NUMBER 13-19-00415-CR COURT OF APPEALS THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS CORPUS CHRISTI - EDINBURG

EDDIE GUADALUPE RODRIGUEZ, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

On appeal from the 92nd District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas.

ORDER TO FILE APPELLEE’S BRIEF Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Perkes Order Per Curiam This cause is before the Court on appellee's amended third motion for extension of time to file the brief. Appellee’s brief was originally due to be filed on August 31, 2020, and the Court previously granted appellee two extensions for the filing of appellee’s brief in this cause.

The Court, having fully examined and considered appellee's amended third motion for extension of time to file the brief and the extensions previously granted in this cause, is of the opinion exigent circumstances exist, and in the interest of justice, appellee’s amended third motion for extension of time to file the brief should be granted. Accordingly, appellee’s amended third motion for extension of time to file the brief is GRANTED. The Court looks with disfavor upon the delay caused by counsel’s failure to have filed a brief in this matter.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Honorable Luis A. Gonzalez, counsel for appellee, file the appellate brief with this Court on or before March 1, 2021. No further motions to extend will be entertained.

PER CURIAM Do not publish.

TEX. R. APP. P.47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the 3rd day of December, 2020.
