§
PETITIONER’S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME TO
FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
Jesus Aranda Lujan, Petitioner, moves this Court to extend the time for the
filing of his Petition for Discretionary Review and in support would show pursuant
to Rule 68.2(c) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.
The final order of the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Judicial District was
filed on July 15, 2015. Appendix – Exhibit C. Petitioner attempted to file the
Petition with this Court on August 14, 2015 in a traditional manner, i.e., with paper,
pre-paid postage and U.S. mail. However, such was returned by the Court’s Clerk
because the petition was not filed using the Court’s electronic filing system.
Petitioner requests that the Court allow for the timely filing of the Petition.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
FOR THESE REASONS, Jesus Aranda Lujan, Petitioner, prays that this
Honorable Court grant this request for an extension to file the Petition for
Discretionary Review. Petitioner prays for general relief.
Respectfully submitted,
