_____________ Defendant.__ ) 

Defendant Troy Brimm through his appointed counsel CAROLYN D. PHILLIPS, 

moves this court for an extension of time in which to file a notice of appeal in Case No. 

01:99CR5342 pursuant to Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 4(b)(4). This rule 

states that: 

Upon a finding of excusable neglect or good cause, the district court

notice—extend the time to file a notice of appeal for a period not to exceed 

30 days from the expiration of the time otherwise prescribed by this Rule 

4(B).

sentenced to seven months of incarceration. Counsel for Mr. Brimm, Dan Harrelson 

notified the court and the CJA panel administrator of his intention to substitute out of 

both cases so that other counsel could be appointed to represent Mr. Brimm on appeal. 

The CJA administrator contacted me regarding representing Mr. Brimm on appeal as to 

case number 1:96CR05180 only. Mr. Harrelson, who was out of state at the time, was 

contacted regarding my willingness to be substituted into the case. His office agreed to 

complete the request for substitution of counsel. The substitution of counsel was 

completed and filed only as to case number 1:96CR05180, and I was appointed by order 

of this court December 4, 2007 only as to this case. A timely notice of appeal was filed 

in case number 1:96CR 05180, December 7, 2007. Counsel did not become aware of the 

existence of the companion case number 1:99CR5342 until January 2, 2008 during a 

conversation with Mr. Brimm. 

Due to this inadvertence and/or excusable neglect an appeal in case number 

1:99CR5342 was not filed within ten days following judgment November 28, 2007. In 

that regard counsel respectfully requests that the court grant an extension to file the 

attached Notice of Appeal in case number 1:99CR 5342, January 3, 2008. This Notice of 

Appeal if filed by December 10, 2007 is still within 30 days from the expiration of the 

time otherwise prescribed FRAP, Rule 4(B).
