STATE OF ARKANSAS Appellee October 1, 2009 PRO SE MOTIONS FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE APPELLANT’S BRIEF [CIRCUIT COURT OF OUACHITA COUNTY, CR 2006-141, HON. CAROL C. ANTHONY, JUDGE] MOTIONS GRANTED. PER CURIAM In 2006, a jury found appellant Michael D. Dunlap guilty of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia and sentenced him to an aggregate term of 480 months’ imprisonment in the Arkansas Department of Correction. The Arkansas Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment. Dunlap v. State, CACR 07-452 (Ark. App. Nov. 28, 2007). Appellant timely filed a pro se petition for postconviction relief under Arkansas Rule of Criminal Procedure 37.1 that was denied. He has lodged an appeal of that order in this court and has now filed two motions, each requesting an extension of an additional forty-five days in which to file his brief. Appellant avers that he has experienced delays in his research as a result of his incarceration. Since filing the motions, appellant has tendered his brief. Appellant’s requests for an extension of time to file the appellant’s brief are the first such requests by appellant in this appeal. We grant the motions. Because appellant has tendered his brief and we grant the extension, we direct our clerk to file the brief as of the date of this opinion. Cite as 2009 Ark. 466 Motions granted. -2-
