 In the 384th District Court (transferred from the 168th District
                                        Court)

                             El Paso County,      Texas

               The Honorable Patrick Garcia, Judge Presiding

                          JOINT MOTION FOR EXTENSION

    COME NOW the Applicant, Michael Jacques, by and through his

counsel, the El Paso County Public Defender's Office, and State of

Texas, by and through her counsel, the Honorable Lily Stroud, and
HEREBY jointly move the Court of Criminal Appeals grant the habeas

court    and    counsel    an    extension     from   the   current    timeline         of

Wednesday, July 29, 2015, to Friday, the 30th of October, 2015.                         In
support of the joint motion, the parties show:

  1) The evidentiary hearing on the instant Application was held
        on June 16th and 23rd in the 384th District Court, with two

        different court reporters.

         Joint Motion for Extension

                                                                 ELECTRONIC
                                                                   RECORD
2) The transcripts for the hearing have been requested and are
  necessary for the parties and the 384th District Court to
  utilize in the preparation. of the parties' findings of fact

  and conclusions of law, and for the 384th District Court's
  review thereof and ultimate entry of its findings of fact and

  conclusions of law for submission to the Court.

3) It is believed that the preparation of such transcripts, and
  the parties' and the 384th District Court's findings of fact
  and conclusions of law will require additional time beyond

  the present deadline, and that due to the Court's vacation
  schedule, that a continuance must be requested at this time
   to ensure that the court reporters,          the parties,     and the

   384th   District   Court   can   complete   the   remaining     matters

• needed to comply with this Court's Order entered April 1st of
   this year.

4) Attached hereto is the affidavit of Lisa De Mello, the court
   reporter     for the all day hearing         held June    16,     2015,
   representing that she needs 60 days from today's date to
   complete the transcript for that portion of the hearing.

 5) This is the first request for a continuance to extend the
   time to finish the matters remaining after the 384th District
   Court's    evidentiary writ hearing.         This Court previously
   granted an extension of 60 days for the 384th District Court
     Joint Motion for Extension
    to resolve earlier fact issue regarding the compliance of the

    Applicant's memorandum with Rule 73.1(d) of the Texas Rules

    of Appellate Procedure.

  6) The     parties   are   jointly seeking this     extension     not .for
    purposes of delay but to see that justice is done.

  WHEREFORE,     the parties respectfully request the Court grant
this Joint Motion and extend the time for the parties and the

Court to complete all matters pertaining to Application by Friday,
October 30, 2015, and for any other relief deemed proper.
