In the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Leroy Calhoun, Jr.
v.
The State of Texas
Motion to Extend Time to File
Petition for Discretionary Review
Leroy Calhoun moves, under Rule 68.2, to extend the time to
file a petition for discretionary review (PDR).
On February 12, 2015, the Tenth Court of Appeals affirmed the
judgment of the trial court in a memorandum opinion, under
cause number 10-14-00058-CR.
No previous extensions to file a PDR have been requested. The
current deadline is March 16, 2015.
Mr. Calhoun requests an additional 60 days to file the petition,
making the new due date May 15, 2015. Counsel was hired on
this case after appointed counsel declined to file a PDR, and
needs additional time to review the record, familiarize himself
with the case, and complete the petition.
In addition, counsel has been occupied with preparing for the
motion for new trial hearing in Pete Rodriguez v. State, 01-15-
00135-CR; writing and filing the brief in Jesus Jimenez v. United
States in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Cir-
cuit; and preparing the motion for new trial in Pastor Israel Diaz
v. State, no cause number yet assigned.
I served a copy of this motion on the State of Texas simultane-
ously with electronic filing.
Respectfully,
