w o r k i n g o n s u b m i t t i n g a n agreed supplemental copy of State’s Exhibit 2 in this

cause after noticing the version originally filed with the Court is difficult or

impossible to read in some places. I have begun working on the instant brief,

including some work over this past weekend. However, b ecause of the foregoing, I

have not yet been able to complete said brief , and respec tfully request an extension

of 10 days to file the State’s brief in the instant cause. This is the fourth and final3

extension sought by Appellee ; I have conferred with opposing counsel, and Ms.

respect fully prays for an extension of 10 days, until August 6

adequate response may be made to Appellant’s brief. This extension is not

requested for purposes of delay but so that justice may be done.
