                               Appellant’s attorney is a sole practitioner engaged in the general
                               practice of law. Said attorney has a heavy caseload and has been
                               engaged in other criminal matters. Appellant’s Counsel currently has
                               several briefs due to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, the United

                                                         III.

               The additional time requested is not sought solely for delay, nor sought

frivolously, but will be of genuine assistance to Appellant’s attorney in preparing

Appellant’s brief.

               Appellant prays that the Court grant this Motion and modify and extend the

deadline for filing Appellant’s brief to March 23, 2015, or that this Court grant such

additional time as is just and proper.

                                                        Respectfully submitted,
