Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas July 3, 2014

No. 04-14-00432-CR

Otto Ray KIETZMAN, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

From the Criminal District Court, Magistrate Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2013W0631 Honorable Andrew Carruthers, Judge Presiding

ORDER On June 20, 2014, this court ordered appellant to show cause why his appeal from the trial court’s order dated June 2, 2014 should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. The order noted that if appellant failed to respond within the time provided, the appeal would proceed only with regard to the trial court’s March 14, 2014 order. All other appellate deadlines were suspended pending further order of this court.

On July 2, 2014, appellant’s attorney filed a motion which this court has construed as a motion for extension of time to file a response to this court’s June 20, 2014 show cause order. 1 The motion is GRANTED. Appellant’s response to this court’s June 20, 2014 show cause order must be filed no later than August 4, 2014. FURTHER REQUESTS FOR EXTENSIONS OF TIME TO FILE THE RESPONSE WILL BE DISFAVORED.

1 Although the motion requests an extension of time to file appellant’s brief, the deadline for filing the brief has been suspended pending our review of appellant’s response to this court’s show cause order and our resolution of the jurisdictional issue by further order.
