I.

On or about November 3, 2017, the appellant, Dwyane Jermain 

Morgan filed his brief in the above-styled and numbered appellate cause.

As the appellee, the State’s Brief is currently due on or before 

December 4, 2017. The State seeks another one (1) day in which to file its 

brief.

II.

This is an appeal from a final judgment of conviction in the 6th

Judicial District Court of Red River County, Texas. The District Court 

cause number was CR02253.

III.

The present deadline for filing the Appellee’s (State’s) Brief is

extension of time to file its brief.

For good cause, the appellee (the State) seeks an additional one (1) 

day in which to file its brief. All internet systems in the Red River County 

Courthouse were out of service December 4, 2017, therefore the Appellee 

(State) was unable to e-file it’s brief in a timing manner.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State of Texas prays 

that upon final submission of this motion to the Court’s motion docket, this 

Court grant the Appellee’s (State’s) Motion to Extend Time to File Brief in 

its entirety and grant an additional one (1) days in which to file its Brief on 

or before December 5, 2017; and for such other and further relief, both at
