Jerry Louis ZULAICA, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee
From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2016-CR-10438
Honorable Philip A. Kazen, Jr., Judge Presiding
ORDER
The original due date for appellant's brief was May 11, 2018. On May 15, 2018, appellant filed a motion for extension of time to file his brief, requesting a thirty-one day extension. We granted appellant's request, and the new due date for appellant's brief was June 11, 2018. On June 14, 2018, appellant filed a second request for an extension of time, requesting an additional twenty-nine days to prepare his brief. We again granted appellant's request, and the brief was due July 10, 2018. Appellant has now filed a third request for a thirty day extension of time to file his appellant's brief. In his motion, appellant provides a list of other matters he has had to handle, which has prevented him from completing the brief.
After consideration, we GRANT appellant's request for an extension of time to file his brief and ORDER appellant to file his brief in this court on or before August 9, 2018. Appellant is advised that no further extensions of time to file his brief will be granted absent written proof of extraordinary circumstances. Appellant is further advised that counsel's heavy case load or demanding work schedule is not an extraordinary circumstance.
