THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellant v. ELIZABETH HOSKTNS, Appellee
On Appeal from the County Criminal Court of Appeals No. 2
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. MB07-20056-M
ORDER
Before the Court is Elizabeth Hoskins's February 5, 2014 Motion for Extension of Time to File Appellee's Brief.
The State filed its brief on September 17, 2013. On September 20, 2013, we abated the appeal to allow the trial court to enter an order nunc pro tunc correcting the date on which Hoskins's motion for new trial was granted and to determine whether the appellate record could be supplemented with a file-stamped copy of Hoskins's amended motion for new trial. We reinstated the appeal on October 24, 2013 and ordered that Hoskins's brief was due by November 23, 2013. On December 18, 2013, Hoskins filed a Motion to Require the Court Reporter to Comply with TRAP 34.6(h) and for an Extension of Time to File Appellee's Brief. On December 19, 2013, we granted the motion and ordered Hoskins to file her brief no later than February 3, 2014. Also on December 19, 2013, we notified Hoskins's attorneys that the case was set for submission on March 4, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. On February 5, 2014, Hoskins filed the motion presently before the Court requesting that the deadline for filing her brief be extended to March 5, 2014.
We DENY the motion. Hoskins is ORDERED to file her appellee brief by February 18, 2014. If Hoskins fails to file a brief by February 18, 2014, the case will be submitted on March 4, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. without an appellee's brief and Hoskins will not be allowed to participate in oral argument. See TEX. R. APP. P. 39.1.
