l am in receipt of your correspondence dated March 12, 2015 iegarding the above referenced
matter. Please accept this correspondence as a Motion for Extension of Time to produce a supplemental
record on this matter as remanded for a determination of additional facts.

Your correspondence of March 12, 2015 is the first time this matter has been brought to my
attention On January 8, 2015, l was appointed to fill the vacancy left by Judge Ralph Burgess Who
assumed the duties of his office on the 6" Court of Appeals January l, 2015. l have spoken to Justice
Burgess and he indicates he has no present recollection of the Writ or the Court’s remand for further
proceedings As indicated, this judge Was not aware of the remand that Was issued prior to assuming the
duties of this office. Like the trial court, the District Clerk and District Attorney only assumed office on
January l, 2015 and neither of them has indicated they were aware of this pending matter prior to your
letter of l\/larch 12, 2015. Accordingly, please present this correspondence to the Court for an extension
