            PATY’S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
                         TO FILE REPLY BRIEF
               __________________________________________

      Appellant, through Neal Davis, files this first motion for an extension of

time to file his reply brief to the state’s brief, showing specifically:

      1.     The Appellant’s reply brief is due June 29, 2015.

      2.     Undersigned maintains several criminal docket settings virtually every

weekday in the Harris County Criminal Justice Center.

      3.     Additionally, undersigned represents the defendant in U.S. v. Hughes,

Criminal No. G-15-MJ-32, in the Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division.

Undersigned has recently been focusing on Mr. Hughes’ detention hearing and

bond conditions in this federal case. This is a complex child pornography case,
involving a cancer doctor, that took considerable time in preparing and conducting

the detention hearing.

      4.     This Motion for Continuance is not made for purposes of delay, but so

that justice may be done.

      Paty therefore respectfully requests a 30-day extension to file his reply brief.



                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                       STRADLEY, DAVIS & REYNAL LLP
