Dear Honorable Judges of the Court of Criminal Appeals:.

The Court of Criminal Appeals previously granted an extension of time to file the supplemental record on these cases to August 31, 2015. We have determined additional time·is needed to complete the hearing and have the supplemental record by that date. Therefore, I request an extension to October 31, 2015, to provide the Court of Criminal Appeals with this supplemental record.

The supplemental information requested in this case will require a full evidentiary hearing before the Court. The parties have informed the Court they need this additional time to prepare for and conduct this hearing. The reasons the parties need this additional time are: 1. The State is represented in this case by the Dallas County District Attorney's Office's Conviction Integrity Unit: The attorneys in this unit who are responsible for representing the State are Patricia Cummings and Cynthia Garza. Mi Cummings is new to the District Attorney's Office, having started her job as Chief of the Conviction Integrity Unit on July 6, 2015. Additionally, Cynthia Garza was out on matei11ity leave, and found it necessary to extend her leave to past the original date she expected to return. Ms. Garza has just recently returned to work fulltime on July 20, 2015.

Mr. Udashen has informed the court that he also needs additional time to prepare for this hearing. In addition to various trial and appellate matters, in the months of July and August, Mr. Udashen has been course director for the State Bar Advanced Criminal Law Course, as well as course director for the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association/Innocence Project ofTexas Innocence Seminar.

3. Lead counsel for Mr. Mozee is Nina Morrison pfthe National Innocence Project based in.

New York. . Ms. Morrison handles cases around the country and needs additional time, once a hearing date is set, to make arrangements to be in Dallas for this hearing.

4. Once the parties have completed their preparation for this hearing, the court will need to clear some time on its trial docket to conduct this hearing.

In light of the aforementioned, this ~ourt requests an extension of time until October 31, 2015, to resolve the issues.

Yours very truly,.
