        1APPELLE'S SECOND MOTION FOR EXTENTION OF TIME
        \

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Comes Now, Hector Martinez, Appellee in the above-styled cause,

and respectfully moves for a deadline for filing the Appellee's brief, and in

accordance with the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 38.6 and 10.5(b),

advises the Court as follows:

   a) The Defendant filed a Motion to Suppress Evidence on August 1,

      2014. The Trial Court filed an Order granting the Motion to Suppres
   Evidence on September 9, 2014. The State timely filed notice of

   appeal in the above cause on September 11, 2014. The reporter's

   record was filed on September 22, 2014. The clerk's record was filed

   on October 8th 2014.

b) The Defendant's brief is currently due on March 2, 2015.

c) This request is that the deadline for filing the Appellee's brief be

   extended by 30 days.

d) This is the Appellee's first request for an extension.

e) The Appellee relies upon the following facts to reasonably explain the

   need for an extension of the deadline.

      1) Appellee's counsel maintains an active civil and criminal law

          practice in Travis, Caldwell, Hays, Williamson, and Hidalgo

          Counties. Since the filing of the State's notice of appeal and

          State's brief Appellee's counsel has been responsible for the

          maintenance of multiple cases spanning Central and South

          Texas.

      2) Further, the state raised the issue of exigent circumstances in

          the State's brief. This issue was previously discussed as a non-

          issue between the State's attorney and Appellee's attorney.
         3) This issue now being raised requires additional research for

            Appellee's counseL

         4) Appellee's counsel contracted co-counsel to assist m the

             drafting of Appellee's brief.

         5) Appellee's counsel requests this last and final extension.

WHEREFORE, Hector Martinez, Appellee, respectfully requests the Court

extend the deadline for filing Appellee's brief to April   1st, 2014.
                                              Respectfully submitted,
