       APPELLEE'S UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE OF ONE DAY TO FILE
           APPELLEE'S BRIEF WITH CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THIS COURT:

       COMES NOW GUY ROBB COWEN, APPELLANT-MOVANT, herein and files his

Unopposed Motion for Leave of One Day to File Appellee's Brief, pursuant to Local Rules 47

and 52 and Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.1 and 10.5(b)(1), and in support thereof

shows the following:

                         I. BACKGROUND AND BASIS FOR LEAVE

       Briefly, by way of background, the undersigned counsel was served Appellant's brief on

or about December 10, 2014, making the Appellee's brief due on January 9, 2015. A thirty (30)

day extension was granted, without opposition, making the brief due on February 9, 2015,

because the undersigned counsel, aside from having a trial practice, is currently working on a

total of five (5) briefs with two (2) of those being Petitions for Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme

Court from the US Court of Appeals in the 10 th and 5th Circuits. The undersigned counsel is a

solo practitioner. Additionally, the undersigned counsel has been suffering from a back injury

and is set for an MRI tomorrow and that has delayed completion. The undersigned counsel seeks

leave for one day to file the Appellee's brief and Appendix which are filed along with this

Motion.

                          II. GOOD CAUSE AND NOT FOR DELAY

                                                  1
       The Motion is not filed due to Movant's actions or omissions of any kind. Moreover, the

motion is not sought for delay and is in the interest of justice and to honor this country’s

constitutional mandates to the right to effective assistance of counsel and due process.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned counsel prays that

Appellee-Movant be granted leave to file his brief in the proceeding herein.

                                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                                       By:___/s/__Marie E. Galindo_______
