       MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

     COMES NOW THE APPELLANT, TERRELL MAXWELL, by and through attorney

Jon Evans, and would move the Court for an extension of time for filing Appellant’s brief

in this cause and in support of this Motion would show the Court as follows:

                                                I.

     If no extension of time is granted by this Court, Appellant’s brief was to be filed by

April 7, 2015.

                                                II.

         Appellant seeks an extension of until April 28, 2015, to file Appellant’s brief.

                                                III.

         A reasonable explanation for the need for an extension of time to file Appellant’s

brief exists.

         Defense Counsel suffered a head injury in March from which he is still recovering

and needed additional time to draft and file this brief.

         In addition, Counsel has been in final stages of negotiation of a death penalty case,

which was finally resolved on April 23, 2015.
                                               IV.

       Extensions of time have been granted previously by the Court in this cause.

                                               V.

   An extension of time for filing Appellant’s brief will not delay submission of this

cause in the prescribed order, and no harm will result to the Appellee as a result of the

extension of time for filing briefs, in that this case has not been set for submission.

   WHEREFORE, Appellant request that the Court enter an order extending the time for

filing Appellant’s brief to the 28th day of April, 2015.

                                                            Respectfully submitted,
