     STATE’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF
                ________________________________

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      THE STATE OF TEXAS, by and through the Criminal District Attorney of

Dallas County, respectfully requests that the time for filing the State’s brief be

extended by thirty (30) days. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(d). In support of this

motion, the State would show the following:

      Appellant pleaded not guilty to capital murder in Cause No. F12-00445.

The jury found Appellant guilty and the Court sentenced him to confinement for

life in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

      After receiving two extensions, Appellant’s brief was filed on February 17,

2015. The deadline for filing the State’s brief was March 19, 2015. This Court has

not yet set this case for submission.

                                                                                        1
