Texas - He is proceedinq in this matter informa pauperis.
Morris also wishes to direct the Court's attention to a Motion
For Immediate Court Or&er filed inaccompany of this motion on this date .
The facts presented in that motion are the bases for this second extension
of tim e -
Being indigent. Morris relies upon prison officials to obtain the
necessary supplies to file courc pleadings- For TDCJ this duty falls
upon the Access To Courts department, which each unit has a ATC Supervisor
On the Smith Unit that person is Albert Jimenez.
On February 24, 2015 . Morris requested 180 sheets of paper to
prepare three(3) copies of his appellate brief. Mr. Jimenez refused
to supply 180 sheets, instead providing 35 sheets of paper. Morris has
souqht relief from the administrative remedies a vailab ifet to him. The
Step 1 qrievance was returned on March 6, 2015. denyinq relief, stating
Jimenez did nothinq wronq despite U.S. Supreme Court law and TDCJ policy.
Morris has appealed this decision to the next level , but a decision
can take up to 40 days .
Morris's filinq deadline is March 17, 2015- The likelihood that
Morris is provided the necessary supplies by March 17- 2015 is very
unlikely, even with a Court Order. Thus . Morris request a second extension
of time of 30 days to new filing deadline of April 16 , 2015 , due to
the circumstances presented herein and in accompanying motion for
immediate c o u r t order-
Morris asserts he would have timely filed his appellate brief if
he had had the necessary supplies. These circumstances are beyond
Morris's control and the extension is not to cause delay or injury to
parties involved.

prays this Honorable Court qrants an extension of time from March 17,
2015 to April 16, 2015 due to these extraordinary circumstances beyond
Morris 's control , in the interest of justice.
