Motion to Extend Time to File PDR To the Honorable Court of Criminal Appeals: Appellant moves to extend the time for her to file his Petition for Discretionary Review, and would show: The Fifth Court of Appeals entered judgment in Mr. Michael Dwain Bradshaw’s case, styled Ex Michael Dwain Bradshaw, on August 23, 2016. Mr. Bradshaw did not move for rehearing. Counsel told Mr. Bradshaw that he would file a petition for discretionary review. The deadline for Mr. Bradshaw to file his Petition for Discretionary Review was September 22, 2016. Counsel lost track of this deadline. Counsel’s failure to file is not attributable to Mr. Bradshaw.
