THE STATE OF TEXAS                                                        APPELLEE

                        MOTION TO RECALCULATE TIME
                         TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE FOURTH COURT OF
APPEALS OF TEXAS:

          COMES NOW, JULIO ALEJANDRO ZUNIGA, the Appellant in the above

styled and numbered cause, pursuant to Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 10.5(b)

and 38.6(a)(2), through the undersigned counsel, files this motion to recalculate time

to file the Appellant’s brief. In support of this motion the Appellant respectfully

shows the following:

     I.      Current deadline for filing the Appellant’s brief:

          On June 3, 2015, the court ordered that the appellant’s brief was due to be

filed by July 3, 2015. Appellant’s first extension of time to file the Appellant’s brief

                                             1
was granted on July 2, 2015, and the Appellant’s brief is now due to be filed on or

before August 3, 2015.

   II.       The complete reporter’s record has not been filed:

          On June 3, 2015, all filings, from appeal number 04-15-00224-CR, including

the clerk’s and reporter’s records, were ordered to be transferred to this appeal

number. The only part of the reporter’s record that has yet been filed under either

appeal number is the two volumes that were filed by Roxanne F. Pena on May 4,

2015.

   III.      The complete reporter’s record was requested:

          On April 17, 2015, by written request filed with the clerk of the trial court in

cause number 2014CR0936, the undersigned requested preparation of the reporter’s

record from the remainder of the proceedings, including the jury trial. A copy of the

filed marked request for preparation of the reporter’s record is attached to this

motion as an appendix.

   IV.       There can be no filing date until the complete reporter’s record is filed:

          Until the complete reporter’s record is filed, the undersigned cannot begin

work on the Appellant’s brief. Moreover, no due date for the Appellant’s brief can

be assigned until the complete reporter’s record is filed. TEX.R.APP.P. 4.1(a) and

38.6(a)(2).

                                              2
                                      PRAYER

      THEREFORE, undersigned counsel for the Appellant prays that this Court

issue an order suspending the current due date for filing the Appellant’s brief in the

above case and recalculate the filing date once the complete reporter’s record is

filed. As always, the Appellant also asks this Court to grant all such relief as is fair

and just.

                                        Respectfully submitted,

                                        RICHARD B. DULANY, JR.
