MICHAEL A. DAVIS

Appellant

v.

STATE OF ARKANSAS

Appellee

CR 01-57

PRO SE MOTION FOR EXTENSIONOF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT'S BRIEF [CIRCUIT COURT OF PULASKI COUNTY, NO. CR 98-28, HON. JOHN W. LANGSTON, JUDGE]

MOTION GRANTED

In 1998, Michael A. Davis was found guilty of aggravated robbery, kidnapping, and theft of property and sentenced as a habitual offender to consecutive terms of imprisonment of thirty years, life, and ten years. We affirmed. Davis v. State, CR 98-1180 (April 13, 2000).

Davis subsequently filed in the trial court a timely petition pursuant to Criminal Procedure Rule 37 seeking to vacate the judgment. The petition was denied, and the record on appeal from the order has been lodged here. We granted appellant, who is proceeding pro se, access to both the trial transcript and the record lodged in this appeal to prepare his brief and an extension of time to file the brief. Davis v. State, CR 01-57 (April 5, 2001).

Appellant now asks that a second extension of time be granted. As the trial transcript and the record lodged in this appeal when combined are lengthy, thus making the preparation of the abstract portion of the brief time-consuming, the motion for extension of time is granted. Theappellant's brief is due here no later than forty days from the date of this opinion. Because appellant has already been granted an earlier extension, no further extensions will be granted.

Motion for extension of time granted.
