TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:


      The State Prosecuting Attorney respectfully presents her motion for leave to file

a Pre-Submission Supplemental Briefunder Texas Rule ofAppellate Procedure 70.4.

The State's supplemental briefis intended to further narrow the central issue presented

in this case, i.e., whether article 38.23 requires exclusion of evidence obtained in

good-faith reliance on the mandatory blood-draw statute or prevailing case law on

exigent circumstances. This will hopefully assist the Court and opposing counsel at

argument.

                              PRAYER FOR RELIEF


      WHEREFORE, the State of Texas prays that the Court of Criminal Appeals

grant it leave to file its Pre-Submission Supplemental brief.

                                         Respectfully submitted,

                                             /s/ John R. Messinger
