ARKANSAS SUPREME COURT No. CR 07-1229 EFRAIN VIVEROS Appellant v. STATE OF ARKANSAS Appellee Opinion Delivered May 1, 2008 PRO SE MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF [CIRCUIT COURT OF CRAWFORD COUNTY, CR 2003- 379-B, HON. GARY R. COTTRELL, JUDGE] MOTION GRANTED [FINAL EXTENSION]. PER CURIAM A jury found appellant Efrain Viveros guilty of possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia, and two counts of failure to appear and sentenced him to an aggregate term of 1320 months’ imprisonment. The Arkansas Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment. Viveros v. State, CACR 06-173 (Ark. App. Mar. 14, 2007). Appellant timely filed in the trial court a pro se petition for postconviction relief under Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, which was denied. He has lodged an appeal of that order in this court, and has filed a pro se motion in which he requests an extension of time in which to file his brief. Appellant requests additional time to file his brief because he indicates that he has lost assistance in preparation of his brief and because he is disadvantaged by the fact that the materials that he must use are in English, when his primary language is Spanish. The request for extension of time to file the appellant’s brief is the second request for an extension by appellant in this appeal. Appellant has previously received an extension of thirty days’ time to file his brief. Viveros v. State, -2- ___ Ark. ___, ___ S.W.3d ___ (Feb. 21, 2008) (per curiam). The motion is granted. No further extensions for filing appellant’s brief will be granted, however. The appellant’s brief is due here no later than thirty days from the date of this opinion. Motion granted [final extension].
