OFFICE OF THE

Attorney General of Tennessee

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE 37219



The appellant herein, the State of Tennessee, 
pursuant to Rule 34 (5), Rules of the Supreme Court, 
respectfully makes application for an extension of time 
of thirty-two (32) days, up to and including June 4, 1984, 
in which to file the Brief of the appellant in this case.

In support of this application the appellant 
would show:

(1) The instant case will not be argued until 
the October, 1984, session of the Court, thus the 
requested extension should not prejudicially impede the 
progress of the Court's calendar, nor delay a hearing of 
this case.

(2) The undersigned is involved in numerous 
pressing litigation and appellate matters that require 
a good deal of time and preparation. At the same time 
the undersigned is trying to do the extensive research 
and preparation necessary to the filing of an adequate 
brief before this Court. The present case assignments 
of the undersigned thus necessitate the requested 
extension of time in order that appellant may file an 
adequate brief in this case.

(3) The undersigned has conferred with 
counsel for the appellee who states he has no objection 
to this requested extension of time to file appellant's 
brief.

TO THE CLERK OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT:

Appellant therefore requests this application 
for an extension of time until June 4, 1984, to file 
appellant's brief be granted.

Respectfully submitted.
