Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

my husband has filed an apppeal due to the state not proving constructive posession of a firearm by a convicted fellon. The court has filed a motion of extension of time 3 times and have been granted 2 additional months each time to produce the papers that his public defender has requested. Isn't this going against his due process? I mean we had 30 days to file the appeal. Shouldn't they have to produce this supplement in a timely fashion?
