3. Furthermore, Appellant’s counsel was at a continuing education
seminar in Austin, Texas from January 16, through January 18, 2015.
4. This Motion is not made for delay, but to see that justice is done.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant prays that the
deadline for filing of Appellant's Petition for Discretionary be extended to April
18, 2015, or a similar date this court deems appropriate.
