Appellant's Petition for Discretionary Review is due on or about December 14, 2015.
III.
The Appellant hereby requests a second extension of time to file Appellant's Petition for

problems that would not allow him to be involved in court proceedings and is scheduled for
surgery on December 29, 2015 (see additional letter from Dr. William H. Rotzler attached).
In addition to the above-listed matter, the undersigned counsel has been involved with a
very busy trial and appellate schedule and is involved in numerous other felony and
misdemeanor cases at various stages of litigation.

Appellant, respectfully prays that this Honorable Court extend the time for filing Appellant's
Petition for Discretionary in this cause for an additional forty-five days, to January 28, 2016.
