TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

       Now comes Rosa Elena Arizmendi, Appellee in the above styled and numbered cause,
and moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file Appellee’s Brief, pursuant to Rule 38.6
of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for good cause shows the following:
       1.      This case is on the State’s appeal from the 108TH Judicial District Court in and for
Potter County, Texas.
       2.      The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS ROSA ELENA
ARIZMENDI, and numbered 68589E.
       3.      Appellee was convicted of Possession of a Controlled Substance, Penalty Group
1, with Intent to Deliver, >400g.
       4.      Appellee was assessed a sentence of twenty-five (25) years on April 28, 2015.
       5.      Appellee filed her Motion for New Trial and Motion In Arrest of Judgment on
May 15, 2015. The Order Granting New Trial was filed June 16, 2015.
       6.      Notice of appeal was given by the State on June 22, 2015.
       7.      Appellant’s Brief was filed on September 8, 2015, and Appellee’s Brief is due on
October 28, 2015, after previously granted extension.
       8.      Appellee was previously granted a second extension of time 10 days from the
date that Appellee’s Brief was to be filed; the Court granted the requested extension of 10 days,
making the date for filing November 9, 2015.
       9.      Appellee is currently incarcerated on this charge.
       10.     Appellee relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested extension:

November 9, 2015, deadline.
       11.     There have been two previous extensions totaling 30 days granted.
       12.     Appellee is requesting an extension of approximately four to five hours, bringing
the date for filing of Appellee’s brief November 10, 2015.
       12.     This Motion is not brought for purposes of delay, but so that justice may be done.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellee prays that this Court grant this
Motion To Extend Time to File Appellee's Brief, and for such other and further relief as the
Court may deem appropriate.
