PD-0248-15 PD-0248-15 COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS Transmitted 3/4/2015 2:22:04 PM Accepted 3/6/2015 11:14:35 AM No. 10-13-00373-CR ABEL ACOSTA CLERK THE STATE OF TEXAS § IN THE COURT OF § VS. § CRIMINAL APPEALS § ANTHONY GARCIA § SITTING IN AUSTIN, TEXAS MOTION FOR EXTENTION OF TIME TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF APPEALS: ANTHONY GARCIA, Appellant, moves for an extension of THIRTY (30) days in which to file Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review, pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 10.5(b), 38.6(d) and shows: I. The Judgment and Order affirming Appellant’s conviction was entered in this case on January 29, 2015. The case was originally tried in the 220th District Court in Bosque County, Texas in a case entitled in the STATE vs. ANTHONY GARCIA, Cause No. CR14712. The 10th Court of Appeals Cause No. is 10-13-00373-CR. Lead counsel for the state at trial was Adam Sibley. Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary is due on March 2, 2015. Prior to this date, the undersigned counsel has had insufficient time to locate Appellant in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Institutional Division and provide him with written notice of his obligation to file his Petition for Discretionary Review within the current time frame. Therefore, counsel requests another THIRTY (30) days in which appellant can comply, if he chooses to do so, pro se. II. The additional time request is not sought solely for delay, nor sought frivolously, but will be of genuine assistance to Appellant. This is the first extension sought. III. WHEREFORE, Appellant prays that the Court grant this Motion and modify and extend the deadline for filing Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review to April 2, 2015. March 6, 2015 Respectfully submitted, ________________/s/_____________________________ Robert G.
