

the 428th Judicial District Court of Hays County, Texas and the 3rd Court of Appeals’ 1 judgment and interpretation of Article 17.151 of the Texas Code of Criminal

Procedure and reduce the time allowed for a reply in TRAP Rule 68.9 and, in the

event the instant petition is granted, reduce the time allowed for briefs in TRAP Rules

70.1 and 70.2.

Respectfully submitted,
