TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      APPELLANT, pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1, 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), moves

for an extension of time within which to file its appellate brief.   In support of its

motion, appellant submits the following:

      1.     Appellant was charged with aggravated robbery.
      2.     A jury convicted appellant of the charged offense and the jury sentenced
             him to 40 years confinement in the Institutional Division of the Texas
             Department of Criminal Justice on October 30, 2014.
      3.     Notice of appeal was filed on October 30, 2014.
      4.     Appellant’s brief was due on January 28, 2015.

      5.     Appellant seeks an extension to file his brief until April 6, 2015.

      6.     The following facts are relied upon to show good cause for the
             requested extension:

             a. Counsel has been acting as co-counsel on a case involving Garcia
                Glen White. Mr. White was set to be executed on January 28, 2015.

             b. Counsel had been preparing for a hearing on a capital case, Ex parte
                Williams, Cause No. 1088181-A, set for January 14, 2015.

             c. Counsel has filed subsequent writs in Ex parte Williams, Cause Nos.
                1088181-B and 1088181-C.

             d. Counsel has been working on Dorsey v. State, No. 01-14-00685-CR

      7.     Appellant’s motion is not for purposes of delay, but so that justice may
             be done.

      WHEREFORE, the State prays that this Court will grant the requested

extension.

                                           Respectfully submitted,
