                                               I

       Appellee seeks an extension of time for the follou,ing reasons:

       1      Appellant's motion alleges insufficiency of the evidence, and Appellee's
              response requires extensive fact-intensive briefing.
2   Appellant filed Appellant's Brief in this matter on February 4, 2015.
    Appellee subsequently completed other appellate matters. Appellee filed
    its brief in Wheeler v. State, 01-14-0868-CR, on February 5,            2015.
    Appellee completed and filed its brief in Marek v. State, 0l-14-00431-CR,
    on February 9,2015.

3   Appellee is first chair on a contested Motion to Adjudicate hearing on State
    v.   Laura Lyons, Possession      of a    Controlled Substance (First Degree
    Felony),2007R-0116        at   1:30 p.m. on March 3,2015 and has been
    preparing for that hearing.

4   Appellee is first chair on the trial to determine competency on State v.
    Pickron, Murder, 2011R-0076, and has been actively preparing for this
    competency trial, with evidence to begin the afternoon of March 9,2015.

)   Appellee is first chair on the trial of State v. Holba, Continuous Sexual
    Abuse of a Child, 2013R-0094, and has been actively preparing for trial,
    with evidence to begin on March    1   1, 2015.

6   Appellee's office has only four attorneys, and Appellee is responsible for
    all appellate matters within the office. As part of Appellee's additional
    responsibilities as a misdemeanor and felony prosecutor, Appellee        has

    represented the State on felony and misdemeanor dockets on February 12ft,

    171h,   and lgth, 2015, and will be required to represent the State on felony
    and misdemeanor dockets on March 3'd, 5th, 19th, 241h, and 26th,2015.
                                             II.

        This is the first extension requested. Appellee has contacted Appellant,s counsel,

who does not oppose the extension. There have been no previous extensions.

                                             ilt.
        Appellee moves to extend time to file Appellee's Brief until April 6, 2015.
