TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS:

      COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, in accordance with Rules 10.5(b)(1)

and 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and files this motion for

extension of time in which to file the State’s brief in these cases, and, in support

thereof, presents the following:

      1. In the 338th district court of Harris County, Texas, cause 1300894, the State

          of Texas v. Arkadi Minassian, appellant, was convicted of fraudulent use or

          possession of identifying information.
       2. He was assessed punishment of confinement for 30 years in the Institutional

       Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

       3. The State’s brief is due on July 29, 2015.

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

       August 28, 2015.

       5. One previous extension has been requested by the State.

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

       Since my last motion for extension, I have filed a brief in cause number
01-14-00831-CR. I was in Austin from July 8 through July 9th to attend the
disciplinary committee meeting regarding In the Matter of Sondra Humphrey, Cause
No. CSR-15-06160-021. Additionally, I answer trial court questions from other
prosecutors on a daily basis. Also, I was on vacation from July 23rd through July
28th. This motion is not sought for delay, but so that justice may be done.

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

until August 28, 2015 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.

                                                        Respectfully submitted,
