         UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
                      BRIEF FOR APPELLANT
                 _________________________________

To the Honorable Justices of the Court of Appeals:

      Appellant, JOSEPH BARUCH RODRIGUEZ, by and through his Counsel of

Record, JARED ROBINSON, files this Unopposed Motion to Extend Time to File Brief

and in support shows this Court the following:

                                           I.

      Appellant pled guilty to one count of Possession of a Controlled Substance, in the

amount of 1 to 4 grams on October 17, 2012. The court assessed punishment at 5 years

Deferred Adjudication Probation.
       On September 29th, 2014, the State of Texas filed a Motion to Adjudicate Guilt-

Revoke Community Supervision. A contested hearing was held on December 18th, 2014,

and the court found “true” that the defendant had violated conditions 1, 16A, 19, 22, and

26 of defendant’s probation. On February 13, 2015 the court sentenced appellant to

confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for a period of Six (6) years.

                                             II.

       Appellant’s brief is due on or before August 30, 2015. Appellant’s counsel

respectfully requests an extension for at least sixty days to file Appellant’s brief. The

Assistant District Attorney handling the case, Rebecca Klaren, has indicated the State of

Texas is unopposed to Appellant’s request for an extension.

       Appellant’s counsel needs additional time to complete his brief and additional

time to review the Reporter’s Record because of conflicts created by work in other cases.

More specifically, counsel for Appellant has been diligently preparing for multiple trials

that were scheduled to begin in Galveston County on August 24th and preparing for

another trial scheduled to begin in Galveston County on September 14th. This is the first

request for an extension of time filed with this Court. Therefore Counsel requests that

this Court extend the time to file Appellant’s Brief until at least October 30th, 2015.

                                           Respectfully Submitted,

                                           JONES ROBINSON, LLP.
