                             Of Harris County, Texas

   Appellant’s Motion for Extension of Time Within
          Which to file the Appellant’s Brief
                                  __________

TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

      Booker Newsome, the appellant, under TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1 & 10.5(b),

moves for an extension of time within which to file his appellate brief. In support

of his motion, the appellant submits the following:

      (A)   The appellant’s brief is due on March 27, 2015.
      (B)    The appellant seeks an extension of time to file the appellant’s brief
             until, April 17, 2015.
      (C)    The appellant relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the
             need for an extension:
                   Due to the undersigned’s work load, more time is necessary to
                   review the appellant record and prepare an appellate brief; the
                   appellant was convicted of aggravated assault after a jury trial;
                   the record will take some time to completely review.

       (D) Two previous motions requesting an extension of time to file the
           appellant’s brief have been requested and granted.

WHEREFORE, the appellant prays that this Court will grant the requested

extension until April 17, 2015.                                        Respectfully

submitted,
