TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS:

      COMES NOW THE STATE OF TEXAS, in accordance with Rules 10.5(b)(1)

and 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and files this motion for

extension of time in which to file the State’s brief in these cases, and, in support

thereof, presents the following:

      1. In the 338th district court of Harris County, Texas, cause 1300894, the State

          of Texas v. Arkadi Minassian, appellant, was convicted of fraudulent use or

          possession of identifying information.
       2. He was assessed punishment of confinement for 30 years in the Institutional

       Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

       3. The State’s brief was due on August 28, 2015.

       4. An extension of time in which to file the State’s brief is requested until

       September 28, 2015.

       5. Two previous extension has been requested by the State.

       6. The facts relied upon to explain the need for this extension are:

        Since my last motion for extension, I have filed motions in cause
number 01-14-0444-CR and 14-14-00831-CR. I will be filing a brief in cause
numbers 01-14-01032-CR and 01-14-01033-CR this week. Also, I prepared for
and participated in a contempt hearing on August 28, 2015, against Sondra
Humphrey, the former official court reporter for County Court at Law No. 8
of Harris County, Texas. Additionally, I answer trial court questions from other
prosecutors on a daily basis. This motion is not sought for delay, but so that
justice may be done.

       WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant an extension of time

until September 28, 2015 in which to file the State’s brief in this case.

                                                        Respectfully submitted,
