MOTION FOR ACCEPTANCE OF LATE BRIEF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

Now comes Austin Reeve Jackson, counsel for Appellant in the above entitled and

numbered cause, and makes this Motion, and for good cause shows the following:

I.

Appellant’s brief in this matter was due on 31 April 2015 and is being filed

concurrently with this motion. No prior extensions have been requested.

II.

While working on this case counsel has also been working on approximately 50

open appellate cases in this and other courts to which he has been appointed by Smith

County. This has included investigating motions for new trials (looking for and talking

with potential witnesses, jail and office visits with new appellate appointments, trial court

appearances for the same), requests for and reviews of reporter’s and clerk’s records,

research, briefing, review of opinions, investigation of potential PDR issues, etc. While

not all of these seventy or so cases have required significant attention from counsel

during this time, many of them have which ahs resulted form counsel having been able to

devote the full attention necessary to this case prior to today’s date.

Further, while working on this brief, counsel has also been preparing for and

attending plea and trial settings in multiple cases in state and federal courts.

Because of this, counsel was delayed in completing his brief in this matter.

II.

No prior extensions have been requested and it is respectfully prayed that, in the

interest of justice, the Court accept the brief filed with this motion.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED , undersigned counsel respectfully

prays that, in accordance with the applicable law, the Court grant this Motion and accept

his brief in this matter.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/Austin Reeve Jackson
