1. In the 262nd Criminal District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause 

number 1376587, appellant was convicted of robbery in The State of Texas 

v. Louis Stredic.

2. On March 13, 2014, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement in the 

Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division, 

for fifty years.

3. On March 13, 2014, appellant timely written notice of appeal.

4. Appellant filed his appellate brief with this Court on November 2, 2014.

5. The State’s appellate brief is due on January 5, 2015.

6. This is the State’s second request for an extension.

7. An extension of time in which to file the State’s appellate brief is requested 

until February 5, 2015.

8. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are:

During the time in which the undersigned attorney has been

researching and preparing the State’s appellate brief for this case, 

she was also researching and preparing the State’s appellate briefs

in the following cases assigned that are also to her:

i. William Johnson v. State of Texas; No. 14-14-00475-CR

ii. Ex parte Vidal Reyes; No. 14-14-00440-CR

iii. Ana Trujillo v. State of Texas; No. 01-14-00397-CR

iv. Ex parte Riku Melartin; No. 14-14-00926-CR
Page 3 of 4

v. Jacinto Urapo v. State of Texas; No. 14-14-00752-CR

Consequently, the undersigned attorney has been unable to complete

the State’s reply brief in this case in the time permitted despite due 

diligence, and the requested extension of time is necessary to permit 

the undersigned attorney to adequately investigate, complete, and 

file the State’s appellate brief for this cause.

9. The State’s motion is not for purposes of delay, but so that justice may be 

done. 

WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant an extension of 

time until February 5, 2015, for the undersigned attorney to complete and file the 

State’s appellate brief in this case.

Respectfully submitted,

/S/ Melissa Hervey
