TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

        COMES NOW LADONNA JOHNSON, Appellant, by and through her counsel, David

Crook, and files this motion for an extension of 30 days in which to file the Appellant’s Brief. In

support of this motion, Appellant would show the Court the following:

                                              I.

        The Appellant was convicted in the 140th District Court of Lubbock County, Texas, of the

offense of Aggravated Assault-BI & DW in Cause No. 2015-406,494, styled State of Texas v.

Ladonna Johnson. The Appellant was assessed a punishment of 8 years TDCJ.

                                              II.

        The deadline for filing the appellate brief is August 28, 2017. Counsel for Appellant has

not requested any extensions prior to this request.

                                              III.

        Appellant's request for an extension is based upon the following facts: Counsel

needs to make a trip to Shreveport to visit his elderly mother. Also, Counsel has an upcoming

trial setting during the critical period.

                                              Prayer
                                                                                                 2

        WHEREFORE, appellant prays the Court grant this motion and extend the deadline for

filing the Appellant’s brief in Appellate No. 07-17-00160-CR to Wednesday, September 27,

2017.
