 APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

         COMES NOW THE APPELLANT David Mark Davis II, Pro Se, and would
respectfully show the Honorable Court the following:

      1. Appellant is not represented by Counsel
      2. Appellant’s opening brief is due to be filed with this court in this cause no
         later than June 29, 2015
      3. On May 30, 2015, Appellant was involved in an automobile accident in
         Lufkin, Texas. During said accident, Appellant was ‘T-boned’ by another
         driver who was illegally proceeding through the passageway. To the best of
         Appellant’s knowledge, both the Lufkin Police Department and the other
         parties insurance company have held that the Appellant at 0% liability for
         the accident.
      4. As a result of the accident, Appellant sustained traumatic brain injury and
         injury to the nerves and spine. Appellant has been in the hospital twice and
         has been told to continue to expect daily medical appointments for the spine
         and nerve issues.
   5. Prior to this accident and while working in the intelligence field in a
         sensitive position, the Appellant had already sustained life threatening
         injuries, these injuries will likely cause Appellant’s current injuries to not
         heal as fast. These injuries are brought up to justify the need for the 30 day
         extension. See “Exhibit A”

WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Appellant Prays the Honorable
Court GRANT the 30 day extension to allow Appellant the opportunity to file his
brief.

                                                   Respectfully Submitted,

                                                   David Mark Davis II
                                                   Appellant, Pro Se
                            Certificate of Service

      I certify that on June 10, 2015, I sent a copy of Appellant’s Motion for
Extension of Time to File Brief to all parties listed below as indicated.

                                               ____________________
