Luis Miguel Marsh v. State

Opinion

In The

Court of Appeals

Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana

No. 06-12-00082-CR

LUIS MIGUEL MARSH, Appellant V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 8th District Court Hopkins County, Texas

Trial Court No. 0921391

Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ.

ORDER

Luis Miguel Marsh appeals from his conviction of indecency with a child. The clerk’s

record was filed May 31, 2012, and the reporter’s record was filed October 5, making the appellant’s brief due November 8. On December 6, counsel for appellant filed a motion seeking a twenty-seven day extension of appellant’s briefing deadline calculated from December 6, the day the motion was filed. We note that this motion was filed twenty-eight days after the original deadline for filing appellants brief; thus, counsel has already benefited from a generous, albeit unauthorized, extension of the briefing deadline.

We have reviewed counsel’s motion to extend time to file the brief and the record on appeal. We have been provided with no compelling information to convince us that this brief requires more time to prepare. The motion to extend time to file appellant’s brief is overruled.

We order counsel to file appellant’s brief with this Court on or before December 27, 2012.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
