ERNEST RAY LONGORIA III, 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Do not publish.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 Aransas County, Texas.
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Benavides and Tijerina
ORDER
Per Curiam
This cause is before the Court on appellant's fourth motion for extension of time to file appellant's brief. Appellant's brief was originally due on November 17, 2023. After three previous extensions, appellant's brief was due to be filed on February 20, 2024. On January 29, 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 fourth 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 fourth motion for extension of time to file the brief should be granted by order.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Honorable Diamond DeLeon, counsel for appellant, file the appellate brief with this Court on or before 5:00 p.m. on March 21, 2024.
