Original Court Document: View Document
Jack Roady, the Criminal District Attorney of Galveston County, filed a motion for an extension to submit the State's response brief in the appeals of Gary James Cox, who was convicted of multiple offenses, including failure to comply as a sex offender and attempted sexual performance of a child. The trial date was set for February 4, 2015, and the appellant's brief was filed on August 7, 2015, with the State's brief originally due on September 8, 2015. This motion is the State's first request for an extension, aiming to align the deadlines of this case with a companion case, for which an extension to October 9, 2015, was previously granted. The attorney for the State cites a busy schedule over the past 75 days, which included completing several other briefs and attending continuing legal education (CLE) events. The State requests to extend the deadline for its brief until October 9, 2015, emphasizing that the extension is not sought for the purpose of delay but is necessary due to the attorney's workload. Additionally, the State has other pending briefs due shortly after the requested extension date. The motion includes a certification of compliance stating that it is computer-generated and contains 364 words. It also confirms that a copy of the motion was served to the appellant’s attorney. An affidavit from Allison Lindblade, the attorney for the State, asserts the truthfulness of the motion's contents. The document concludes with notarization affirming the authenticity of the statements made.
