CR-14-0882, the Honorable Gary Steel, Judge Presiding Motion for Extension of Time To File
Appellant’s Brief on Appeal TO THE HONORABLE THIRD COURT OF APPEALS:
COMES NOW, Matthew Devere Warfield, Appellant in the
above styled and numbered cause, by and through John G.
Jasuta, his undersigned attorney of record, and respectfully enters
this “Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellant’s Brief on
Appeal,” and in support of such Motion would show the Court:
I
Appellant was convicted of the offenses of Evading Arrest
(Count I), Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon (Count II) and
Tampering with Physical Evidence (Count III). Appellant was
sentenced to confinement for twenty (20) years in Count I, forty
(40) years in Count II, and fifteen (15) years in Count III. The trial
court imposed sentence on July 16, 2015. Motion for new trial
and Notice of Appeal were timely filed with the clerk of the trial
court.
II
The deadline for filing Appellant’s Brief with the Court is 23rd
of December, 2015. The undersigned makes this request because
the issues presented by this multi-count case are complex and
intertwined and have, therefore, required additional study and
research. This additional research and study require additional
time.
III
Said attorney would further show that, due to scheduling
commitments already in place, he will require an additional forty-
five (45) days in which to complete the research and prepare
Appellant’s Brief on Appeal. This is Appellant’s first request for an
extension of time in which to file his brief.
Prayer
WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays this
Honorable Court to grant his “Motion for Extension of Time to File
Brief on Appeal,” and Order that the deadline for filing such be
extended an additional forty-five (45) days, until February 8, 2016,
or until such time as set by this Court.
