III.

Appellant requests an extension of thirty (30) days until January 6, 2016 to file its

are due in the next thirty (30) days: State v. Mashood Uddin, State v. Andreas

Marcopoulos, State v. Derek Johnson, and State v. Fernando Razo. For these reasons,

Counsel has been unable to submit Appellant’s Reply Brief on the due date and hereby

requests an extension of time.
