       YVETT MINNIE IBARRA
                   Appellant
                     v.
        THE STATE OF TEXAS
                   Appellee

STATE’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
   IN WHICH TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
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 this case, and, in support thereof, presents the

following:

       1. In the 263rd District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause number 1385877,
          The State of Texas v. Yvette Minnie Ibarra, Appellant plead guilty to aggravate
          assault of a family member, and was placed on a five year deferred adjudication on
          May 28, 2013.

       2. A motion to adjudicate was filed on March 18, 2014.

       3. A hearing on the motion to adjudicate was conducted on May 8, 2014, and
          Appellant was adjudicated guilty and sentenced to three years in the Texas
          Department of Criminal Justice, Correctional Institutions Division.

       4. A written notice of appeal was timely filed on May 8, 2014.

       5. The State’s brief was due on December 22, 2014.

       6. An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested until December
           31, 2014.

       7. Three previous extensions of time have been requested by the State.

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

       The State’s Assistant District Attorney on appeal was originally assigned this
       appeal on October 7, 2014, and had three previously assigned briefs to
       complete prior to beginning work on this brief. The State’s Assistant District
       Attorney on appeal is finalizing the brief for submission on Ibarra v. State, 14-
       14-00471-CR. In the last month the State’s Assistant District Attorney on
       appeal has submitted a brief in Casiano v. State, 01-14-00020-CR, attended to
       required duties as the Harris County District Attorney’s Office representative
       on the Harris County Veterans’ Court Program, and been called out of state
       for 5 days of required U.S. Navy Reserve duty. The State’s Assistant District
       Attorney on appeal has been recalled to active duty from December 26, 2014
       through January 4, 2015, which has delayed progress on this appeal.
       Additional time is required in order to complete the editing process in this
       case.

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

December 31, 2014 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.

                                                           Respectfully submitted,
