On March 18, 2015 this Honorable Court refused to accept The Motion for Petition for Discretionary Review. The Motion for Petition for Discretionary Review Rehearing is due on April 2, 2015 III. The facts relied upon to show good cause for this requested extension is as follows: • .Appellant is currently handling this case on a Pro-se phase and isn't familiar with the laws and procedures of appellant procedure.

WHEREFORE, Appellant prays respectfully that the Honorable Court grant this Motion extending the time for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review Rehearing for Fifteen (15), to Thirty (30) Days or that this Court grant such additional time as is just and proper for Appellant to submit motion for Petition for Discretionary Review Rehearing.
