(b) The State’s brief is currently due on July 1, 2015.

(c) This request is that the deadline for filing the State’s brief be extended by 30

days.

(d) The number of previous extensions of time granted for submission of the

State’s brief is: one.

(e) The State relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the need for

an extension of the deadline:

1. During the period since the appellant’s brief was filed, the undersigned attorney

has completed and filed an original brief in three other pending appellate cases,

(i.e. Antonio Perez Lopez v. State of Texas, No. 03-14-00452-CR; Charles

Anthony Malouff, Jr. v. State of Texas, No. 03-13-00723-CR; and Eric

Robertson v. State of Texas, No. 07-15-00030-CR). The undersigned attorney

has also completed and filed a motion for rehearing in another pending

appellate case, (i.e. Gerald Christopher Zuliani v. State of Texas, No. 03-13-

00490-CR to 03-13-00493-CR and 03-13-00495-CR). The undersigned

attorney is also responsible for preparing the State’s brief in two other pending

appellate cases (i.e. Christopher Roberts v. State of Texas, No. 03-14-00637-

CR; and Graham Jay Sonnenberg v. State of Texas, No. 03-14-00530-CR).

2. On May 19, 2015, the undersigned attorney filed a motion to dismiss the instant

appeal for want of jurisdiction. This Court has not yet ruled on that motion.

3. In addition, the undersigned attorney, as the director of the Appellate Division

of the Travis County District Attorney’s Office, has been required, during the

pendency of the instant appeal, to spend a considerable amount of time working

on a variety of other legal matters and administrative issues.

4. This request is not made for the purpose of delay, but to ensure that the Court

has a proper State’s brief to aid in the just disposition of the above cause.

WHEREFORE, the State of Texas respectfully requests that the deadline for filing

the State’s brief be extended to July 31, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,

ROSEMARY LEHMBERG
