APPELLEE’S FIRST MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME WITHIN WHICH TO FILE MOTION FOR REHERING AND EN BANC RECONSIDERATION 

TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS:

APPELLANT, pursuant to TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1, 10.5(b) and 38.6(d), moves

for an extension of time within which to file its motion for rehearing and for en banc

reconsideration. In support of its motion, appellee submits the following:

1. Appellee was charged with driving while intoxicated under cause number 13-CCR-166390. The State dismissed this charge and refiled the case under cause number 14-CCR-176008. Appellee filed a motion to dismiss based upon double jeopardy. The trial court granted the motion on February 15, 2017. 2. This court issued a published opinion reversing the trial court’s ruling on December 7, 2017.

3. A motion for rehearing is due on December 22, 2017.

4. Appellee seeks an extension to file his motion for rehearing and en banc reconsideration until January 22, 2017.

5. The following facts are relied upon to show good cause for the requested extension:

a. Counsel will be out of town for the holiday. b. Counsel has a motion for rehearing due in Rivers v. State, AP-77,051.

6. Appellee’s motion is not for purposes of delay, but so that justice may be done.

WHEREFORE, appellee prays that this Court will grant the requested

extension.

Respectfully submitted,
