     APPELLANT’S SECOND MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR
              FILING OF APPELLANT’S BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

      COMES NOW THE APPELLANT, by and through his appointed

attorney of record, Paul M. Evans, in the above entitled and numbered

cause, and moves this Court, to grant the Appellant’s Second Motion to

Extend Time for Filing Appellant’s Brief, and, in support thereof, would

show the Court as follows:

                                 I.

      Appellant’s Brief was due before this Court on April 14, 2015. A

previous Motion to Extend Time was filed on April 6, 2015. The prior

motion was granted on April 8, 2015.

                                II.

      The undersigned counsel had previously represented in good faith to

this Court that he anticipated filing an Anders brief in the instant cause.

However, Counsel has determined that the record does in fact contain a
potentially meritorious, non-frivolous issue that deserves to be brought to

this Court’s attention. Accordingly, the present Draft of the Appellant’s

Brief—essentially, a brief written according to Anders procedure—will

need substantial revision.

                               III.

      Counsel would very respectfully request that the deadline for the

Appellant’s brief be extended to May 1, 2015, in order that the undersigned

counsel may have adequate time and opportunity to revise the present draft

of the Appellant’s Brief and complete the necessary research and drafting to

present the issue described above.

                               IV.

      This Motion is not made for purposes of delay, but so that justice

might be served.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Defendant respectfully

prays that this Court, upon good cause shown, grant the Appellant’s Second

Motion to Extend Time for Filing Appellant’s Brief.
                                          Respectfully submitted,
