KEVIN DUANE DRISDALE                              APPELLANT

               APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION

                    OF TIME TO FILE BRIEF

    COMES NOW Appellant, KEVIN DUAN DRISDALE, by and

through his attorney of record, James H. Kreimeyer, and

respectfully moves the Court to extend the time for

filing   the   Appellant’s   Brief   in   this   cause,   and   in

support hereof would show the Court as follows:
                                     I.

    On     December     8,     2014,      Appellant       entered    a   plea

pursuant    to   a     plea    bargain     with     the    prosecutor       and

approved by the Court, and the punishment assessed was

twenty years (20) in the Texas Department of Criminal

Justice,    Institutional          Division.         The    trial    court’s

certificate      of    Appellant’s         Right    to     Appeal    granted

Appellant’s      appeal       of   the    denial     of    the    Motion     to

Suppress.        The    original       notice      of    appeal     filed    on

behalf of Appellant on January 5, 2015, did not address

the right to appeal denial of a pre-trial motion.

                                    II.

    An Amended Notice of Appeal was filed on March 31,

2015,    with    the    Third      Court    of     Criminal      Appeals     in

Austin.     Appellant’s Record is due for filing with this

court on April 17, 2015.             Appellant’s Brief is due for

filing with the Court of Appeals on March 27, 2015.

                                    III.

    Appellant’s attorney would respectfully request an

extension of time to file Appellant’s brief due to the
late    appointment   on   March   18,   2015   and   Appellant’s

attorney filing a corrected Notice of Appeal delayed

further filings of docketing statement, designations of

records.      Appellant’s   attorney     was    admitted   to   the

emergency room of Scott & White Memorial Hospital on

Wednesday, April 8, 2015, due to complications of heart

medicine and released Thursday, April 9, 2015.

       This Motion for Extension of Time is not filed for

the purpose of delay, but so that the ends of justice

may be served.

       WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant requests

the Court to grant a forty five (45) day extension of

time to file the brief herein until May 11, 2015.

                                   Respectfully submitted,

                                   /s/ James H. Kreimeyer
