MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME
TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
Comes now John Kuchera, undersigned counsel for Appellant, pursuant to
Rule 38.6(d) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, and files this motion for an
extension of thirty (30) days in which to the file Appellant’s brief in the above-
entitled and numbered cause. In support of this motion, undersigned counsel would
show the Court the following.
Counsel was notified by this Court on October 28, 2015 that Appellant’s brief
was overdue. Counsel has simply been negligent and did not calendar the due date
for the brief when the Clerk’s Record was filed September 9, 2015. Counsel is
presently working on an appellate brief in U.S.A. v. Pina, Appeal No. 15-50792 in
the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals which is due November 1, 2015. Counsel will
begin Appellant’s brief immediately thereafter.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, undersigned counsel requests
that this Court grant an extension through November 9, 2015, for the filing of
Appellant's brief herein.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ John A. Kuchera
