    While working on this case counsel has also been working on approximately 50
    open appellate cases in this and other courts to which he has been appointed by Smith

    with potential witnesses, jail and office visits with new appellate appointments, trial court
    appearances for the same), requests for and reviews of reporter’s and clerk’s records,
    research, briefing, review of opinions, investigation of potential PDR issues, etc. While
    not all of these seventy or so cases have required significant attention from counsel
    during this time, many of them have which ahs resulted form counsel having been able to
    devote the full attention necessary to this case prior to today’s date.
    Because of this, counsel is requesting an additional week to work on this brief.
    II.
    No prior extensions have been requested and is respectfully prayed that the in the
    interest of justice, the Court grant an extension of seven days in this matter.
    WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, undersigned counsel respectfully
