Convicted militia leader Schaeffer Cox is seeking a second delay in his appeal for a conviction of conspiring to murder public officials, soliciting others to commit murder and weapons charges.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (http://bit.ly/1xujXCG) reports the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in September granted an attorney for Cox a 90-day extension to file opening briefs.
Appeal attorney Myra Sun has requested another 30 days to prepare, citing the volume of case material. Sun says the record in the case includes more than 500 pages and hundreds of exhibits.
Prosecutors are not opposing the delay.
