STATE OF TEXAS                         §                 APPELLANT

vs.                                    §

HECTOR MARTINEZ                        §                        APPELLEE

       APPEAL FROM THE 427th nJDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

                        TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS

                     CAUSE NO. D-1-DC-13-900228

             APPELLE'S 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 Suppress
   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 gth 2014.

b) The Defendant's brief is currently due on January 30, 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) The State filed its brief on December 31 st, 2014, a day more

         commonly known as New Year's Eve.

      2) 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.

      3) 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.

            This issue now being raised requires additional research for

            Appellee's counsel.

WHEREFORE, Hector Martinez, Appellee, respectfully requests the Court

extend the deadline for filing Appellee's brief to March 2"d, 2014.
