        Now comes CEDRIC J. HILL, Appellant in the above styled and numbered cause, and

moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file appellant's brief, pursuant to Rule 38.6 of

the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and for good cause shows the following:

        1.     This case is on appeal from the 71ST Judicial District Court of HARRISON

County, Texas.

        2.     The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs.CEDRIC J. HILL, and

numbered 12-0317X.

        3.     Appellant was convicted of DELIVERY OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE.

        4.     Appellant was assessed a sentence of 14 years on July 26, 2012.

        5.     Notice of appeal was given on JANUARY 8, 2015.

        6.     The clerk's record was filed on JANUARY 9, 2015; the reporter's record was filed

on APRIL 10, 2015.

        7.     The appellate brief is presently due on now on May 11, 2015.
       8.             Appellant requests an extension of time of 30 days from the present date, i.e.

May 11, 2015.

       9.       No extension to file the brief has been received in this cause.

       10.      Defendant is currently incarcerated.

    Court grant this Motion To Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such other and
