PETITIONER'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO AMEND
PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
To the Honorable Court of Criminal Appeals:
Robert L. Pridgen, Petitioner, respectfully asks the Court for leave
to amend his petition for discretionary review (PDR) to correct errors in
the appendix.
The PDR was filed on time yesterday, April 6. The appendix to the
PDR contains photographs excluded from trial. (The photos are sexually
explicit; Pridgen requests that the PDR not be publicly filed.)
Pridgen respectfully asks the Court to accept and file the amended
PDR submitted with this motion. The PDR itself is unchanged. The only
changes were in the appendix:
• Correction of one typographical error (identity of one person
in photo was misstated);
