Marcus Allen Bergh v. State ( 2014 )

NUMBER 13-14-00299-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG
MARCUS ALLEN BERGH, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 24th District Court
of Victoria County, Texas.
ORDER TO FILE APPELLATE BRIEF
Before Justices Benavides, Perkes, and Longoria
Order Per Curiam
This cause is currently before the Court on appellant's second extension of time to
file the brief. The reporter’s record was filed on July 14, 2014, and appellant’s brief was
originally due to be filed thirty days thereafter. See Tex. R. App. P. 38.6(a). This Court
has previously granted appellant one extension of time totaling 86 days to file the brief,
and appellant now seeks an additional 60 days, until February 2, 2015, to file the brief.
The Court GRANTS appellant’s second unopposed motion to file the brief and
ORDERS the Honorable Arnold Hayden to file the brief on or before February 2, 2015.
The Court looks with disfavor on the delay caused by counsel’s failure to timely file a brief
in this matter. No further extensions will be granted absent exigent circumstances. If
counsel fails to file the brief within the specified period of time, the Court will act
appropriately to ensure that appellant's rights are protected. See id. R. 38.8(b)(4).
PER CURIAM
Do not publish.
TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
