COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, in accordance with Rules 10.5(b)(1)

and 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and files this motion for

extension of time in which to file the State’s brief in these cases, and, in support

thereof, presents the following:

1. In the 230th District Court of Harris County, Texas in cause number

1388778, the State of Texas v. Reginald Hutchins, appellant filed a

Motion to Suppress. 2. After the trial court denied appellant’s Motion to Suppress, appellant

pled guilty and was convicted of possession of a controlled

substance.

3. Appellant was sentenced to 5 years in the Texas Department of

Criminal Justice Institutional Division.

4. The State’s brief is due on January 8, 2015.

5. An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested

until February 8, 2015.

6. Defendant requested, and this court granted, three previous

Extensions of Time in Which to File an Appellate Brief (July 9,

2014; September 4, 2014; October 8, 2014).

7. The State requested, and this court granted, one previous Extension

8. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are:

On January 2, 2015 I was informed that I would be transferred from my assignment in the domestic violence division, in which I had approximately 200 active cases, to an assigned prosecutor role in a county criminal court at law. I am now primarily responsible for over 500 cases, including all cases in which there is a civilian victim, as well as approximately 25 cases currently set for jury trial. In addition to these responsibilities, I am required to spend more than four hours each day in the courtroom handling each day’s docket. The State will not need any more extensions if this court grants the State’s motion. This motion is not sought for delay, but so that justice may be done. WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant an extension of time

until November 3, 2014 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.
