EnglishEspañolSimplified EnglishEspañol Fácil
Mickey Lee Bates, the appellant, requests a 60-day extension to file a petition for discretionary review following the Court of Appeals' ruling on August 11, 2015, which affirmed his conviction and overruled his motion for rehearing. The petition is due on September 10, 2015, but Bates' counsel cites multiple professional obligations that have hindered timely preparation, including several court hearings and personal commitments over the past month. The attorney has also been recently retained for another case. Bates is incarcerated, and the extension would push the deadline to November 9, 2015. The motion is submitted by Gary L. Waite, the appellant's attorney, who certifies that a copy of the motion was served to the County Attorney's Office on September 9, 2015.
