Court: Court of Appeals of Texas; August 17, 2015; Texas; State Appellate Court
Original Court Document: View Document
The State of Texas, represented by Assistant District Attorney Kevin Belanger, filed a motion for a 30-day extension to submit its answer to Andrew PJ Whitaker's appellate brief in the case styled "Andrew PJ Whitaker v. The State of Texas." The original brief was filed on July 19, 2014, with a response due by August 18, 2015. The requested extension would set the new deadline for the State's answer to September 17, 2015. The State asserts that the extension is necessary to adequately respond to the appellant's arguments and is not intended to cause unnecessary delay. The need for additional time is justified by the attorney's obligations to other ongoing cases, particularly a scheduled bench trial concerning a separate homicide charge on August 17, 2015, and attendance at a conference from August 9 to August 13. The motion emphasizes that this is the first request for an extension regarding the answer submission. The document concludes with a certificate of service, confirming that a copy of the motion was delivered to the appellant's counsel on August 17, 2015.
