                          TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF
APPEALS:

      Appellant, ANDREAS MARCOPOULOS, by and through his Counsel of

Record, CARMEN ROE and ROBERT FICKMAN, files this Motion to Extend Time

to File Brief For Appellant and in support shows this Court the following:

                                               I.

      Appellant was charged with possession of a controlled substance in Cause No.

1440970 in the 248th District Court of Harris County Texas. Appellant entered a plea of
guilty and was placed on deferred adjudication probation for three (3) years.

                                               II.

      The Reporter’s Record was filed on June 22, 2015 and the Clerk’s Record was

filed on June 24, 2015. Appellant’s Brief is currently due on August 20, 2015, after one

extension was granted.

                                              III.

      Appellant requests an extension of thirty (30) days until September 21, 2015 to

file its brief. Counsel requests the additional time because undersigned counsel has the

following briefs do in the next 30 days: State v. Mashood Uddin, State v. Jordan

Nichols, State .v Christopher Redmond Reply Brief as well as writs of habeas corpus in

Ex parte Michael Hill, Ex parte Bryant Williams, and Ex parte Jerrell Bell. For all these

reasons, Counsel is unable to submit the Appellant’s Brief on the due date and hereby

requests an extension of time.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this Honorable

Court extend the time for filing Appellant’s Brief in this cause until September 21, 2015.
