SERGIO ADRIAN CONTRERAS, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
Do not publish. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).
ON APPEAL FROM THE 36TH DISTRICT COURT OF SAN PATRICIO COUNTY, TEXAS
Before Justices Benavides, Longoria, and Silva
ORDER
PER CURIAM
This cause is before the Court on appellant's third motion for extension of time to file appellant's brief. Appellant's brief was originally due on May 8, 2024. After two previous extensions, appellant's brief was due to be filed on August 16, 2024. On July 16, 2024, the Clerk of the Court sent appellant notice that no further extensions would be granted absent new and exigent circumstances.
However, the Court, having fully examined and considered appellant's third motion for extension of time to file the brief and the extensions previously granted in this cause, is of the opinion that, in the interest of justice, appellant's third motion for extension of time to file the brief should be granted by order.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Honorable Zoe Russell, counsel for appellant, file the appellate brief with this Court on or before 5:00 p.m. on August 30, 2024. If the Honorable Zoe Russell fails to file the brief as ordered, a show cause hearing shall be set.
