STATE'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE A PRE-SUBMISSION SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF *****

Lisa C. McMinn State Prosecuting Attorney Barl.D. No. 13803300

JOHN R. MESSINGER Assistant State Prosecuting Attorney Bar I.D. No. 24053705

P.O. Box 13046 Austin, Texas 78711 [email protected] 512/463-1660 (Telephone) 512/463-5724 (Fax) TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:

The State Prosecuting Attorney respectfully presents her motion for leave to file a Pre-Submission Supplemental Briefunder Texas Rule ofAppellate Procedure 70.4.

The State's supplemental briefis intended to further narrow the central issue presented in this case, i.e., whether article 38.23 requires exclusion of evidence obtained in good-faith reliance on the mandatory blood-draw statute or prevailing case law on exigent circumstances. This will hopefully assist the Court and opposing counsel at argument.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, the State of Texas prays that the Court of Criminal Appeals grant it leave to file its Pre-Submission Supplemental brief.

Respectfully submitted, /s/ John R. Messinger JOHN R. MESSINGER Assistant State Prosecuting Attorney Bar I.D. No. 24053705
