________________________________________________________ APPELLANT'S MOTION TO RESCHEDULE ORAL ARGUMENT ________________________________________________________ TO THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TEXAS:

COMES NOW Appellant, James Richard "Rick" Perry (Governor Perry), and presents this motion to reschedule oral argument, and would respectfully show this Honorable Court the following:

I.

On October 7, 2015, this Court granted both petitions for discretionary review and set oral argument for November 4, 2015.

Mr. Botsford, as lead counsel on the appeal, will present oral argument to the Court. Unfortunately, on August 12, 2015, Mr. Botsford and his wife arranged a prepaid vacation in Florence, Italy.1 Accordingly, Mr. Botsford regrettably requests that the oral argument be moved to any other date convenient to the Court.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Governor Perry respectfully prays that this Court reschedule the oral argument to any other date convenient to the Court.
