MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE SIXTH COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW, Jonathan Hyatt, and files his Motion for Extension of Time

to File Appellee’s Brief, pursuant to Rules 9 and 10 of the Texas Rules of

Appellate Procedure, and in support thereof, would show the Court the following:

                                            I.

      The Deadline for filing Appellee’s Brief is July 6, 2015.

                                           II.

      The length of the extension sought is 30 days.

                                           III.

Appellee relies on the following facts to reasonably explain said request for an

extension:

      A. Collateral duties within the District Attorney’s Office require that

         counsel prepare for a jury trial with jury selection to commence on the

         due date of the Appellee Brief. Said case is State v. Victor Dunn, 2014-

         0838, Harrison County Court at Law.

                                                                                       1
      B. Additional staff at the District Attorney’s office is participating in a

          Capital Murder case set to begin on the due date of Appellee’s brief.

          Incidentally, the Attorney for Appellant is participating in that case as

          well.

                                          IV.

This is the first request for an extension to file Appellee’s Brief.

      Wherefore, premises considered, undersigned counsel prays for this Court to

extend the time for filing Appellee brief until August 5, 2015, which is thirty days

from the current deadline.

                                        Respectfully Submitted,

                                        /s/ Jonathan Hyatt
