No. 01-14-00628-CR In the Court of Appeals FILED IN 1st COURT OF APPEALS For the HOUSTON, TEXAS First District of Texas 3/5/2015 2:30:23 PM At Houston CHRISTOPHER A. PRINE ♦ Clerk
No. 1919049 In the County Criminal Court at Law No. 14 Of Harris County, Texas ♦ MANUEL NAVA, JR. Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS Appellee ♦ STATE’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF ♦ TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:
THE STATE OF TEXAS, pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 2 & 10.5, moves for
an extension of time in which to file its appellate brief and in its motion, would
show the Court the following:
1. The State charged appellant with one count of driving while
intoxicated. (1 RR at 6) The trial court denied appellant’s motion to
suppress evidence and appellant subsequently pled guilty to the court. (1
RR at 4-5; CR – 67-68) Appellant was sentenced to one year Harris
County Jail, probated for eighteen months. (CR – 69-70) Appellant filed
a timely notice of appeal and the trial court certified that he had the right to appeal. (CR – 76-78) The State’s brief was due on March 5, 2015. The
following facts are relied upon to show good cause for an extension of
time to allow the State to file its brief:
a. The undersigned attorney was not assigned this brief until February 16, 2015.
b. The undersigned attorney was involved in completing the following written appellate projects during the time the undersigned attorney was attempting to complete State’s reply brief in this case:
(1) Gary Martins v. State of Texas No. 14-14-00688-CR Brief Due: March 4, 2015 (2) Brandon Morgan v. State of Texas No. 14-14-00607-CR Brief Due: March 4, 2015 (3) Mark Soliz v. State of Texas No. 14-14-00498-CR Brief Due: March 13, 2015
Consequently, the undersigned attorney has been unable to complete the State’s reply brief in this case in the time permitted despite due diligence, and the requested extension of time is necessary to permit the undersigned attorney to adequately investigate, complete, and file the State’s appellate brief for this cause. The State’s motion is not for purposes of delay, but so that justice may be done.
WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant a thirty day extension of
time for the undersigned attorney to complete and file the State’s appellate brief in
this case Respectfully submitted,
