        MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S
                            BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF SAID COURT:

        Now comes STEPHANIE LIMAURO, Appellant in the above styled and

numbered cause, and moves this Court to grant an extension of time to file

Appellant’s brief, pursuant to Rule 38.6 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure,

and for good cause shows the following:

        1.     This case is on appeal from the 416th Judicial District Court of Collin

               County, Texas.

        2.     The case below was styled the STATE OF TEXAS vs. STEPHANIE

               LIMAURO, and numbered 416-82584-2020.

        3.     Appellant was convicted of the offense of aggravated robbery.

        4.     Appellant was assessed a sentence of 30 years in the Texas Department

               of Criminal Justice on June 24, 2021.

        5.     Notice of appeal was given on July 23, 2021.

       6.      The clerk's record was filed on August 19, 2021; the reporter's record

               was filed on September 20, 2021.

       7.      Appellant's brief was due on December 20, 2023.

       8.      Movant believed Appellant’s brief and Motion for Extension were

               properly e-filed on January 4, 2023. Apparently, the filing was not

               received.

       9.      Appellant requests an extension of time of 52 days from the present

               due date, i.e. January 4, 2024.

       10.     Defendant is currently incarcerated.

       11.     Appellant relies on the following facts as good cause for the requested

               extension:

               a. Appellant’s attorney’s current caseload has resulted in the necessity

                   to request an extension.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that this

Court grant this Motion to Extend Time to File Appellant's Brief, and for such other

and further relief as the Court may deem appropriate and consider Appellant’s brief

timely filed on today’s date.

                                                Respectfully submitted,
