In support of the motion, the appellant states:1. The appellant’s initial brief is presently due to be filed no later than July 2,2009.2. This appellant has filed numerous posttrial motions in the trial court and thecourt has denied every motion except motion for indigency. The particular motionthat has delayed filing of appellant’s appellate brief is my motion requesting twohearing transcripts. These two transcripts are vital in proving clearly and undeni-able one of my appeal points on ineffective assistance of counsel. I filed the motionfor transcript of hearings on May 1, 2009 and the court denied the motion on May12, 2009. A motion to review the lower court’s denial for my request for the pre-
 
trial hearing transcript on January 26, 2009 and the scheduled trial that resulted in ano contest plea agreement entered on March 16, 2009 are before this court pres-ently and waiting for a ruling.3. The Time remaining under Rule 9.110(f) for filing the appellant’s initial brief is insufficient to ensure an adequate presentation of the appellant’s arguments onappeal.4. As required by Rule 9.300(a), this appellant certifies I have notified JoshuaHouston by e-mail pertaining to his or his offices response on my motion for anextension of time to file my brief. I faxed the e-mail to the State on May 26, 2009as shown by (Ex. “A”). Additionally I have included the fax confirmation to verifyto this court that the State was notified according to the aforesaid Rule with plentyof time to respond back to me with their answer as attached (Ex. “B”). I have notreceived any type of response from Mr. Houston or the State Attorney’s Office asof mailing this motion on Saturday May 30, 2009. I have no opinion one way or the other to whether the State would oppose or unopposed this request for exten-sion.WHEREFORE, the appellant respectfully moves for an extension to file the appel-lant’s Initial Brief for twenty days and including July 22, 2009. The appellant’sInitial brief will be considered late if filed after July 22, 2009 and subject to dis-missal.
