KARL PATRICK HOULDITCH § IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FILED IN 6th COURT OF APPEALS § TEXARKANA, TEXAS V. § SIXTH DISTRICT 5/13/2015OF TEXAS 4:52:33 PM § DEBBIE AUTREY STATE OF TEXAS § TEXARKANA, ClerkTEXAS

MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE SIXTH COURT OF APPEALS:

COMES NOW, Jonathan Hyatt, and files his Motion for Extension of Time

to File Appellee’s Brief, pursuant to Rules 9 and 10 of the Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure, and in support thereof, would show the Court the following:

I.

The Deadline for filing Appellee’s Brief is May 15, 2015.

II.

The length of the extension sought is 30 days.

III.

Appellee relies on the following facts to reasonably explain said request for an

extension:

A. Due to staff changes within the Harrison County District Attorney’s

office, namely that the former chief appellate attorney accepted

employment in a neighboring county, the appeal workload has shifted to

other members of the District Attorney’s Office that have numerous

1 collateral duties. In the time requested for said extension, the new

appellate attorney for the County will have begun employment.

B. The issues involved in this brief require substantial research that has yet

to be done by Movant in order that an adequate brief might be prepared.

IV.

This is the first request for an extension to file Appellee’s Brief.

Wherefore, premises considered, undersigned counsel prays for this Court to

extend the time for filing Appellee brief until June 14, 2015, which is thirty days

from the current deadline.

Respectfully Submitted,
