APPELLANT’S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF
            PENDING COURT’S DISMISSAL OF APPEAL

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

       Now comes Austin Reeve Jackson, counsel for Appellant in the above entitled and

numbered cause, and makes this Motion, and for good cause shows the following:

                                              I.

       Appellant’s brief in this matter is due on 25 June 2015. No prior extensions have

been requested.

                                              II.

       Counsel has filed a memorandum with the Court outlining that Mr. Lynch waived

his right to appeal at the time he entered his plea in this case. Additionally, the trial court

has filed findings of fact with the Court indicating the same thing. Therefore, Counsel

believes the Court must dismiss this appeal. Therefore, pending the Court’s decision on

that issue, Counsel would request the Court extend the time to file brief in this matter.

                                              II.

       No prior extensions have been requested and is respectfully prayed that the in the

interest of justice, the Court grant this motion.
       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, undersigned counsel respectfully

prays that, in accordance with the applicable law, the Court grant this Motion and extend

the date by which to file a brief by thirty days.

                                           Respectfully submitted,

                                           /s/Austin Reeve Jackson
