APPELLANT’S FIRST MOTION FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
____________________________________________________
TO THE HONORABLE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS:
COMES NOW Appellant, through his undersigned attorney, and requests that the
Court grant a first extension of time to file his petition for discretionary review in the
above-captioned cases in accordance with Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure 68.2(c)
and 10.5(b). The Appellant would respectfully show the Court the following:
1. The petition arises from the appeal of three aggravated robbery cases heard by
the Fourteenth Court of Appeals, cause numbers 14-16-00871-CR,
14-16-00872-CR, and 14-16-00873-CR. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals
affirmed Applicant’s 40-year prison sentence in each case.
2. The Fourteenth Court of Appeals rendered judgment on November 14, 2017.
1
3. Neither party filed a motion for rehearing or motion for en banc reconsideration.
4. The petition for discretionary review filing deadline is December 14, 2017.
5. This is Appellant’s First Motion for Extension of Time to file a petition for
discretionary review.
6. Appellant seeks a 30-day extension from the date the petition is due and would
show the Court that an extension is needed for the following reason:
After counsel advised Appellant by certified mail correspondence
and telephone conversation regarding the possibility of filing a petition for
discretionary review, Appellant decided to formally retain counsel for this
purpose on December 12, 2017.
Given that Appellant’s final decision to retain occurred just two days
prior to the deadline for filing the petition, the undersigned counsel
respectfully requests a 30-day extension to properly draft and prepare the
document for filing with this Court.
THEREFORE, Appellant requests an extension of time to file its petition for
discretionary review until January 13, 2017.
Respectfully submitted,
