MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE
PRO SE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
______________________________
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL
APPEALS:
COMES NOW, Kristen Jernigan, the undersigned attorney of record for
Arthur Alexander Office, the Appellant, herein, and files this Motion for Extension
of Time to File Pro Se Petition for Discretionary Review. As set out below, the
undersigned respectfully requests a thirty-day extension so that Appellant can file
his Pro Se Petition for Discretionary Review. In support of said motion, the
undersigned would show the Court the following:
1. Appellant’s Petition for Discretionary Review is currently due in this
case on October 15, 2015.
2. Appellant seeks an extension of thirty days in which to file his
Petition for Discretionary Review, making his Petition due on or before November
14, 2015.
3. The undersigned counsel will not be representing Appellant after the
filing of this motion. Appellant will now have to obtain and review the record in
order to prepare and file a pro se Petition for Discretionary Review. The
undersigned believes that there is insufficient time between now and October,
2015, to accomplish those goals. Appellant is currently confined in federal
custody in Philadelphia. Consequently, the undersigned respectfully requests that
the Court grant Appellant the additional time.
4. The undersigned has not filed any previous motions for extension of
time in this case.
5. For the reasons set forth above, the undersigned respectfully requests
that Appellant be granted an extension of thirty days so that his brief in this case
will now be due on November 14, 2015.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the undersigned
respectfully requests that this Court grant this Motion for Extension of Time to File
Pro Se Petition for Discretionary Review.
Respectfully submitted,
