IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF THE STATE OF TEXAS
(Appeal No. 10-14-00201-CR)
YALANDA RENEE LIND, Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS Appellee
APPELLANT’S MOTION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FILING A PETITION
FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
TO THE HONORABLE JUDGES OF THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
NOW COMES YALANDA RENEE LIND, Appellant, by and through
undersigned counsel, pursuant to Rules 68.2(c) and 10.5 of the Texas Rules of
Appellate Procedure and requests that this Court grant Appellant a 30-day extension
for filing a Petition for Discretionary Review (“PDR”) herein, and for cause would
show as follows.
The Tenth Court of Appeals issued its opinion, affirming Appellant’s
conviction and sentence on July 23, 2015. Appellant’s PDR is presently due August
24, 2014.
Appellant was apparently hospitalized and did not advise that she wished to
have a PDR filed until August 6, 2015. Counsel just finished appellate briefs in State
of Texas v. Robert Kenneth Peters, Appeal No. 10-15-00151-CR in the Tenth Court
of Appeals, and United States v. Hector Hipolito-Valerio, Appeal No. 15-50418 in
the Fifth Circuit. Counsel thus has not had time to complete the PDR herein.
No previous extensions have been requested.
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, undersigned counsel requests
that the filing deadline for a PDR in this matter be extended through September 23,
2015.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ John A. Kuchera
