RE: Court of Appeals No. 03-14-00722-CR, 03-14-00723-CR, 03-14-00724-CR; Mark Fruge vs State of Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. D-1-DC-13-200256, D-1-DC-13-200257, D-1-DC-13-200259; State of Texas vs Mark Fruge, 331 st Judicial District Court, Travis County, Texas Dear Mr. Kyle:
I am respectfully requesting an eight-day extension in the above-mentioned cause after February 17, 2015 filing date to be February 26, 2015. I recently had a complication with a scopist/sub contractor who was assisting me with part of the above-mentioned case. Early on she assured me she would have the volumes I sent her completed. I recently received an email from the scopist with the opening line, “ I'm so sorry to be such a slacker. I meant to email you three weeks ago when I had surgery on my wrist….”
I have been working diligently on the files that were sent to this person. From the 12-volume appeal, nine volumes have been completed. I am currently completing the last day of the guilt/innocence phase and following will be the punishment phase volume. The scanning and production of the exhibit volume consisting of over 220 exhibits will begin immediately thereafter.
Thank you in advance for your time and attention and consideration regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
Raquel Kocher, CSR
