PD-0717-15 PD-0717-15 COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS AUSTIN, TEXAS June 12, 2015 Transmitted 6/12/2015 9:37:29 AM Accepted 6/12/2015 12:52:20 PM ABEL ACOSTA PDR No. __________ CLERK IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS 14-13-00678-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS AT HOUSTON No. 12-DCR-059441A & 12-DCR-059442 in the 240th Judicial District Fort Bend County, Texas MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE PDR COMES NOW, The Petitioner by and through his undersigned counsel and for good cause shown hereby requests an extension of 30 days to file the Pro Se Petition for Discretionary Review. In support thereof he would show this Honorable Court the following: 1. The Court of Appeals’ judgement is dated March 17th, 2015. 2. Motion for en banc reconsideration was filed on April 1st, and denied on April 28th, 2015 by the Fourteenth Court of Appeals. 3. The Petitioner was notified of his right to file a pro se PDR via certified mail but to this date counsel has no indication from his client as to whether he wishes to take advantage of his pro se appellate right. 4. If the client was moved or due to some delay in the mail beyond his control was not able to receive the certified mailing in a timely manner then it would serve the interest of justice to extend the time for him to file the PDR with the Court of Appeals. 5. Since the petitioner would be a pro se litigant, liberal relaxation of the timelines within the Rules of Appellate Procedure, would serve the interest of justice, considering his incarceration. FOR THESE REASONS, pursuant to TRAP 4.5 (a) and 68.2 (c) which permits extension of time to file the PDR in this court for good cause, the Petitioner respectfully request that this Honorable Court grant a 30 day extension in order to file a pro se PDR in the Court of Criminal Appeals.
