        COMES NOW, John Lee Bowman, Appellant herein, by and through his

        1.       Appellant’s brief was due in this case on October 2, 2015.

        2.       Appellant seeks an extension of sixty days in which to file his brief,

        3.       In the past thirty days, the undersigned was counsel of record in the
                 two-week murder trial of The State of Texas v. Daniel Willis, No.

            be granted an extension of sixty days so that his brief in this case will
            now be due on December 1, 2015.
