STATE’S UNOPPOSED FOURTH & FINAL MOTION TO EXTEND TIME
                     TO FILE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

      Now comes the State of Texas, Appellant in the above styled and numbered

cause, and moves for an extension of time of 28 days to file Appellee’s brief, and

for good cause would show the following:

                                         I.

      Appellee was indicted by a grand jury on June 5, 2013 for the charge of

Intoxication Manslaughter in CR2013-267.Appellee’s motion to suppress evidence

was granted by the trial court on February 18, 2015, and the State timely appealed

pursuant to article 44.01 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. A stay was granted by

the Court of Appeals on March 20, 2015. After the Court abated and remanded the

case for entry of the trial court’s findings, the case was reinstated in the Court on

July 20, 2015. The State’s brief is currently due on September 18, 2015.

                                         II.

      I am handling the appeal for the State in this case. In early September I had

trial in CR2013-377. I then finished working on the State’s brief in cause number

                                         1
03-14-00270-CV before it was submitted to the Court on September 9, 2015. I also

had to handle my regular duties, including intake, grand jury indictments and

docket calls. Additionally, next week I will be attending a nearly week-long

conference with my office to meet my annual CLE requirements. While I have

completed part of the State’s brief in the instant case, I have not yet had the

opportunity to complete it. In light of the foregoing, the State respectfully requests

an extension of 28 days to file its brief. This is the fourth and final extension

sought by Appellant, and it is unopposed by Appellee.

                                         III.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the State’s counsel

respectfully prays for an extension of 28 days, until October 16, 2015, so that

Appellant’s brief will fully, adequately and accurately present its case to the

Honorable Court of Appeals. This extension is not requested for purposes of delay

but so that justice may be done.

                                       Respectfully submitted,

                                       /s/ Daniel Palmitier
