                                     APPELLANT'S BRIEF

         TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:

                   NOW COMES ERIC DWAYNE STEVENSON, the Appellant in the
         above-entitled and numbered cause, by and through his COUNSEL, and
         would move the Court to extend the time to file Appellant's Brief until July
         29,2015.
                                                 I.

                   The deadline for filing the brief is May 29, 2015. There has been no
         previous extensions of time to file the brief in this cause.
                                                 II.

                   The Petition for Discretionary Review was granted on April 29, 2015.
          Cause Number PD-0122-15. Appellant's brief is due on My 29, 2015.
          There have been no previous motions for extension of time filed.

                                                 III.

                   Appellate Counsel has been very busy during the last three months.
          Appellate Counsel was in ICU at Baylor Hospital in Waxahachie, Texas
          from January 1, 2015 until January 3, 2015 with a severe hemorrhage of the
          stomach. Even after release from the hospital, he was anemic for some time.
He was not able to return to work for several weeks, and then only part-time
for two more weeks. Therefore, Appellate Counsel has been playing catch
up.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the APPELLANT
respectfully prays that the Honorable Court grant this motion.

                                       RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,

                                        /s/ Scott Walker
