                                 EMERGENCY MOTION TO STAY

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

     COMES NOW, BRIAN KEITH GORHAM, Relator, Pro Se, in the styled and numbered cause of
action and files this   Motion to Stgay pursuant to Tex.R.App.Proc. 52.10(a) and will
show thesCourt the following:

     On August 23, 2D17, this Court ordered the 175th District Court of BexarxCounty to
further develop the record in Applicant's! 11.07 Writ of habeas corpus. ThisE order stated
in pertinent,
     "The trial court shall order trial counsel to respond again to the above claims and
     elaborate on his strategy and reasoning."
The trial Court did this and made her "Supplemental Order" including Facts Finding and
Conclusions of Law on November 3D, 2017, 'within the prescribed time allotted by this Court.
Relator didr* NOT receive a copy of the "Supplemental Order" until December 12, 2017, this
can be verified throughtthe prison legal mailroom.

     Relator believes under Tex.R.App.Proc. 73.4(b)(2) stating in- pertinent "a party has
10 days from the date he receives the findings to file objections, ..." Movant is notifying
the Courts that objection will be made within the 10 days and requests that the Court of
Criminal Appeals stay any proceedings in it's decision making untilrrisuch objections are
received. Relator believes that there could be a decision in this case due to the delay
in reception of the "Supplemental Order" and between the time to concoct and mail to the
Court and respectfully requests temporary relief by stay until objections are submitted
and reviewed.

                                  PRAYER

     FOR ALL THESE REASONS, Mr. Brian Keith Gorham, respectfully prays this Honorable

Court of Criminal Appeals GRANT this EMERGENCY MOTION TO STAY allowing Applicant to file
objections to the 175th Dist. Courts "Supplemental Order" Facts Finding and Conclusions

of Law.
